aren't you going to do a
CHRISTMAS table
using your signature colors of
BLACK and WHITE and RED ?
I said, "Why, you bet your boots, I am.."
so I visited the past for a
BLACK and WHITE
TABLE FOR TWO....
One of my dearest friends made these adorable polka dot place mats for me..
I started this setting on a solid BLACK table but it was
just a little too ....emmm....ugly STARK for me
so I added a white cloth...
ahhhh, softer and much better..
There's those little vintage and, oh, so versatile
tiny little white pitchers...
I just filled them with holly
and...walla....INSTANT CHRISTMAS...
....a candy cane, a sprig of holly and a
polka dot ribbon and I had
INSTANT napkin rings...
Have you ever imagined how versatile
BIG RED PLATES are?
I do love mine....
all year 'round..not JUST at Christmas.
It's amazing how a little holly..
candle light..
a touch of RED
can spell
C.H.R.I.S.T.M.A.S.
**
I leave you with Beignets puffs,
all covered in powdered sugar...
Please...
help yourself.

It looks gorgeous, who would have thought that black would fit in so well with Christmas:-) I just love the way you used a candy cane, holly and ribbon to tie up the silverware, I may just "steal" that idea for my Christmas dinner!! hehe You always give me so many ideas, thank you for that:-) xoxo
"Someone asked..."
Oh my, how could they *doubt* you, hu? -gigggles-
Beautiful, BJ...yes, red plates are invaluable in tablescaping!
Just Gawjus, BJness! You can do anything I've decided. You never disappoint me - you made goodies! :)
Be a sweetie,

Just Lovely!
Think I'll use your napkin ring idea.
Black, red & white are my colors also... just fun year around.
And as always, I leave with my mouth watering... Beignets look scrumpious
Happy Pink Saturday. I have been running like mad all day and now it is really after midnight but I wanted to hop on over. I agree with the red plates. I just bought some today. I adore your checkered tiered serving dish. Wherever did you get such a lovely thing?!
Love your black, white & red! Your beignets are calling my name :-)
Such a great table! Thanks so much for sharing it with Seasonal Sundays.

BJ, I sitting her enjoying my morning with a cup of coffee and visiting my favorite blogs. One of those sweet beignets would be perfect. Thank you!
Of course you know I love this table setting. Black and white with a touch of red is always a good thing! ~ Sarah
I love the black, white and red, and oh, those Beignets!
Hi BJ...
My friend, WELCOME to Sunday Favorites! I was just tickled pink to see your name on the list of party participants! Thanks so much for joining in with the fun! What a sweet post to revisit...your beautiful Christmas table definitely deserved a second showing! Girl, everytime I see black and white polka dots...I think of you!!! Hehe! It really is your "signature"! I love the simplicity of the white pitchers filled with the Christmas holly for the centerpiece...that's sooo pretty! You know, I am really missing my holly up here in Colorado! I had a bunch growing in my yard when I lived in Texas. I have a set of red dishes as well...you have probably seen them in a few of my tablescapes. You're right, they are so versatile...I use them all the time! Well Darlin', this has been such a treat! Sure hope you'll join us again for Sunday Favorites! You're welcomed any ol' time!
Have a wonderful day, sweet friend!

Black and white and red I see, and automatically think of you. But I do the same thing when I see delicious-looking food!
