It is Tablescape Tuesday again hosted by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch. Please check out her blog for a list of participants in this wonderful event!!
For Christmas I am setting my table using my Johnson Brothers Old Britain Castles transferware with the addition of the Johnson Brothers Christmas Tree plates.
The glassware is a couple of patterns of depression era pink that belonged to my Grandmother.
For a centerpiece, I'm using my cheese domes to hold some antique ornaments on a bed of gold tinsel. Also, I've set about some of the pieces from our Fontanini Nativity Set.
The silverware is my Great Grandmother's monogrammed sterling.
This vintage gold tree topper is standing in an antique bud vase coupled with hand-me-down crystal candle holders
Thanks for stopping by,
Sally

Hi Sally! Oh, how beautiful your table is! I have those same dishes - the Old Britian Castles! I just love them. It's lovely how you've mixed the two sets! Love the pink depression glass too! How funny, I have a Fontanini nativity set too! Aren't they beautiful?
You've set a beautiful table, my friend,

What a perfect Christmas table this is! How I wish I could copy it. I especially like using the nativity for the centerpiece.

Hi Sally :)
Beautiful tablescape!! Those dishes are wonderful.
I loved your tree post!! How special that you still have the first one :)
hugs,

I love those dishes! I have had my eye on them...and the blue castles (I am a blue/white addict).... very pretty table! I had my first Tablescape Tuesday today!
Really like the way you set the Holy Family on a different material. Makes them seem as special as they truly are.
Your Great Grandmother displayed uncanny wisdom in picking a silver pattern that will endure for generations yet to come. It's simplicity means, to me at least, that it will never go out of style.
When I saw that plate on your header, I fell in love with it, but now I see that you have a whole set of it! They are so pretty. Your tablescape is beautiful! laurie
This is absolutely beautiful Sally!
I love your dishes and how you arranged it all. The use of the domes is wonderful! Your nativity is so lovely.
I know you enjoy all of these treasures....oh! I tagged YOU!! But you know, if the otherSally wants to do it, she is so welcome to do it!! If you don't want to do it, that is okay too! *grin*
Love,
Sue
