For this tablescape, I used a red and white checked snowflake tablecloth that I bought at Goodwill for only $2. I kept the two tiered server, silver candlesticks, lace curtains,"snow" and lights, and the Gibson plates.
Instead of white, blue, and silver bulbs, I used red.
I found some darling Christmas dinner plates, salad plates, teacups and candlesticks at Goodwill also. I didn't spend any more than $10 total for the dinnerware and tablecloth! Since we were seating six for dinner, and I only had 4 each of the Christmas plates, I alternated each setting. The placemats, which are actually rimmed in green, not black like it appears, were a dollar each from the Dollar Tree.
I used the same server, but this time with read and white bulbs and Lindt Lindor truffles in a red wrapping (the blue were better!).
This cute handled server held an apple crisp cheeseball from Tastefully Simple, and it was delicious served with cinnamon graham crackers and Teddy Grahms!
These Christmas candlesticks were a perfect fit with my dinnerware.
I reused the silver candlesticks in this tablescape, and they are just as pretty!
Isn't it fun to create a whole new tablescape by changing just a few things? It keeps me creative and keeps cost low.
Well, it is snowing here in northwest Ohio with several inches predicted before tomorrow morning. Maybe we'll finally have more snow than Texas! Mother Nature can be such a moody broad.
