I only do one holiday at a time, so I had to scramble to put together a table for a late night dessert this week. Most of our Christmas decorations are still stored away, but luckily I could easily get to Christmas china and linens.
Because we would serve both coffee and our signature holiday champagne cocktail, I chose the All the Days of Christmas set.
"A Partridge in a Pear Tree" |
"Two Turtle Doves" |
"Three French Hens" |
"Four Calling Birds" |
"Twelve Drummers Drumming" |
"Eight Maids Milking" and "Three French Hens" |
I have had the plaid tablecloth since the mid '80s -- everything old is new again! Since it is rectangular, it doesn't quite cover the round table, and the wood top is showing in a couple of the pictures.
I paired the tablecloth with red napkins. Gold colored napkin rings that I bought years ago and heavy brass candlesticks play off the gold thread in the tablecloth and on the rims of the china.

DeleteYour table is gorgeous -- love the plaid and the china is terrific. I've never seen the 12 Days china before and I can see why you were taken with it. I am too. Coming over from Katie's! ~jeanie at Marmelade Gypsy
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeanie! These were the first Christmas plates I ever bought. I've held onto the plaid cloth forever, even though it doesn't really fit any of my current tables!
DeleteThat is a beautiful pattern. I love plaid and this sets such a pretty table.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Katie! I still enjoy these plates even after all this time.
DeleteI love 12 days of Christmas plates! I have a set of plates and bowls myself. You can always throw the tablecloth on the table at an angle and no one will notice lol Thanks for sharing at Vintage Charm! xo Kathleen
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kathleen! I love the song's theme of showering someone with oodles of gifts! Funny how I kept the tablecloth all these years and finally put it to use again.
