I'm going to show you my Christmasing in the dining room today!
and added a few solid colored Christmas balls.
three silverplated pieces and Christmas with them.
I poked down some red Christmas balls into each one...
a hugmungous one, a medium one and a little one.
Christmas!
I also wired a few red Christmas balls together and added them to the garland.
Just couldn't leave it alone so I put a little wired ribbon in it.
Christmas!
I wish my china cabinet had a flat top so I could poke stuff all over it but alas it has a bonnet top and I can't really place anything on it except on the ends!
Christmas!
So my china cabinets contents get dumped, dusted and cleaned. Mr. Precious love this.
I put in my dishes by Spode called "Trade Winds".
They have been discontinued for many years.
The dishes are certainly not Christmasy but I like them
and the accent color is kinda a brick red, thought that would work.
I do have some dark red pieces so I poked them in there too.
I had to open the doors for you so you could see inside.
Christmas!

I also poked in a couple of Christmas ornies.
Christmas!
also tied up the little knives of the same pattern.
Christmas!
Christmas!
I just love Christmasing, don't you?
I'm joining Our Dear Kim at Southern Savvy Style for her Boring to Better Party.

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go;
Take a look in the five and ten glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in ev'ry store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door.
A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben;
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen;
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go;
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well,
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas;
Soon the bells will start,
And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart.

Your table centerpiece is lovely, as is the garland on your sideboard.

ReplyDeleteSheila,
ReplyDeleteYour dining room is so lovely. Of course you can probably guess that I love the plates on the wall and too, love Spode Tradewinds. It's hard to find...and pricey when it is found. You don't see many full collections of it anymore so it was a treat for me to see all of yours displayed so nicely. I think it looks great! I also love the crochet tablecloth on the table. Gorgeous!
Nancy
You certainly dressed up your dining room for Christmas beautifully, Sheila. I just love looking at it...Christine

Good morning sheila, your dining is 'simply' beautiful. Elegant sums it up in one word. I love your vintage furniture too. My taste completely. I gave my vintage bedroom set to our daughter and the highboy is the thing I miss the most. Yours looks so nice.
ReplyDeleteI going to make your cutout cookie recipe this morning. Icing cookies are so much fun and your recipe is so good.
Happy decorating for the holidays to you my dear friend.
Love, Jeanne
Your home is always so warm and inviting. I love your touches in the hutch. Thank you for visiting the table in red, it means a lot..hugs ~lynne~
ReplyDeleteShelia,
ReplyDeleteYou have a pretty dining room. I love what you did with the silver champagne buckets and the ornaments. That Spode Tradewinds is really pretty. Lennox came out with a Colonial Tradewinds that I love, but it is way expensive. I love anything with a ship on it. Have a Merry Christmas!
Sherry
Sheila, you have such beautiful furniture pieces! Your Spode dish set looks perfect with the Christmas decorations. And, yes, sometimes simple is best!
ReplyDeleteSo many cozy touches, Sheila! Love the lace tablecloth and the plates on the wall! Jacqueline
ReplyDeleteHad to come back because I noticed I've had your name wrong all this time! You're one of a kind, aren't you Shelia! J.
ReplyDeleteHi Sheila,
ReplyDeleteLove your Christmasing! I think your Spode dishes are wonderful and very Christmasy. They go with the tune I saw three ships. Very fun!
Valerie
Just noticed the post by Cabin and Cottage and realized I too have been spelling your name wrong! Please forgive!
ReplyDeleteValerie
Oh Shelia, too, too pretty! What a grand dining room and all that gorgeous furniture you have! You have made it so very christmasy and beautiful! Come on over, you will need a sled, skis or ice skates to get here!
ReplyDeleteHi Shelia,
ReplyDeleteI really love those Spode plates. I have never seen them before. I think they go great for the holidays since they are red. They look beautiful in the hutch. I hope you have a blessed holiday,
Carey
