Wow! It has been a busy week with trying to finish the decorations, doing a little Black Friday shopping along with everything else that needs to be done! That’s why I’ve been missing in action this week. I did take a break to put together a Christmas tablescape.
For the centerpiece, I pulled in a few gold pieces along with a cluster of crystal candlesticks.
The green wine glasses were a recent find at GW. The iced tea glasses are made by Mikasa.
The green and red plaid placemats were from a clearance sale at the dollar store several years ago. I LOVE, LOVE how they look with the place setting!
Using a red charger, I topped it with the holly Christmas plates from Gibson. Do you recognize the red plate? They are from the set of Royal Ruby that I found at GW. You can read about that here. As a matter of fact, I got the holly plates the same day. I had seen them a couple of time but really didn’t need any more Christmas dishes but I knew they were look great with the Royal Ruby and for 59 cents each, you just can’t beat that?
I used gold flatware and brass napkin rings to bring out the gold trim of the plate.
A little candlelight…..
good food and good company makes for an enjoyable night!
TIP OF THE DAY: I have tried NUMEROUS things to help boiled eggs peel easier and I have finally found the trick! Baking soda! We have fresh eggs and they are so difficult to peel but when I put them on to boil, I sprinkle baking soda in the water. After they cool off, I start by cracking them on the broader end because there is usually an air bubble which helps get the peeling started!
Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteFirst...great tip!!! I hate peeling boiled eggs because they can be such a royal pain. Even though Ramon loves deviled eggs, I don't so them often because of the egg peeling situation. I'm going to try the baking soda. OK, second...you've been MIA because you're just now finding your way out from under the Black Friday pile?!??! :-) I couldn't even do it! I was safe and snug in my bed! Last, but certainly not least, great table! I love the trees, and it's so great you found those plaid placemats! Way to go, Miss Tammy!
