pre Christmas brunch

the place setting in Red and white The gold poinsettia will have a name tag.

Christmas is just a few days away and have not even done any shopping. I made a few  stocking stuffers. I will be at my son's for Christmas who lives just around the block. Hoping the weather is good as the children will be coming from NYC and NC.

The candle holder was a ugly gold color . I painted it white. I wound some gold garland and nested red balls. On the left is a candle lamp I used battery candle and wrapped it with plaid ribbon and filled it snow balls, fake of course and a pine deco.     On the right I used a plastic coffee jar with ribbon bands filled it with red and white mints. Glued a nest with cardinal on top.

A closer look at candle holder. I also hung small glass hangers from the curved part. The tablecloth is a shiny white with silver pattern.

I wanted to stick with red and green. Place mats in green and napkins red damask. the silverware is a  off white. The large white plate I use a lot. I have 4 glasses from the twelve days of Christmas and gold stemmed wine glasses.

On the chair I hung an elaborate Santa head. He wears a very fancy hat and tassel.

This a very fancy cone with small red and white roses.

I made the red circles to set off all the white. The candle is wrapped in white and silver brocade

A closer look at lamp In closer looks you will see I used a lot of plaid.

On the serving cabinet I used my green wine server and green stemmed glasses

I also put the sweets in a raised dish with cover.

cute salt and peppers.

This is one of a set of the twelve days of Christmas.
