Christopher Radko 2010

Ok...I promised to keep the same centerpiece and just add a few different elements, and I stuck to it! My goal has been to keep the rustic, natural elements of the greenery, grape vine and berries and mix them with the finer elements of the china, flatware and glassware.

I exchanged the rattan chargers for silver, and replaced the "Winter Wonderland" dinnerware with the Christopher Radko "Holiday Celebrations" in the Christmas Tree pattern. This is my favorite of the Christmas tree patterns by far. I kept the April Cornell "Poet Jacquard" napkin in forest green and the Noritake "Perspective" ruby glassware. I also kept the Mikasa "Italian Countryside" flatware.

Then I tried a different napkin ring...

Now we could go outside...

Maybe not today!

With the silver napkin rings... 

With bamboo napkin rings... 

We have enjoyed several family meals here as we have been here for three days enjoying the snow and extreme cold! I have exchanged the green napkins for red, and those worked just as nicely. I do exchange the basket of greenery for the candle holder on the breakfast bar when we eat so we can all talk more freely.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I'll be joining Susan at "Between Naps on the Porch" for "Tablescape Thursday" so please go by there and see beautiful tables!

Enjoy the season and remember what all the celebration is about...Christ.
