Christmas Tablescape

Christmas is almost here....what happened to December....is's almost gone!  

I was tired of the ruffled slip covers that  I had on the dining room chairs,  so off they came...lol.      I may leave the chairs as is....or maybe reupholster the seats.....or put the ruffled slip covers back on...the only thing I can't do is paint them!  H put his foot down on that idea.   What do you think I should do?

I have set the table with  vintage Cuthbertson  Christmas tree dishes.    I did a little research on these dishes after I bought them at the auction this past summer.   This patternstarted almost 100 years ago in England ...I have a link to a web site further down this post if you want to read the info that I found.

I'm still playing with the arrangement and pieces that I will use to serve our Christmas dinner,  so you will see a few different ways.   Let me know what you think

   I can't decide whether to use my Grandmothers thumbprint pink glasses or some diamond design green glasses (you can see one behind the larger pink glass)

 Snowflake napkin rings....or....

antler napkin rings.....

I tucked a small  3D Christmas card between the plates with a short note to loved one that will be sitting there.   

What should we eat with.....silver or gold"

Here is the link to the dishes...................http://cuthbertsondinnerware.com/story.html

I have a silk flower centerpiece for now but will probably have fresh flowers on Christmas .
Our Christmas dinner will be served buffet style from the kitchen island.     I have another table set up in the family room and one in the sun room.

                                                                    Merry Christmas
