Spreading Christmas Cheer Table

Santa's helpers are spreading Christmas cheer this year....
Another one of my collections, I have been acquiring these darling "Elves Themselves" for three years now - I found one at the Cancer Society's Discovery Shop three years ago for $10 and just had to have it......turned out to be a pretty expensive $10 since I couldn't stop with just one and never found another for that price.....

Pat pulled out four of the "Elves" from the curio that she thought went together and set this week's table

Flatware is "Treble Clef" (yes, musical theme flatware...) by Gourmet Settings

The luncheon plate is actually a "Scarlett" Fiesta(ware) buffet plate by Homer Laughlin

The dinner plate is an odd but versatile tan/brown - Pat uses it frequently because it blends well. The plate is "Martillo Almond" from Pier 1.

For a charger, Pat used a Fiesta(ware) "Sage" Chop Plate by Homer Laughlin

Here are four of Santa's elves spreading Christmas cheer (and one elf really enjoying it...)


This little guy's name is Vince. He's thoroughly enjoying the music

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......
