Christmas At The Farm

     My previous (and first ever) blog featured a tablescape with my farm scene dishes.  I already had them all out, so I decided to try to morph the tablescape into a Christmas tablescape.  As of yet, still, I haven't decorated the house.  Thank goodness my dining room is decorated with the tablescape.  I'm running behind this year.

I didn't have a table runner that would look nice, so I ran off to Kohls and bought this one, along with the napkin holders.

The centerpiece is an old piece of raku pottery I bought about 20 years ago at a local pottery shop in Alton, IL.  I filled it with cutting from the tree in my front yard.

The red ornament candle holders I received in a "pass the trash" gift exchange at work.  I went out and bought another one. 

The silver candle holders were purchased at Kohls last year.

I received the red wine glasses from my mother-in-law several years ago.

I enjoy deocrating the buffet behind the table.  I placed my Waterford wine glasses, again a gift from my mother-in-law, now deceased.  I sure do miss her.

This tablescape is the start of my Christmas decorating.  I'm just not in the spirit yet this year.  Maybe this will rev me up.  I sure hope so.
