You...OMG, Patti...four tablescapes in one post! You've really outdone yourself! They are all lovely and it's hard to choose a favorite. I know my daughter would go crazy for the last one with the centerpiece of Santas and the cute elves clutching the flatware. I'm partial to the MacKenzie-Childs farmhouse plates with the blue plaid trim and deer. LOVE! The green and gold star plates are classic and beautiful, too. It's so nice that you have several occasions this year to entertain and use your tableware. It was fun hopping with you.

So many choices and ideas! While all of your offerings are wonderful, I think my favorite is the first, mostly because I love the mix of patterns - checks and polka dots. I have your dinner plates with the stars, but they are blue not green- mine are blue, I have never seen them in green!! I purchased mine about 30 years ago as well. Love your blue plaid plates!! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!! ❤️🎄Ann @ Corner of Plaid and Paisleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04581519271081464260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820469895385780659.post-49610845100030472592021-12-08T05:40:48.722-05:002021-12-08T05:40:48.722-05:00So many wonderful choices!

I'm like you when it comes to using blue at Christmas, but when paired up with enough green and white or green and black, it looks FABULOUS! I LOVE your dishes with that fantastic tartan edge!!! You have a great lineup in store for this holiday season, and I'm jealous that you already have that in the bag! I'm going to have to painstakingly work through it still. Sigh! 🙄 Bravo to you on ALL your creations! Great job!

But I really like seeing your post bigger than on a phone.<br />I am amazed you did four tablescapes. I love the Christmas tree napkin fold and your pretty table with that. Your room is so pretty too.<br />Your MC candy cane napkin rings are darling and the napkins bring all the great colors together. Are they MC also? The little elf is so cute and holding the silverware is adorable.I love that plate stack. <br />Fun blog hopping again with you.

I think the M-C beaded candy cane napkin rings are the very cutest!

I also have many holiday/winter dishes, so I try to rotate them throughout the season. Your first setting featured dishes I've never seen before and so pretty. Altoona? My father-in-law grew up there, with ancestors back to the Revolutionary War. I love to explore there. Thank you for going to so much trouble to style 4 seasonal tables.

I think I'm loving the first table collage of elements - those Scottish Bouquet apps are really nice on the fluted ceramic salads with red dinner and charger base. Of course, having littles makes the peppermint theme fun. I can imagine the excitement those would generate with your gang, lol. The really fun thing about all of these elements is that they can all be interchanged for seemingly countless ideas. I'm so glad you brought what is the real dilemma to life and to the table for those of us who love tablescaping.....I can't decide! Thanks, Patti!Rita C at Panoplyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351306074493103021noreply@blogger.com
