Happy winter solstice! Today's tablescape is what I have had set in the dining room on display.
The holly china was a gift from my parents the second year I was married. I love the pattern and versatility and have used them countless times over the years! The sprigs of holly in the centerpiece (made by a friend) work well with the table.
It seems especially appropriate that something they gifted me is featured today because it's my parents' wedding anniversary. They enjoyed 62 years together before my dad passed away.
Tucked in the corner is our little golden tree which is decorated with my maternal grandparents' ornaments. The antique hutch is also ready for Christmas.
This gorgeous della robbia wreath hanging on the mirror of the hutch belonged to my paternal grandmother, who received it from my family when I was a young girl.
Vintage candles from my childhood and some very special china pieces fit perfectly on the shelves.
I hope your first official day of winter was
a holly jolly one!
