Nutcrackers Abound for Christmas
Hello and welcome in to Tablescape Thursday hosted by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch. Please visit her blog for a list of participants and all the lovely tablescapes for this week.
The dinner plates, salad plates and soup bowls are part of the Christopher Radko collection which I purchased at Target three years ago, the chargers are from HomeGoods, the placemats are from Ross, the napkins are from HomeGoods, the napkin rings are from Hobby Lobby, the golden flatware is Reed and Barton, the stemware I have had for years, The Nutcrackers are part of a rather large collection that I mass some years and spread over the house during other years….I think they make such a ‘happy’ centerpiece.
I am a huge fan of nutcrackers and decided to make some of my collection a centerpiece for my Christmas tablescape.
Thank you so much for coming by and visiting with me. You are always so very welcome!

Beautiful! I'm a big fan of Nutcrackers too! I don't have many because I always bought them for my grandson, he has a large collection! He bought his first one with his own money at about age 5 or 6!
I enjoyed this tablescape very much!

Hi again Barb! Thank you for your comment!! After reading it I realized how depressing I sounded and I don't want to be a downer!lol I'm just really worn out and decided if I can't give 100% I need to take a break! (it's that perfectionist disease!!lol) Thank you for your concern dear and your kind words! I'll still visit from time to time because your blog brings me great joy!! Much happiness to you - your crazy bloggie friend - Jeannette
Simply stunning! How I wish I had a camera that took such photo's. The Nutcracker theme is wonderful! Simply wonderful. I used to have some very large ones...and they disappeared in one of our moves...now I REALLY miss them! Perhaps I should start trying to replace them. Yours look so cheery and perfect for the season.
Hugs,
Mona
Aren't you thankful for all the beauty and blessing you add to all of our lives through our visits to your blog? This tablescape is so colorful and festive! I can't imagine the privilege it would be to sit down to dinner at such a delightful setting. I like the nutcrackers you collected. I like the napkin rings...actually, I liked it all. Thank you for sharing this with us again. I also think your new blog decor is just beautiful.
Your new blog decor is beautifully done! Your tablescape is so tastefully done and I just can't imagine what a privilege it would be to sit and have dinner at your table. Thank you for all the work and planning you did to share this tablescape with us. I really like the nutcracker collection you have. It is such a lovely post.
Beautiful. As always. I love the peace I feel when I visit your blog. It's like stepping into another world...I take a deep breath, and I'm almost waiting for someone to appear at my side and pour me a cup of Christmas tea. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! Any other words would take away from everything you present ...
Merry Christmas, TTFN ~ Marydon

Barb, Your nutcrackers make that table POP! The dinnerware is so cute and it looks so well accented with that gold silverware. Very pretty tablescape....
hugs, Sue
I like the new blog template and header! Hope all is well!
Hi Barb. I just love the Radko dishes, I fondle them every time I go into Target! I just don't have room for more though and Hubby got me a nice set of dishes last year that are white and "go with everything". I'll have to be happy playing with different napkins and such.
Saw your little tree in the den. It's so sweet. I'd love to nap under it on that little sofa surrounded by all those books!
Christmas Hugs,
Dawn
Barb, A very colorful Christmas tablescape, everything goes together so perfectly. Thanks for sharing, I can see Christmas dinner being served on this bautiful table.
I saw your message on my blog: I'm sorry to hear things are chaotic right now. I hope you and Ron are okay. If there's anything I can do, let me know.
Wishing you a blessed Christmas and a prosperous and healthy New Year. I hope Santa is extra good to you this year.
Hugs,
Judy
