Angels Among Us Tablescape

Welcome to my

Angelic Table

for Christmas this year.

My darling daughter in law gave me

these fabulous angel wings last year

and I did a tablescape with them

tied onto the kitchen table

But this year we moved into the dining room

and I used a tack to attach them to

these beautiful brocade slipper chairs.

I also added a little bling

to the wings by pinning

a brooch on them.

(From my favorite -Fabulousbrooch.com)

Everything is silver and cream,

one of my personal favorite combinations

for a dressy table.

The placecards are tucked into 

another set of tiny angel wings that

I found at Pier 1 this year.

You know those literally leaped into

my basket!!

I used two kinds of coordinating

silver printed napkins.

I printed the names on cardstock in 

a dark gray for the placecards 

and then spayed Glitter Blast

on the cardstock.  After the paint

was dry, I cut them to size.

I would love to tell you the name of

this font, but it is so small I can't read

it - starts with an A!  Sorry

I took my square plates and

turned them each on an angle to get 

a fun and different look out of them.

Of course the Horchow

silverplate has to come out of the

chest for this table.

(Some of you have asked about

this but it has been discontinued - sorry!)

I love using these silverplate goblets

that I bought years ago from Spiegel

Catalog because even the kids

can use them without any worry.

Fortunately I was wise enough to 

choose 24 all those years ago.

I had to let the beauty of the wood

show with this tablescape.

Fresh flowers and silvery 

presents and candles on another

glittering placemat create

the perfect centerpiece.

It feel really special to have fresh flowers

during the cold of winter.

Everything is creamy white.

I placed them in this mini bottle cooler

with stag heads on each side.  This is

the perfect sized container for all kinds

of things - flowers, chocolates, candy, etc.

The flowers were just show-offs!

A little snow in the bottom of

this apothecary and a sparkling

candle and it changes dramatically.

These little gift boxes have

been all over the house this year. 

I don't know if I will ever give them

away as gift boxes as I like them so much!

I have to tell you a darling story

about this daughter - Jessica - after

coming to my tablescaping class at

Gatehouse No1 this year, she decided

she too could easily do a tablescape 

and she has had her table all decked

out all season long!  I loved it.

I hope your Christmas plans are coming

right along.  Ours got derailed with sickness

and hubby having kidney stone surgery, but

I think we are back together - cross your fingers!!

Thanks for taking a peek over 

the shoulder of my angel!

I hope your Christmas is filled with

the magic of God's gift to the world,

His Only Begotten Son, 

and you feel of His love this Christmas season!

And may you feel the presence of

Angels among us all year long.

I will be posting with
