Christmas Mail Table for One

Santa can use all the help he can get at Christmas to get toys to all the boys and girls.....

Dinnerware is from Pier 1 several years ago

Pat used simple flatware - pattern is "Classic Bead" by Reed & Barton

Since the red charger is extra larger, Pat used a "White" Fiesta(ware) chop plate as an additional charger

Glassware is from the Dollar Tree

We pull out these very old napkin rings every once in a while - from our Mother's collection. Yes, the paint is gone in spots and it is looking a little ragged, but it has many memories.....

Even Santa relies on Amazon and eBay......

Christmas Table

With Christmas just around the corner, it's time to set the table using my favorite centerpiece - Santa. Since we have been collecting them for years, we have dozens of Santas to choose from - so Pat just took the closest one on the shelf and used it....

Flatware is gold satin "Kyoto" by Holister

The napkin ring is a simple Christmas pick from Michael's. Pat chose this one because the bird is green and red

The dinner plate and matching bread and butter plate are "Evergreen" Fiesta(ware)

Pat used a "White" Fiesta(ware) chop plate as a charger

The wool flannel place mat was a gift from a friend who lives in England - she bought it during one of her trips to Scotland

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without Santa's elves - this one is Clifford. Look at that face! So sweet. He's wearing a plaid vest to coordinate with Santa's coat.
