0 Christmas Tablescape 2011


Using the same Spode plates from last year, I created a new look, simply by using new plaid napkins.

My vintage red and green glasses are a constant, especially at Christmas.
They're like jewels on the table!
More sparkle came from Grandma's sterling silver which I am honored to have received and pass down.

It only made sense to recycle the wedding centerpieces into the Christmas table centerpieces.

I used three white hydrangeas in their bark covered containers and the succulent candle wreaths on the end.

After dinner, I gave the centerpieces to Grandma and Auntie Ann.
They should have taken more! I have 24 of the hydrangeas left over and 7 succulents!

It was a lovely dinner with traditional Armenian faire of lamb shish kebob, rice pilaf, grape leaf dolma, and root vegetables.

It was extra special this year with the newlyweds at the table!
Our family is definitely growing.
So far, I have enough plates for everyone!

0 A Candlelight Christmas Eve


Christmas Eve is always the "quiet before the storm."
A time to just relax after all the preparations for Christmas Day.

I like to play Christmas music and light every candle in the house!

Just sit back and enjoy all the decorations. Reflect....

Smell the scented candles and pies baking...

And enjoy a glass of wine...

While creating the tablescape, last minute with flowers and decor left over from the wedding!

Stay tuned for the final reveal!

Merry Christmas from the Arabian Family!
Wishing you a wonderful, happy day with your family!
