With all the quarantines
and distancing orders . . .
we can still set pretty tables, and drive through
neighborhoods and enjoy the bright
and happy cheer of Christmas. This was my favorite tree on our drive last evening. My sister would like to do something similar next year, and I told her we can start in October :-)
Blogging has introduced me to a wonderful community of peers, and we learn so much from one another. I'm a New York girl decorating with MacKenzie-Childs one season at a time! I enjoy hiking, kayaking, cross country skiing and snowshoeing in the Adirondack Mountains (thus Mountain Breaths). I live in Upstate NY with my supportive husband and have three adult sons.
What a lovely table and that lit tree is amazing!
ReplyDeleteVery fun! Tell Joe he did well. In fact, all of the interpretations are quite creative!
ReplyDeleteThank you Rita, I told Joe!
DeleteVery creative!!!Love those plates Geena!!
ReplyDeleteI had fun! Love, Geena :-)
DeleteVery creative, Debbie (and Joe!) I'm forwarding your post to my niece now that she has the plates. I also delivered my sets of nutcracker plates w/ napkins to her yesterday. I know she will have fun creating tables and hosting parties. She and her young friends love to do just that. As soon as it is safe again, let the parties begin!
ReplyDeleteI know your niece will have fun creating tables and hosting parties just like we do! Let the parties begin as soon as it's safe.
DeleteHow clever you were with the theme, Debbie, and Joe did great, too! Ooooh and that tree! That certainly is a magical sight to behold. I’ll look forward to seeing your sister’s creation, with your help, next year! 🎄❤️🎄
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling table, so clever too Deb. I am sure this was fun to put together. I'm glad you see the positive this year, not what we can't do, bravo! Your table and dining room look so festive. Good to enjoy the season, whatever we are doing (same here).
ReplyDeleteColor me j-e-a-l-u-o-s!!!!!!!!! You thought of EVERYTHING! Hats off to your husband for the Lord a'Leaping coup! The ladies' dancing shoes...VERY clever! And the Dove bar!!!!!! But the most ingenious of all: the piping!!!!!!!!! NEVER in my life would I have thought of that!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your can do attitude toward this whole thing! I've adopted it, too. I have a lot to catch up on anyway, and they say absence makes the heart grow fonder. I know I will never again take for granted eating French fries HOT AT THE RESTAURANT again!!! I bought a whole wardrobe (about 30) of masks to go with little outfits for when I have to venture out, and that makes it more palatable. (My husband has to wear a surgical mask daily with patients, so I now have a taste of his world!) I look forward to the day when we can set our lower faces free and eat out again, but until that time arrives...making the best of what the good Lord provides!
This is an AMAZING tablescape, and I bow to your creativity!
Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!
Such a cute idea Deb!! What a fabulous fun party this will be next year, I just love this idea!!

Oh wow, this table is stunning ! I love each plate of your stack... beautiful ! You are very creative and talented my friend.
ReplyDeleteI have looked at many positive things that came with this very "unusual" year. I sometimes think I've been in the "Twilight Zone." My husband and I were treated with COVID-19 back in June and part of July. We came out fine by the Grace of God.

What a creative table and Joe came up with some great ideas! Can't wait to see what your guests come up with next year :) Merry Christmas to you and Joe, Debbie! ♥
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Debbie. The plates are such a Collector item. I love how you have celebrated the twelve days of Christmas. Positive attitudes go a long way. Wishing you and Joe a very Merry Christmas. 😘
ReplyDeleteI've seen a lot of positive things come with this "extremely unusual" year. I sometimes think I've been in the "twilight zone". Deb such a beautiful idea !! What a wonderful party this will be next year, I just like the idea. I wish you could approach this whole thing! I have adopted it too. I have a lot to catch up with anyway, and they say that absence makes the heart more loving. I'm sure it was fun together. I'm glad you see positive this year, not something we can't do, Bravo! Your dining room and dining room look very festive.
