Sea Santa Table

Pat found a great Santa recently at Tuesday Morning for our second day of  "Santa Tablescape Extravaganza." Dressed in non-traditional yellow rain gear, Santa brightens any Christmas table - especially if you are eating alone.

Not your typical Christmas table.......

Flatware is Noritake "Primastone" in Cobalt blue

The napkin ring is balsam wood from Michael's that was spray painted black to match Santa's anchor and hot glued to a bright yellow PVC pipe round that was also spray painted.

Pat used a "Cobalt" Fiesta(ware) luncheon plate for the first layer of the place setting

Next layer is a simple "Basic White" dinner plate from Food Network

One of Pat's favorite tricks is to use two chargers. This one is an inexpensive lacquer charger spray painted yellow.

The nautical rope-like metal charger is from Pier 1 two years ago

This is probably my favorite glass of all time: Yellow "Rio" by Dansk

I really like this Santa

Of course, the tree has to reflect the color combination: white, blue and yellow
