Do you remember the beautiful Festive Holly (Nikko/Japan) dinnerware I bought last year at the consignment sale I helped my daughter with? I researched on Replacements.com, and they would have cost $419.50 if I'd bought them a piece at the time (doesn't include shipping). I got all this for $19.50!! Probably my best bargain EVAH!! Not even a single chip!
Last year, I used gold chargers. This year I'm using silver. They are the only new item on this table, and were 98 cents each at Wal Mart.
I could hardly wait to get them out again this year. Aren't they pretty??
This table cloth was bought at the same consignment sale for $4 - $5. I just draped it over the drop cloth table cloth on the table, since it's only 52" x 70".
A perfect cloth with the dishes, don't you think?
This pedestal was a KMart find a number of years ago for $5.00. The green bowl was purchased at a consignment shop near our SW Georgia home. The pine cones are some I picked up there last year. These wood candlesticks show up everywhere. They're old as well.
The green glasses are Anchor Hocking, and belonged to my MIL. I really treasure these, and they too are perfect for this table!
The silver candle rings are from Good Will a couple of years ago. The red napkins are from Wal Mart. The white napkins were from a set of 12 that came with a table cloth that I purchased in the 80's at a pottery nearby. Don't they look great with the dishware?
This stainless is from the consignment sale my daughter held. I got 40 pieces for $10.00. That was a fabulous bargain too. They are very plain, but are nice and heavy.
This was the very first thing I did to decorate for Christmas. I just couldn't wait to enjoy these fabulous finds! This table was done very frugally, and I couldn't be happier with it! It just sings Christmas!

It does sing Christmas! Love it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful table setting. I think I have similar china. Pretty sure I do. But, then I find many times you and I think a lot the same. Thank you for coming by my blog and encouraging me while I make some changes. Now I wish I had never started the process. Hugs, to you. Karie
ReplyDeleteKathy,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely table, and great deals! A dropcloth would save me a lot of trouble, since so few of my tablecloths are large enough when all the leaves are in it.
You really scored on those dishes. You have created a lovely tablescape. Very festive.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful table - love the dishes, and what great finds! Thanks also for stopping by my blog.
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays!
Hi Kathy, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Looks like you are well on your way to a fabulously decorated Christmas season. I love your table cloth too. Reminds me of one we had growing up and it looks beautiful with your dishes. Those chairs look comfy too. I'm all about a comfy chair during a wonderful meal. Makes lingering over it much more enjoyable.
