Table Setting Ideas

This is just a simple idea using table runners, simple Christmas silver and gold decorations in a crystal bowl, candles, greenery and berries for a Christmas Breakfast table setting.  I mixed silver and gold so I can enjoy using some of the beautiful things I have.

This is another set of Winter dishes I have.  I decided to set everything with Snowmen using burgundy, blues, and greens.  I will use this for Christmas time and thru January.  There are two different patterns of dishes used with this but they blend together. If I decide not to use the cup and saucers that match the plates, I have mugs to use that match the bread/dessert plates.  

Fall Table

Recently, we celebrated my Moms 78th birthday.  I prepared a nice homemade dinner and wanted the dinner table to be festive and colorful for the season.
Since her birthday is in the fall, I used the simple fall decorations I already had, a round, gold Tiara platter that I've had for many years, a 45" square of a fall print and table cloth. I divided out the sections between each corner of the square and tucked the ends up under the edge of the plate to make the pattern of the petals.  The platter has stems of fruit you can purchase at a craft store, nuts, acorns, and even some napkin rings made like pumpkins and scarecrows.
I think the table turned out very nice.  I enjoy decorating and I'm trying to decide how I want to do the table for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
