There was to be a meme party, a tablescape copy cat, for the 14th but it has been called off.
I had my post all ready, so I decided to do it anyway.
I brought back one of my favorite CHRISTMAS TABLES to KNOCKOFF. :)
THE ABOVE TABLE belongs to a long-time blogging friend, PHYLLIS,
that hangs out AROUND THE HOUSE.
This tablescape is from several years ago and when I first saw it,
I thought it was SOOO pretty...
I love the casualness of it...the RED and WHITE color scheme
and the PURE FUN OF IT....

...JUST MY KIND OF TABLE....
F.U.N.
Sooo, I HAD to try to recreate it....
I don't have the beautiful dishes that was used here,
but, I had LOTS of RED and WHITE.....
Aren't HER cookies delightful ?
PLEASE do yourself a huge favor and visit her blog for some of the most beautiful EYE CANDY you will see all year. ♥
Would you kindly tell her bj said HEY ?
THIS is my CANDY CANE TABLE
and I had so much fun, playing with it.
♥ ♥ ♥
I started making these delicious and cute CANDY CANE cookies when my little boy was old enuf to eat cookies...he is now almost 48 yrs. old.....Sooo, I've been making them quite awhile.
We have them EVERY SINGLE CHRISTMAS..... ♥
TRADITION, ya know !!
...don't you love TRADITIONS ? ...MEEE, TOO.
...candy canes......so stinkin' cute
I could only find ONE candy cane candle...
guess everyone buys them out before CHRISTMAS....
♥ ♥ ♥
Most of my dishes are very PLAIN...
they are used for all sorts of holidays and dinners.
The solid white plates are from Pier 1
and the large red ones hail from Wallmart.
I THINK I bought the little red CHRISTMAS plates off Ebay....
but......wouldn't swear to it.
I have LOVED these wintertime goblets for years. I've used them to drink WINE...now THAT is a big glass of wine...
for water..
for tea...
for candles.....:)
and these beauties came from McDONALD'S, of all places...♥
THREE little silly g'girls in a HAPPY Christmas photo...
They are almost grown now....and I will put this adorable photo of them
out at CHRISTMAS TIME for all my life.....and it just MAY travel to Heaven with me.
♥ ♥ ♥
MERRY CHRISTMAS !
THANK YOU, PHYLLIS, for sharing your beautiful
CHRISTMAS CANDY CANE TABLE
with us....
and thanks for allowing me to COPYCAT you, as best I could.

This is a very cute and fun table, BJ. I love the colors and love those stiped red and white candles....Christine
Hahaha! I have those snowy tree goblets, too. We kept going back to MacD's for more drinks or Happy Meals or whatever to get another goblet. And I got a set of green goblets from Arby's! That's a lot of Diet Pepsi!
Love the peppermint table setting. Such a pretty candle.
beautiful table scape, I love that candle, i have never even saw one like that!
BJ, you are so inspiring! You can take a little of this and a little of that and turn it into a something awesome! The candy cane decor is so pretty and fun!
You are having fun BJ. Your cookies are adorable. I can just imagine how loved you must be by all your kiddos.

Love the grandgirlies in that frame. I can see why you're especially fond of the photo. WHat a lovely table this is. I want to sit right down and have Christmas breakfast. Hmmm... I have yet to find a candy cane candle and have been looking all over. It is not going to happen this year, I'm afraid.
Love the bird plate. Its from Pier 1 isn't it? I wanted to buy one of each color (red, green, and yellow) as it would match our living room decor, but I never got around to it. It looks so nice on your table!
Hi BJness! I love your little copy cat table! It's darling! Now you're giving Phyllis a run for her money! Your table looks wonderful! Love everything you've done! The candy cane candle looks so pretty in the big hurricane! I love a gal who loves to have fun! Fun is my middle name! :)
Be a sweetie,

I love red and white together! Her table and yours are both so festive. I bet it was fun looking around your house to gather things for your table setting. It's always easier when you're working towards a theme.
What a beautifully Christmas table! Everything is soelegant and festive, I like it!
Nice day, kisses:)

Hi BJ! LOVE the candy cane table and may just try my own table with a similar theme this Christmas.. So CUTE and FUN! I'm sure my kids would love it too!.. Love the picture of the "silly girls" too! Family photos don't ALL have to be formal and stuffy, right?! They look like they're having fun, and THAT'S what you want to remember most!.. If it's o.k., I'm grabbing a cookie on the way out! They look so GOOD!!.. Hope you're enjoying this holiday season! ((hugs)) ~tina

Oh my gosh! You did a wonderful job of copy catting. I love your friends table but I love yours just as much!
You sure have the knack of making things so beautiful, warm and homey.
I love your dishes I loved your candy cane candles,I loved this whole post, that's because I am in love with red and you used this wonderful color in such a wonderful way!
Hugs
Iris
Too pretty!!!!! You are so talented and creative. What lovely festive tables you create. Mickie :)
Again you have me in awe; surely all your festive dishes makes it so attractive, but you have the talent to display it the right way.
Are you sure you don't work for some fancy magazine and pretending you're a humble blogger?
Don't ge mad; it's a compliment that I can make cause your my friend.
Hugs,
Rita
Both tables are just adorable and as you said - FUN!
Hi BJ!
Love all the red and white... but I spy a wonderful quilt on the wall that goes so nicely with those colorful little Christmas plates!
Your table is beautiful just like the one Phyllis did. I will go right on over to visit her.
xoxo Bunny Jean
It's lovely, BJ! I bet your home is a warm and cozy Christmas Cottage, filled with love, that is for sure!
BJ, I love your red and white Christmas tables. I have red and white dishes and decorations, so you offer me a great deal of inspiration! Thanks! Annie
BJ,
I love your fun, Whimsical, candy cane tablescape! The tradition of the candy cane cookies and the silly grands photo are delightful!
Fondly,
Pat
