I had a couple of friends over for a morning coffee/tea -- very informal! It was fun to get out these Debbie Mumm plates and mugs that I use just at Christmas. I bought them several years ago at Target.
There are four different snowmen scenes.
My fixation with plaid this Christmas called for a new tablecloth. I have had my eye on this flannel at JoAnn's for awhile. It is not the usual inexpensive flannel on the racks, but a nice quality. There are some wonderful plaid and houndstooth patterns/colors and sells for $10 a yard; but it has been on sale a couple of times this Fall. I paid $5 a yard for this red plaid.
The flannel washes and dries well, plus it fringes beautifully.
They also had this glen plaid that I used to make a pad for my Jim Shore Santa and sheep.
BTW, that's a great apple and pecan cake we enjoyed with our coffee/tea and conversation. And if that wasn't enough, we then went to our local French restaurant for lunch. It's nice getting older - we get to eat dessert first!
I'm celebrating the season at the following parties. Check them out for a plethora of inspiration.

Cute plates! The tartan is beautiful.
I love the plaid table cloth and how it works with the dishes.
Hi Sally,
This is my first time to visit you.
Enjoyed my visit. I love pretty plaids as well, this one is really pretty and looks great with your snowmen. Very cute plates, and glad you had fun with your friends eating goodies, then going to lunch, can't beat that!
Congratulations on being married 53 years, I love hearing that.........

November. It is a wonderful thing to see folks that have been married for such a long time. Instills hope, in our culture today.
May you have a very Merry Christmas, Blessings, Nellie
Loving all things plaid this Christmas, don't know why since I never had. Your tartan is the perfect backdrop to you terrific snowmen plates, et. al. Thanks for posting. ~CJ
Seriously...you ladies who are able to sew get my vote every time! You are able to create such beautiful things at the drop of a hat! Very nice casual Christmas table that, I am sure, offered "comfort and joy" as the season is touted to do! Have a wonderful day!
I love the red plaid tablecloth. The fring is pretty and I am glad to know it is easy to make the edging. A trip to Joann's in September was for fall and Halloween fabric but I missed the beautiful plaid. The Snowmen china is wonderful with the plaid. One of my favorite restaurants is Le Madelaine and of course their desserts are so good. Your idea of desserts first is great! Thanks for sharing your post. Merry Christmas and Happy Tablescaping!
