...an angel at my christmas table

...hello dear hearts!

soon,

it will be christmas eve

this week,

 i have been preparing a most elegant table,

for my little family's christmas week...

this angel resides at our table this year...

i can almost hear her sing:

glor-ooor-ia

inexelcious-dao...

see her tiny crystal crown?!

and her beautiful silver glittered wings??

she was a christmas gift from my dear mia...

the color of her skirt

matched my chair bows...

~ serendipity ~

she was meant to be here!

beautiful paperwhites and white tulips in bloom...

a "snowflake" themed table

full of delights...

it is my most favorite table

i have put together at christmas time...

ever!

i adore the crochet snowflake tablecloth

given to me long ago from my mom...

all of my pretties have been lovingly placed

at each individual place setting...

using the best of what i have

for this most joyous time of year

these are my favorite bavarian dishes

with ruffled, silver edges...

white linen napkins with a rose pattern

and for each place setting ~

i made one of these mary plaques

and dusted them with clear glass glitter...

this year,

my daughter took a "woods" class

and made me a tool box!

i painted it with my annie sloan paint

and added a stenciled wreath to each side

then i planted my flower bulbs in it...

she received an A+ for this project

from her teacher,

and a giant hug from me:)

a treasure for years to come...

lovely silk wrapped candles

and the most loveliest shade of blue crystal glasses

for a cup of christmas cheer!

and these beautifully etched glasses

for sparkling water...

i sprinkled the entire table with these diamond gems

for even more glam!

(you know how i adore more sparkle!)

and even adorned our chairs

with these fabulous bows...

 also wrapping white felt snowflake garlands

around the tops...

and added a twinkling white star...

i wanted luxury,

so each chair has a faux fur pillow

added to them...

i found them at target

and removed 2/3rds of their stuffing

now they are "just right"

LOL!!

I LOVE THEM!!!

 crochet snowflakes dangle from the chandelier...

and look lovely ~

day

or

night!

as well as at the slider door windows...

this snowflake bunting flutters all around

when the heater turns on

~ magical ~

i have so enjoyed putting this table together

for my beloveds this year

and anticipate the moments we create together

all weekend long,

as we celebrate the birth of our Lord...

Happy Birthday Jesus!!

oh!

what a celebration it will be:)
