I have a collection of Nutcrackers that are always fun to use around
Christmas. Some of these are my inspiration for this table.
I found the Nutcrackers plates and glasses at World Market. I added the tall red and white striped cups from the dollar Tree.
The Santa chair covers are also from the Dollar Tree.
The small Nutcrackers came in a set of 6 at Ross. I usually put them in as name cards. The center crocheted red, white and green doily, My Mother made for me.
I surrounded a small tree with 4 Nutcrackers. I tried to match the colors to the plates and glasses. The flatware I purchased at Horchows on sale.
The red and white round striped placemats are from K-mart.
The chandy has to be dressed too!
Oops, I forgot to add one plate under one of the nutcrackers plates.
Would you have noticed? LOL
I added little nutcrackers candies ...stuck in the napkin ring.
I actually used some hair accessories for some napkin rings.
they are red and green hair bands with bells. I think they make great napkin rings.
Enjoy this very colorful party. It all goes perfect in our red Breakfast room. Thanks again for visiting.....Merry Christmas!
Here's my little family....My hubby, our doggies...all girls.
Sasha, Lacy and Chloe.
How do you like my Leopard Jammies? My hubby bought them for me. They are a one-piece, even with feet....The feet has kitten faces on them. He even bought me the matching Santa hat.
I blend in with the sectional....LOL
Make sure to stay warm!

ReplyDeleteThose nutcrackers look like they'd take on the toughest nut and not flinch and inch!
ReplyDeleteSOMETHING RED
Something cherry, something blue,
Something scarlet just for you;
Something blazing as the sun,
Something red when day is done.

HI! We haven't seen each other lately I think, but I am so glad you stopped by. I adore your leopard PJs and your nutcracker plates are too cute for words. I was too lazy to get mine out this year. Next year for sure.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!

I loved the jammies, placemats, nutcracker plates, chair covers...it's all so Christmasy!!
ReplyDeleteYou really know how to decorate for Christmas. It is so festive and fun. I loved your swags in the dining area. And your table is absolutely charming. Your peppermint twist glasses just are the cherry on top. So glad I stopped by. Saw you on Seasonal Sunday and it beckoned me here. I'm a new blogger of a month and am having the time of my life finding all you amazing talented women.
ReplyDeleteLove your jammies, I am a leopard print lover too! Happy you are following me!
ReplyDeleteLove it all!
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking to Potpourri Friday! May you have a Merry Christmas and the Happiest of Holidays!
I love you nutcracker theme. That was going to be mytheme for next year since my 3yo has fascination with them, I got the soup bowls from World Market, but never saw the plates :0( Not I problem I'll borrow them from you!!!! just beautiful. Thanks you for the inspiration!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhere did he find the PJ's???? I really want some of them!!!!! XO
ReplyDeleteCute idea for the chair cover! I can tell you like to have fun! Love that!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! You're just the cutest one! I love your sweet tablescape with all of the nutcrackers! Sending prayers to you to feel better.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia :)
I remember this one. Still love the swirly glasses! I like the nutcracker centerpiece and the nutcracker plates. I'm glad you brought it back. It's nice to revisit some of these pretty tablescapes! Hope you're feeling stronger soon! 😊
ReplyDeleteYour decorations are lovely and the table is so cute! I just love your lounging outfit. Hope they get your hormones straighten up so you can enjoy the season, Merry Christmas, Linda.
ReplyDeleteLove those jammies!! You look very snuggly :) The table is so festive Linda. I like the way you dressed up the chairs and the nut crackers are so cute. I hope you feel better by the time you read this.. As a 54 yr old :( I can relate to the hormone thing and with everything you've been through I can imagine how challenging it must be to keep things balanced.
ReplyDeleteYou are just too cute. Your nutcracker table is darling and I love all your sweet accessories...but I love your pjs even more! I am hoping that they can get your hormones regulated so that you are not so tired. Feeling fatigued all the time is a terrible feeling. I am saying a prayer for you and hope that the New Year brings you renewed good health, Linda. God bless ya, sweet lady! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI love your party table! I hope you have energy soon and feel better in the new year. xoxo
ReplyDeleteMy beautiful friend!
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say but that I'm terribly late, YOUR HOME IS FABULOUS, and the tablewear and Santa chair covers....OH MY! YES!
You look awesome. I am in tears just knowing that you are snuggled up with your beautiful husband who loves you so....BIG WISHES FOR HAPPINESS AND LOVE! Anita
So sorry you're feeling so drained. I understand, though, and hope you can get back on an even keel soon. I'm STILL in love with those nutcracker plates! :-) Merry Christmas, Linda! Take good care!
ReplyDeleteI am terribly sorry you don't feel well. We haven't been too red hot here either. I hate that during Christmas! Hoping to get better. Hubby had emergency kidney stone surgery and I was so sick I couldn't even drive him. We are on the mend but slowly. Reserve your energy. You were wise to repost and it is lovely again! Those plates are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLinda dear! Good evening! Thank you for your visit! People like you are so kind to come around during this very busy time of preparations! We are flying out of chilly Minneapolis to California to visit family, and it's around 70 degrees out there as opposed to our below zero temps!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas sweet friend! Anita
I love that red butterfly above your Christmas tree!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen those cute chair covers like that at our Dollar Tree. Will have to go look again.
Love your jammies!
Omigosh it's so Christmassy!!! And I'm loving the dogs. Nothing makes me happier than to see a pile of schnauzers. I just bought myself jammies like you're wearing...only they have Mickey Mouse on them. They're still in the package...wasn't sure if I was brave enough to wear them. You've given me strength. My husband, however, is going to think I've lost my mind.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!!
