...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:)
