This table was inspired by my favorite
cake plate, wait until tomorrow’s post about how that plate came to live at my
home. As you know, I have put a request that we have an old fashioned Sunday
dinner at my home.
For me, food is love. I want to make
those that I love feel special and my Sunday dinners and my tables need to
reflect the love I feel for those people.
For this table, I thought we would
have dinner in my kitchen. I have the cutest kitchen decorations… candy, candy
cane inspired decorations along with this fun sandwich platter, topped with these snowman mugs, ready for hot chocolate. I will show you the rest of the kitchen next week.
As someone who
loves to bake, what better theme for a kitchen than a sugar coated red and
green kitchen.
It all started with this cake plate. I mean look how cute her feet are!!!
For the table, I decided that red and
white polka dots would be perfect. From the tablecloth and napkins
To the plates.
Topped with the Santa plate. His
blushing cheeks make this dish so sweet.
Polka dots can make any table more fun
and less formal.
Kate Spade flatware with the tiniest
ruffle along the edge continue the fun theme.
I found these cute candy vases and
decided to set not one arrangement but three.
Although I am making Sunday dinner,
how cute would this table be for a cookie party for the kids.

ReplyDeleteHi Cynthia,
ReplyDeletewhat a darling tablescape, love all those polkadots. Very festive and fun

Such fun!
All very very cute!
Thanks for stopping by and for your kind comments,
Merry Christmas

I gotta tell you, Cynthia...food is love to me, too! I try my best to stuff my loved ones with good cooking at every turn (although these days, of course, I'm using things like I Can't Believe It's Not Butter and Truvia!). I just want them to know that I care enough to make the very best for them. You obviously have that same trait, and you presented everything beautifully. I love the polka dots and candy canes!!! The little snowman mugs are just too cute for words! Who wouldn't want to sip hot chocholate out of one of those!??!!! Everything looks wonderful! I wish you and your family the very merriest Christmas.
