Nutcracker Sweets Tablescape

YOU ARE INVITED TO

A

NUTCRACKER SWEETS

PARTY

Come into my dining room and have a sweet

treat with a part of my collection of nutcrackers.

The holidays are here and gorgeous jewel tones fill

the house. 

The colors  for this table

are red and green layered with white.

I am combining my red and green stemware and

a collection of plates around my very first

Christmas plates which I bought 25 years

ago from Spiegel catalog.

You might say these plates were the beginning

of my plate collection.  We still use these every

year.  I usually leave two tables set throughout

the holidays so we can enjoy the plates all month.

The plates feature holly and berries and are

called White Christmas.

I chose a collection of red and white nutcrackers to

feature on the table accented by rich red candles

and candle holders.

The table is underscored with a white 120 inch

tablecloth with a silver gauzy topper bunched

up in the middle reminding one of tissue paper

from Christmas presents.

The star of the table is the beautiful nutcracker

serving platter that stands tall above the others.

Beautiful sweets in red, green and white adorn the top of

the platter that he holds so majestically.

Nutcrackers of all heights and sizes are

invited.

A few tassles are thrown in for color and texture.

These majestic nutcrackers stand guard over

the dining room all season.

They stand six feet tall and are a magical

wonder to all of the little ones that come for

the holidays.

The dining room is already adorned in red with

the rich  red shaded chandelier.

The chandelier gets its own decor with greenery,

tassels and cording and additional ornaments.

Please take a gorgeous cookie

 for an appetizer.  They taste as good

as they look!

I will be featuring these cookies in my next post.

Come back to get the easy recipe.

I will be posting with

Six foot tall nutcrackers - Costco 9 years ago

(My sister Jean was visiting from Texas.  We

saw them at Costco and I had to have them.

They were only about $250 each.  Then we

had to figure out how to get them home!

Joni reminded me that she came with her truck

to pick them up.  Thanks Joni!)
