Welcome and Happy Holidays!
I am joining Panoply for a Holiday Tablesetting Blog Hop along with 14 other bloggers. The list is at the bottom of this post!
My dining table is set for two with a HOLLY theme....
...the wine glasses are trimmed with a holly ring....
...and the off-centered centerpiece has a holly sprig tucked into greenery:
The candle is off center so that dishes can be passed back and forth easily!
The chairs have a stretchy slip covers on them:
Star plates are perfect for side dishes:
The stack of dishes are a mix of inexpensive and expensive pieces....
...and a variety of designs.
The bread and butter plate is plastic.....
...the salad plate is a ceramic MacKenzie-Childs dish....
...and the dinner plate is porcelain:
This MacKenzie-Childs napkin, with the gingham trim, lends itself perfectly for a simple tree fold :
The place mats are inexpensive ones from Marshall's:
A simple bow acts as a "tree topper"
WHO is that peeking from under the table?
Why, it's Santa:
He is perfect for holding appetizers or desserts, OR....
....for cups for after dinner coffee!
I wish all of you a happy holiday season with lots of joy and peace!

Patti, I LOVE your holly plates, and the festive, jolly table setting you've created with them! Wishing you a joyous Christmas season!
ReplyDeleteYour holly jolly table for two makes me smile. I always kept a table for two set, as Monnie and I looked forward to sitting down together to enjoy a meal. Setting a pretty table makes it even more special. Love the Christmas tree napkin fold. Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteLove your Holly Jolly theme! The MacKenzie-Childs napkins folded to look like trees are darling. I also love your plate stacks, and I really need to add a few unique Courtly Check pieces (like the star plates) to my collection. I love how they look on your table!
ReplyDeletePatti, I adore your tablescape with the combination of various patterns. The black and white checkered pattern famous for McK-Childs is exquisite. Mixing it with the holly really makes it all pop and is such a classic. The addition of the tree napkin fold is a wonderful touch too. Of course, what also captured my attention was the serving Santa. It is perfect serving up some coffee cups, but in my mind, I was also picturing a big and colorful chocolate cake. (You know where my mind is at----dessert.) Patti, your collection is gorgeous and is used in such a stunning Christmas table. Enjoy! Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeletePatti, your table for two is perfect. I love the plate stack and the Holly dinner plate. The MacKenzie-Childs napkin, with the gingham trim is so pretty as a tree napkin fold. Santa looks festive and jolly serving up coffee. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas season!
ReplyDeleteVery cute Table Love the holly jolly theme. the Christmas tree napkin is the cutest. Love your serving Santa. The plate stack is wonderful. Cannot go wrong with Mackenzie Childs. Happy Holidays.
ReplyDeletePatti, you set the most amazing tables for two and this one is no exception! I always wait to see what you will bring from your MKC collection and oh my, this is lovely. The plate stack is beautiful set on the red placemats and the tree napkin fold is a gorgeous topper to the plate stack. I love the centerpiece, and that Santa butler is just stunning. It was so great hopping with you and I wish you the merriest of Christmases!
