Welcome to my Tablescape Thursday
I hope everyone has enjoyed the most
amazing Christmas with family and friends and I look forward to the welcoming the New Year.
Please join me for this fun adventure in tablescaping hosted by the lovely
Susan at Between Naps on the Porch.
Today I am sharing a dinner hosted by my daughter and son in law the Saturday
before Christmas. Kristi and I decided that since
we work so hard preparing our homes for Christmas we
should extend the festivities and schedule some pre Christmas fun. I am
still not sure that was a great idea. It was a very busy holiday...but tons of fun.
Kristi set a lovely table. She started with a pretty green velvet swirl
tablecloth and added some fun elements.
Her theme was rustic elegance and I think she captured that feel.
A gold reindeer candleholder was center stage, with Santa looking on.
She incorporated her green goblets, everyday cream dishes on wooden chargers,
an white napkins with a snowflake pattern.
Kristi is also an excellent cook. We enjoyed:
Chicken Kiev

Roasted Aspargus
A beautiful salad
and french Bread

For dessert she made us a Giada ..choc brie pannini. very low cal
Don't you just love the way gold candles look?
Thank you Kristi for the delicious meal, and thanks Tim for being a great Host.
Did I mention we also had Oprah's pomagranate martinis?
A quicky of the food....the salad
and the Chicken Kiev and Aspargus

Thank you for sharing Kristi's beautiful table. Sounds like a wonderful meal was enjoyed at this gorgous table setting.
beautiful table~
Love the brown tablecloth for a start - gives the table warmth. The way the centerpiece goes down the length of the table is wonderful - tucking pieces and candles here and there into the greenery - marvelous! (might steal that idea for next year!) (great photos too) The food looks so delicious too! What a special meal that must have been in the midst of all the busy-ness of the season!
Happy 2010!

This is all just gorgeous as usual Maryrose. How I love viewing one of your beautiful tablescapes. I think both you and your daughter are unbelievably ambitious and creative women. How I thank God for having come to know all of you through this last year. I pray that this next year is blessed, and that you will experience God's abundant love and peace. HAPPY NEW YEAR my new friend! Love and hugs to you, Debbie
Your table looks so beautiful. Happy New Year.
Beautiful, table with all the gold and green!
Very pretty table, and the meal looks delicous!
Hi Maryrose! What a beautiful table. The center pieces are very cool. I really like that deep brown-gold color. So rich looking. Great idea to start celebrating early :0)
A very Happy New Year to you and yours...
This is all soooo beautiful! The food sounds delicious too!
Thanks for sharing!
Happy New Year!

Wow!! My table pictured really well! That was so much fun, and the girls were so good (maybe because they were in bed). I loved having a Christmas dinner for the family and I think I might already have my menu planned for next year. I would love a formal dining room though, next house, can't wish for it all in the first one!! It was a really good time, thanks for all of your help!!
