Christmas and Music Table For One

Pat wanted to use Lenox "Essex Maroon" (1938-1978) this week so she went looking for a Santa in our collection that would go with it. She found one that she liked and set the table with a somewhat unusual Christmas theme.

Pat used two chargers - she felt the place setting was "lost" sitting directly on the large maroon lacquer one

Although we do not know the name of this pattern, we use it a lot because it goes well with most dinnerware patterns

Glassware is from Pier 1 several years ago

The little wooden piano music box is somewhat of a family heirloom - our Dad bought it for his mother before WWII.

Where it came from:
Maroon Lacquer Charger - inexpensive charger from Michael's spray painted with maroon plastic adhesive spray paint
Gold Charger - from the Discovery Shop (our local Cancer Society's thrift store)
Dinnerware - "Essex Maroon" by Lenox from Replacements.com
Gold Flatware - pattern unknown from eBay
Glassware - from Pier 1 several years ago
Napkin Ring - from Bed, Bath, and Beyond (still available)
Christmas Tree, Ornaments, and Garland - from Michael's
