A CHEERY LITTLE CHRISTMAS LUNCH



This is just the perfect size tree for the kitchen table....





It's full of lots of yummy ornaments ...sweets to the sweet...


The tree suckers are from Walmart...


Not sure where the dishes came from..I think just a lot of odds and ends you collect over time...can you relate...


I am sure you all must do the same when you are doing a tablescape...start scouring the house for items that will fit just right...




The bright napkins aren't your regular Christmas napkin but I think the vivid colors kind of carry the theme...




You may notice the cute little chocolate cake ornaments..I actually made them years ago from brown and white super sculpy that I rolled flat, stacked and cut into cake sections...stick a hook or string tag in center, then bake as per box instructions...Before baking I added some balls I formed with the same product in red to form berries to the top of cake...





The stemmed glasses with the green rim are from GW for 1.00 each...




The small cupcake ornaments were purchased years ago at a sale from Shinodas which is a wholesaler in orange county.





I love the cute acyclic flatware....I think from Ross, last year..




Although the weather outside is kind of dreary...not so inside...lol




I think the rest of the ornaments including the ones hanging from chandy are all from Target....I tied them to the arms of the chandy really loose...easy to get off...




I love the little white tree, I am sure I will get a lot of different looks and can be moved around easily....

  4. Wow, Phyllis, you do not disappoint with your Christmas table! This is just beautiful! I love the tree you've used here and the ornaments are so much fun. Great color scheme, too. Love the green plates turned that way and the napkins colors do work really well with what you've got going on. I could go on, but I think you are getting that I just love it all! : )

  34. Hi Phyllis!

    Love the lime and red together. I have some from last year... maybe I can "copycat" your table?! If BJ can try, so can I ;) She did a great job putting together a red and white candy cane table copied after yours from last year.

    Before you get to that 500 mark try to share again at my Bunny Hop! I know my readers would LOVE this post :)
