I'm joining Susan for her Tablescape Thursdays. It's a great place to be inspired! Be sure to check it out!
My first table was built around one of my nativity sets. It was purchased by my parents a long time ago when they traveled to Bethlehem. It is made of olive wood and hand carved.
It's a very simple table...on purpose.
...no fanfare, no pizzazz...
...just focusing on the real meaning of Christmas.
Luke records the miracle in chapter 2.
My second table is in my breakfast room. It's fun and colorful with a lot of red!
The sun is out today...it's a warm 70 degrees! Not to fret though, we're getting a cold front and by Christmas Eve it's to be 35 degrees! Brrr...
There are nutcrackers of all sizes standing guard.
Gift tags from Hobby Lobby and ornaments from TJMaxx add a bit of color to the Lenox plates and chargers.
As the sun set, the clouds rolled in and the rain began...cooler weather is on its way!
Thanks so much for visiting
and
Merry Christmas!
Awesome tablescapes you have here...love all the touches of gold. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

I love the understated table. What elegance for such an important statement. I am also very fond of the Nutcracker theme. You did a lovely job! Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI love the nativity on the table. What a great idea? I am always amazed at all of the creative people there are in this world. Thanks for the message.
ReplyDeleteI love your first table -- the real meaning of Christmas. The other is fun!
ReplyDeleteThe camel caught my eye. I have a very similar nativity set from the Holy Lands. My mother brought it back to me after a church group trip in 1974. Love the nutcrackers, also. Very pretty.

ReplyDeleteI love your first table. Simply stunning. Very elegant as well. I like the fact that it's not your typical tablescape~it really stands out. There is great beauty in it's simplicity.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun table with all of the nutcrackers. I imagine there is a story behind each one.
Both tablescapes are wonderful but the first is so special. I really like how you kept it simple and it speaks for itself. The candleholders with the white tapers are perfect with it.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!

ReplyDeleteJust passing by quickly before I start my own very busy day, but I just had take time to tell you how I LOVED your tablescapes! Love your Nativity setting as we remember the true reason for the season, but I have to say I enjoy the fun and magic of the Nutcracker theme too! Beautiful job you did with BOTH! Merry Christmas to you and yours! ~tina
