Poinsettias and Cardinals

The Breakfast room is set up for the Grandchildren when they visit Christmas Eve.
I chose the red Cardinal salad plates, paired with the poinsettia dinner plates.
When I have some extra time, I need to learn how to take better pictures.




The holly leaves glasses I found at the Discovery Shop.
Green flatware is from Ross.

Napkins are from Pier 1.  The napkin ring, I found at Walgreens.

This eat, drink and be merry glass is from the dollar store, along with the poinsettia  dinner plates. They are real glass.

Here's one of our trees all decked out in Gold and bronze.


Well, just sharing some Christmas decor. I hope each and everyone is enjoying this holiday season.
Thank you being a follower and leaving your sweet comments.

  4. Hi Linda! Your pictures turned out better than you think! Everything is lovely! So Christmasy! And I love the blog wallpaper and snowflakes! I like the way you incorporated dollar tree finds, since the children will be eating there. I bet they feel special when they eat at your table and visit your home! Merry Christmas! Blessings from Bama!

  13. Hi Linda-
    What a sweet table for your little darlins! I should think they'd feel very special sitting there! Love the plates and glasses. I love the jingle bells poinsettia you got! I had one last year and just loved it. Very festive!
    Your gold and bronze tree is beautiful- love the topper train outside the window on the arbor?
    Your vignette with the polar bears, angels and rendeer is really nice.
    Merry Christmas to you my friend!

  17. This setting will make them feel real special and loved.
    I never comiserated thinking my kids were too young to enjoy what adults were having... barring the natural cautions they all enjoyed the same as we did. Tis is the Season to make them feel so "grown-up" and Special, isn't it?
    Thank you for sharing so much Beauty! I've already said you in US have the most amazing stores with amazing stuff but what you do with them goes beyond having... is BEING.
    A Blessed and Sweet Christmas to you and your loved ones (doggies included).
    Love,
    Teresa

  21. Wow, Linda! You and I were both had similar sugarplums dancing in our heads when we thought up our trees this year!!! I love the gold and bronze combination...it looks so rich! You did a fabulous job on yours with the mesh ribbon and COOL topper! I have been on a buying hiatus, so I didn't get to buy any of those cool Christmas "Eat, Drink & Be Merry" glasses from Dollar Tree. They're pretty slick! The red, white & green are perfect with your table!!!!!! Great napkin and napkin ring combo!!! I've never heard of the Discovery Shop. They must have really cool stuff there! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas Eve with your Grandchildren and a fantastic Christmas week!!!!!!!!!!
