It's here! Kathleen's White Christmas party. Come and join us at http://www.cuisinekathleen.com/. She is also giving a giveaway so make sure you visit her and sign up for it.
I am also linking with another Kathleen's White Wednesday at http://fadedcharmcottage.blogspot.com/
White must be all Kathleen's favorite color!
and Susan's Tablescape Thursday at http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/
My color theme for today is white and silver.....in the formal dining room.
Below is the view looking into the foyer. You can see the living room with the Christmas tree from here too.
I am using a crocheted tablecloth I bought from Grand Cayman. This is the view from the foyer entry into the dining room.
Dinnerware is oval "Baroque" I got from Neiman Marcus. The flatware is silver plated also in "Baroque" pattern.
The larger stemware below is by Waterford, can't remember the pattern name but the smaller stems with white snowflakes are $1 each from the dollar store.
I used white reindeers as a centerpiece and I surrounded them with candles, a cloche with silver orbs and a silver bowl filled with snowflakes and white and silver mercury balls. This is the back view of the reindeers and this is looking into the kitchen.
and this is the front view.
A closer view of the cloche.
and a closer view of the mercury balls. They are very heavy and I did not want to hang them on the tree because they pull the branch down.
I filled the little silver jelly server with small silver balls.
I spread snowflakes with inspiring words on them: "Wish, Love, Dream"
John and I just bought the silver salt cellars and napkin rings a few days ago. We received an invitation to a Christmas open house at an antique shop downtown and food was served, so we went. Everything was discounted and the owner gave us a very good deal on these sets. There were 6 napkin rings (very heavy) and 6 salt cellars with 3 spoons. And they came in pretty leather boxes, old but still pretty.
I will end with this. Sorry, Kathleen but I just had to show this. It is not white but it's in the dining room and it's my peacock feather tree.
Thanks so much for stopping by and thanks to the hostesses for these events. Now, I am off to check out their blogs. I hope you do too!

Beautiful...a well-conceived mix of traditional and contemporary elements to achieve a lovely cohesive look. The silver salt cellars are wonderful, and I love the crochet tablecloth. Thank you for sharing yet another marvelous design. Cherry Kay
Christine, Your table setting is breathtaking! It is fit for a king and you of course the queen. I am running so far behind I couldn't get a tablescape together. I am so late getting my reading done. I am so glad I got a chance to see this beautiful and I so glad you showed us the Peacock feather tree. It is gorgeous. Merry Christmas, Ginger
What a beautiful crocheted tablecloth, Christine! I like using something so totally different. All your whites look spectacular- the mixing of your fine crystal with the $ Store glasses is fun and it looks good! I ♥ your peacock feather tree, BTW. hmmmmm... I need to post my tree with all the feathers and peacocks in it. :-) Hope you have a very blessed holiday. Merry Christmas! Sue
