Father Christmas

16 years ago

I was going through a storage container today and found this Father Christmas and candles rings that I had forgotten about. They were both after Christmas sale buys last year. I can't believe I forgot about them! I couldn't resist doing a table setting even though Christmas is over.

I was in a hurry doing this one and couldn't put my hands on my cream tablecloth, so had to use a white one. I so need some organization in my house! LOL

I bought Father Christmas last year at HL. He's cream and gold with a touch of silver on his vest, so I used all three colors on the table.

After shopping at HL, I went to Michaels and found the candle rings that also have cream, gold and silver. It was a match made in heaven. LOL

I saw the silver tapers on sale at WM yesterday, but of course I didn't buy any. My sweet DH had to go back to town today and he picked some up for me. I had put the leaf back in my table since I thought my son would be at home tonight too, but one of his friends called...and you know the rest of this story. Guess I forgot to put the other chairs back before taking this picture!

Dream...this is just 'dreamy'.
Love how you displayed 'Father Christmas' and even though Christmas is over...hey who's telling!! lol

I just love him with the little gifts at his feet and on the lace tablecloth, he looks perfect!
You set just the right accessories to go with him too. I love the touches of gold, cream and silver. I love how you placed fruit compotes in the candle rings.
My DM had the same compotes.
Funny that your DH got the silver candles for you ...
I forgot that I bought some last year and I'm trying to remember now where I put them!! lol Glad I saw yours..

Again, lovely, lovely table.

Great looking Father Christmas, and those rings around your dishes were just the perfect thing to set them off. I like the strands of pearls on the table too. So glad you found him before the season was completely over! Luvs

So glad you got to use him at least once this year, he's is lovely. I really like the the ornament place card holders too. I feel bad about not displaying some of my Christmas things this year, it's sad to put them away for a another whole year. I guess this means that I have to many decorations if I can't get them all out.

Dream,

I'm glad you posted this. I bought a Santa similar to your's after Christmas last year. Mine is cream and icy(for lack of a better word). He has a couple of cream colored presents in his right arm with some icy looking branches or something sticking up in the air behind them. The left hand is holding a crystal looking snowflake. He doesn't look as fancy as your's, but I now have a better way to use him besides sticking him on the piano! I LOVE those silver tapers. Very elegant looking.

I believe I like the white tablecloth better than I would a cream one. With the cream colored pearls it's just right.

Just thought I would let you know I'm a wantin' your napkins so you can keep your doors locked! :o)

I really like all of the different "Shines" you have going on.

So... What's for dinner?
