Christmas Table Scapes

Last week, I had some friends over for a holiday dinner.

With all the running around one does in preparation for 
a dinner party, I always forget to take pictures of how 
I have decorated my home for the occasion.  

I love decorating the house for the holiday.  It is always

very simple ... lots of candles and fairy lights hung over

mirrors, or strung down the middle of my dining room table

among lots of pillar candles that gives all the guests a

warm soft glow.

 I acquired a beautiful ornate plaster fireplace from the Shaw

Theatre sets which I just adore.  You can't have a real fire in

the fireplace, so I put lots of little fairy lights and some sparkly

ornaments to give that part of the dining room a glow.

 From Pinterest, I found some other interesting Christmas

table scape ideas.  To me, nothing is more beautiful than

using natural fabrics like linen, or burlap  and then bringing

some fragrant greenery from the outside like pine or even

rosemary sprigs.

 Or using tree stumps in the middle of the table to place your

candles, etc.  They only thing to consider is not blocking the

natural conversation of your guests across the table.

 This is a Scandinavian table.

So white and beautifully simple.

 I also love the simplicity of this table scape.

These lights are a simple decorating touch.

Add water to Elmer's Glue and brush inside a jar.

Put glitter inside the jar and spin the jar around so

that the glitter coats the walls of the jar.

Add a tea light after the glitter dries

and 

Voila!!!
