Tuesday Tablescape...and the Decorated Dining Room

I have been Christmas decorating and since the dining room is finished, I decided to share it as part of today's tablescape.





These dishes were a Craigslist find about 10 years ago. The simple pattern of pinecone, holly and Christmas rose looks good with my overall theme of natural elements.












When I was a little girl, my family gave my grandmother this Della Robbia wreath. After she passed away, it made its way back to us and my parents gave it to me. I have used it each and every year since I obtained it and it remains a meaningful piece of Christmas decor. 
My pinecone-filled jar and my cardinal teapot are anchor pieces on our antique hutch.

I am not decorating as many trees this year as I typically do and so I had decided that one of the rooms to go without this year would be the dining room. Due to the challenges of 2020, we will not be entertaining this year and so I reasoned that without dinner parties, this room would not need one. When I completed the room, the corner where we usually have a pencil tree looked so plain and empty. So, on an impulse, I grabbed our 5 foot gold tinsel and tucked it in place. Cardinal ribbon and woodland ornaments are gracing it.








Stay tuned tomorrow to see more Christmas decorations!
