Very nice. Just a few chances here and there and you have a whole new tablescape. You're learning pretty darn fast! I like the little bags of kisses. I'll be using that idea for a couple of my February tablescapes.

Beautiful!!
I LOVE! the color combination (maybe a little to much as I am planning red/black & silver for my Christmas tree for this year..lol).
Versatility is a great thing and with just a few changes, you have a whole new look.

There you go! I really love those napkin rings so cute..
Your glass candle holders are so pretty too!
I bought lots of kisses for .87 a bag last week to use for Valentines day too!
Pretty table, Punk!

Punk,

I really loved your first table and I love how a few changes really 'Glitzed & Glittered' it up!!

I can't believe you truly just started tablescaping and are turning out these masterpieces!

I think we have the same coffee cups. I will be using mine for hot chocolate. I ran them through the dish washer today thinking about what I had to go with them for a tablescape. Something DS and the GKids will like. :o)

Betty

Punk, there are so many things I love about your table...I don't know where to begin! First of all, let me say I think it is simply beautiful.

I love your crystal snowflakes and the big red ribbon around the hurricane. I really like how you arranged the napkins in the glasses. I can never manage to get them to look right when I try it. Way to go!

The stemmed glasses with the ornaments and snowflakes are too cute! You can expect me to copy that idea in a future table! LOL

I like how you layered your setting from the placemats to the tiny bags on top of the dishes.

I think you did a superb job!

Okay...Okay...so what are you trying to prove now??
You set one lovely table...now you go and 'show off' with another...using All those great Christmas gifts!!
Love the first one...and this one 'ain't' too shabby either!
I'm telling you Punk...you're on a roll... I'll bet you're
dreaming about tablescapes now...lol

You have some really lovely things and they all add up to such nice table settings.

jane

WOW! this is very pretty! Liked the 1st one also...your new dishes & accessories are wonderful! Love the little red goodie bags & napkins. TFS! Jeanne S.

OA, thanks so much for the wonderful comments. I love seeing everyones tables and if I could go back to school I would take interior design for sure. I'm thrilled that you would get an idea to use from one of my tables.

Milosmom, thanks for your sweet comment. I will be looking forward to seeing your Christmas tree this year.

Kathleen, thanks and I asked DD where she got the napkin rings and she said at a yard sale. I could of used more kisses but thats all I had.LOL

Betty, your so sweet and thanks for your comments. My cups are Princess House Heritage design. I have two china cabinets full. One has the fantasia pattern and the other has the Heritage pattern. One of my close GF sold crystal for years. However, I've grown to love my Waterford and Milkasa far more after discovering them.

Dream, thank you so very much for all your sweet comments and I would be honored to have you use any idea you want. I folded the napkins back and forth, full length in the first table setting I post and then slipped the ring off and turned it around and slid it up to hang on the edge of the cup for my other setting. Did this help?

Jane, thanks so much and guess what??? I'm hiring a gal to work at my office tomorrow so maybe I can have a day off here and there to play more this summer. Thanks for the warning, I hadn't been told one will start dreaming about tablescapes.haha I can hardly wait to start going through more of DM and DGM's boxes nest spring. I will be begging the other kids for all of it.

Jeanne, thank you for the sweet comments too. I can hardly wait to see more of your creations. I can tell you are going to just blow us away when you get going.

Thanks everyone for the comments on the red bags. Don't remember when I bought them or for what but decided to add them for another splash of red and after all your comments, so glad I did.

Punk

I'm late getting to post here, but loved seeing you use your Christmas goodies already. Isn't it fun to try different things until you get just the look you want? I agree with all the comments from the other gals--great job!

Luvs

Oh! What a beautiful table! I love the centerpiece you made, this is not only lovely but also very original!

Luvs and Prosperity thanks so much for your sweet comments. I couldn't resist playing with some of my Christmas treasures. I wish I had more time to tweak but am enjoying this tablescaping with what time I have to put into it.

It really cuts into my painting time but plan to try some table settings with some of my trays I've painted soon.

Punk

You are such a 'natural' at the tablesettings. Leaves me speechless how you do it.
The red-black-white combo is just stunning. And to get two such different looks with the same dishes...WOW.

hugs, Karen

Sorry I'm late posting, just can't seem to get everywhere I want to be. I love your black and white dishes and the settings are super. Crosssing the two placemats is very clever. I think I like the first setting the best, love the napkins in the mugs with the darling napkin rings. I just saw some of those tiny gift bags at DG for 70% off, I better hurry back and pick up a few, thanks for the inspriration.
Syble

Bravo, Punk!!!!! Your latest efforts with this table are perfection! The addition of the black placemats really anchors the table and the black & white print napkins were a brilliant idea. The added red bow on your centerpiece and the "bling" add such a festive touch! Love it all . . . BIG congrats!
Lynn

Karen, thank you so much for your comments. I sure hope life is treating you better. How's the decorations coming down? It's so much work when one decorates so much huh?

Syble, thanks for your comments too. Go get some of those bags, you never know what you might use then for and they should be a good buy. I'm sure I didn't pay much for mine.

Lynn, thank you for all your compliments and I hope we will hear from you more now that the Holidays are over. You are such a busy lady but it's always great to hear from you and love seeing your pictures.

Thanks again ladies for all your sweet comments. I'm going to go check out my service set of DM.
