Feather The Nest for Christmas

The nest is all feathered for Christmas

and these gorgeous feather placemats

are a DIY versions of the ones I

showed you from ZGallerie

on my Christmas Inspiration post.

After seeing these at their store,

I knew I had

to have some for my table and

I decided to follow their inspiration

of aqua and gold too.

This is ZGallerie's aqua and told

placesetting from their website.

Kathleen is having a table challenge

to find a table on the net and imitate it.

Mine looks more like theirs at the store

but I am happy to join the challenge.

The aqua and gold is beautiful

together and makes an

elegant statement in the

dining room.

I love keeping both the dining room

and kitchen table set for Christmas.

It makes such a great part of the 

holiday decorations to see the table

beautifully set.

These beautiful placemats

truly looks like aqua nests

for the plates and charger.

They are so soft and pretty.

I borrowed this tray from my living

room for the centerpiece today.

It is all sparkly and perfect for the table.

The light gold candlesticks, aqua trees, candles

and ornaments sit in a bejeweled white tray

that I got a few years ago also from ZGallerie.

The new sparkly aqua candles were

from treasure hunting at Home Goods this year.

They always have such a great selection

of holiday candles, but grab them when

you see them, they might not be there

when you go back.  

The aqua glass

trees were also from Home Goods 

last year or the year before.

Here is a closeup on the glittery

border of this white tray.  I love it

for displaying treasures.

I paired one set of my aqua goblets

with my gold ones.

These are fun ones that we picked up

in Guadalajara for about $3 each - 

what a great deal and I love the

twisted stem.

These gorgeous napkin rings

were the ones I told you I got

on sale at ZGallerie this year.

They have this beautiful crystal.

They are just tassles used as

napkin rings.  

The gold and white is stacked

alternately and the base is

a white jeweled charger.

Another ZGallerie find - this table

should be titled ZGallerie Treasures

shouldn't it?!!

Yum!

This table is one of my favorites.

My gold flatware from 

Horchow is featured again.  I got

these last year from Horchow.

They were on sale too so I don't

know if they are available anymore.

I did my placemats differently

than the expensive ones at ZGallerie - 

I only feathered the edge as the plate

stack will cover the middle.

My next post will show you how easy

it is to make your own version.

I hope your nest is all feathered

and that you are enjoying your

Christmas preparations.

Thanks for taking time during this busy

time of year to stop by and visit!

I will be posting this with
