CHRISTMAS TABLE SETTING #2

Fellow SmugMugger Karen (aka kjakes1) suggested red and gold for our Christmas table setting in the kitchen. Although I chose another color scheme, I was up to the challenge of creating a table setting in her suggested color scheme. So, voila!

ORNAMENTS, ORNAMENTS, and ORNAMENTS - OH MY!

I love COLORS and these ornaments came packaged in a box at Wal Mart; so, I decided to purchase and add them to this bowl that sits on a glass table in our foyer.

"PURPLE REIGNS" Theme

"You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love."  ~ Henry Drummond.   

The day after Thanksgiving ........ which leads us right into the Christmas holiday! 'Tis the season. Here's how I spent Black Friday:  getting ready for the holidays. There's nothing I need badly enough to endure the crowds shopping the day after Thanksgiving:).

OK - here she is - our December (Christmas) table setting. Of the many suggestions on table setting colors from friends, a colleague, SmugMuggers (Judy, Nelli, and Karen), and even children, I decided to go with...........drum roll, please........

Nelli's and my colleague's (you know who you are) combined suggested colors of purple, lime green, black, and silver! It's often said that "Great minds think alike." Judy and Karen, thanks and stay tuned; your suggestions will be used in forthcoming table settings. 

 "Why go for the same old when you can go for the bold?" Prior to deciding to decorate the table yesterday evening, I remained indecisive between the selected colors and red, silver, and lime green. With the exception of the ornaments, the sticks in the glass vase, and bowls, all other accessories were used in my August table setting. It took me approximately an hour and a half - mixing, matching, changing, and rearranging to pull this table together; and boy was I tired afterwards........whew! 

As a reminder, ALL TableScapes are my original designs and themes; you know what that means. View additional photos of this table setting as well as the complete gallery of my table settings here: http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/11014855_M5W6FW#!i=2231434219&k=D2BCkws

TGIF!!
