Hello and welcome to week #2 of Christmas Tidings! We’re each featuring a Winterberry Christmas Tablescape and to top things off we also have a giveaway. Winterberry by Pfaltzgraff is a timeless collection of Christmas china that fits into any decor and any budget. Available at Macy’s, it’s easy to start with just a few pieces and add to it every year.
For my tablescape I kept things simple and tried to work in some natural elements. I used wicker chargers, burlap runners and preserved boxwood.
For the place cards I used my good old inkjet printer and printed our names on card stock. I used double sided tape to attach the ribbon together after looping it through the wreath and a bit more tape to attach the card to the ribbon. I got the little wreaths from Antique Farmhouse. As a substitute for the boxwood you could also use little grapevine wreaths and perhaps add a little greenery. I know Hobby Lobby has tiny wreaths for just a few dollars because I used them in this Acorn Wreath project.
To go along with my table settings, the nice people at Pfaltzgraff sent me this Snowflake Egg Plate. I know it should have delicious deviled eggs in it…so please forgive me for substituting these little ornaments. Making deviled eggs just wasn’t in the cards!
I wanted to show you what I did with my giant pine cones this year. I wasn’t sure I would be able to top last year’s idea but I think I may have done just that. I love them in the silver urns. Sort of a mix of shiny and rustic. It literally took five minutes to plop the pine cones in the urns and add the greenery. Can’t beat that for easy and quick!
I just listed a few of these grain sack wine sleeves in my Etsy shop. I hate to waste any part of a grain sack so I thought these would make a lovely gift for a special friend or hostess. I had a blast making the little pom poms too…in fact I have a project coming up where I use them and it actually turned out pretty good. Wonders never cease.
Don’t forget to visit my friends to see how they used their Winterberry!

Tuesday, December 3, 2013 at 8:56 pmI love your table setting! The little boxwood wreaths make a great plate topper with the name card attached. I don’t think I would’ve ever thought of that! I also like how you used your giant sugar cones. I have 2 myself but never thought to stand them on their ends like that. Very cute!

Tuesday, December 3, 2013 at 11:19 amOh, Ann, your home is so lovely. When i was seventeen i was invited to my first Bible Study and walked into a home very much like yours and i knew that i knew that i wanted what these ladies had that caused them to make an environment of grace like that…and after they introduced me to Jesus then I knew that I knew I wanted a home like this lady had so I could invite lost little girls in and they could be found. Whenever I visit Your home it brings those long ago sweet memories to mind.
