Red & White Toile for Christmas in the Dining Room

I'm trying some red and white toile in the dining room.
I moved my new antique box from the kitchen
to the center of the dining room table
where it sits on the creamy burlap runner.







The vaisselier is filled with red and white transferware,
mercury glass, and white dishes, etc.







In the kitchen, my vintage scale is holding
a candle and ring.


After I moved the antique box to the dining room,
I decided to put my Santa collection on the kitchen table
where the grandies - ages 3-7 - will be sitting.
I think they will love the Santas!



I'll add some Santa plates
and the little ones will be happy!
Well, that and a tummy full of my angel biscuits!

I think the decorating is complete or
at least as complete as it can be.
Merry Christmas to all!
Peace and Joy to you!
Linda

Linda, your box is going to serve you well all year long. It's a winner! Love the toile and the red transfer ware. This is a beautiful Christmas table, but it work equally as well for a Valentine's Day table. Love those pomegranates. I added some to may mantel this season. They are so big! Happy holidays to you and your family. ~ Sarah
