My son is coming home from college for the first time since he left. I'm so excited. This is our usual Christmas breakfast table, but I thought I'd do it tonight in honor of Son.
Here's my newly painted table and chairs, just in the nick of time for Christmas cheeriness.
I used my vintage jadite and vintage polka dot glasses.
Cute dutch salt and peppers.
I used dishtowels for napkins and my old Target flatware.
Here is my vintage small cake plate-it looks really good with the jadite and kind of ties the red and green together. I'll stick some homemade brownies in there for dessert.
We will have natchoes for dinner because Mexican food is what Son missed the most. Welcome Home!
I'm joining It's a Very Cherry World and Between Naps on the Porch today. Please go and check out some wonderful reds and beautiful Tablescapes!Leslie
That is such a pretty tablescape. I love the pairing of the red and the greens together. And the cake cover is so unusual. I have never seen another like it.
ReplyDeleteI know you will so glad to have your Son home for the holidays.

Your table is so cute! Love all the vintage elements, especially the cake plate (which I've never seen one like). Also, I like your window seat w/ red pillows and the red chairs. I know you will enjoy your time with your son. I'm not looking forward to my oldest going to college, but thankfully, I have a few more years.
ReplyDeleteHi -- love this whimsical table. Your new red charis are so cute. I am in love with red. Love the jadite too. Joni
ReplyDeleteNot only the cake with the crystal looking plate to go with it, but an amazing vintage hand beaded purse (looked brand new), beautiful outdoor plastic dishes (a whole set of 6,,,pretty much brand new)....I'm trying to think what else I took from that person's boulevard ,,lol...My girlfriend laughed at me..I screamed..'stop''..and threw open the door before she even stopped.
ReplyDeleteI just love the table setting..how exciting about your son coming home for the holidays...yahooo..I'm so in love with jadeite..my grandmother used to have tons of it.It's really hard to find anything like that now where I live....
I love your red and white table and chairs. So cheery and will be fun year round. How great that your son is coming home. This will be the perfect table to gather around.
ReplyDeleteLove your table ....the setting is wonderful and so festive ...enjoy your sons Homecoming....sure to be a happy time for all...blessings

ReplyDeleteLove your color combinations. Your jadeite is a wonderful collection. Loved the cake plate!
ReplyDeleteI love your vintage red and green table. I remember my mother had a whole set of the jadite and polka dotted glasses when I was a teen. What a great cake saver!
ReplyDeleteWonderful tablescape to welcome your dear son home from college. You've inspired me to pull out my Jadeite and create a Christmas table with it. Just never thought of it before. Thank you for sharing your charming design. Cherry Kay
ReplyDeletea sweet setting for your boy. I hope you all have a blessed time together with him...It all looks so festive in deed...Blessings Mica/The Child's Paper
