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!
Now, Let's hop!

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!
ReplyDeleteYour table is SO merry and bright! I always look forward to seeing your collection of MKC at your table and home. I love your plate stack and mix of high and low but your tree fold with your napkins with the checked fringe detail are stunning. I love the sweet detail of the bow topper! Happy Hopping with your and Merry December! 🎄
ReplyDeleteOh Patti, I LOVE this! You have mixed and matched in such a wonderful way! I love the holly theme, and the way you "off-centered the centerpiece and candlestick. The holly ringed glasses are beautiful and the tree fold MK napkins with the bow topper look fantastic! I also love the holly plate with the Courtly Check. So many pretties and the Santa is adorable! I'm sure this will be my favorite table in the hop!

Your table for two is perfect for creating a holly jolly atmosphere to share. Love the black and white base for this table setting. The variety of colorful plates is eye-catching and perfect against the checkered background. Love how the napkins work so well as Christmas trees. Wishing you and your family a very happy holiday season.

Patti, your place settings make me smile!! They are all about making Christmas merry!! I like the mix of patterns. Your napkins make perfect Christmas trees with the fringe trim like garland❤️ wishing you a wonderful Christmas and all the best in the New Year.🎄🤶🎉
ReplyDeleteSorry Patti, this is Ann from Corner of Plaid and Paisley
DeleteA very MacKenzie Christmas, Patti! I love how that napkin's edge acts as garland on the tree layered fold. The Santa butler is fantastic, and that Evergreen pattern is a favorite of mine (even though I have nothing in that line!). The holly plates are the perfect complement to the stack, and that CC fluted edge plate is the best. I like the stretchy chair covers too. The fit is super. You're quite the M-C ambassador. Someday I'd love to see how you store it all. Thanks so much for participating in this Christmas hop, and I hope & John and you rfamily have a very Merry Christmas season.
ReplyDeletePatti, this is so charmingly festive! I love the combination of materials, patterns and textures that create a wonderful party for two. I especially love the napkins done as Christmas trees -- I think these are just about the most perfect napkins I've seen used this way, with the gingham appearing as a striking garland. And Santa makes me smile. I'm sure you'll enjoy this throughout the holiday season. Have a very merry Christmas!
