The Adventure’s of Tartanscot had a Holiday Decorating Contest and here’s my entry…
It’s a joyful Christmas morning and the table is set for breakfast {well, brunch most likely!} The vintage “elf on the shelf” inspired the traditional red & green color scheme. I love when period styles are blended, so there’s a mix of modern, vintage and contemporary elements.
The table features two table runners crisscrossing, both with fun prints. One is actually two dish towels from Crate & Barrel put together {shhh}… can you tell which one? The centerpiece consists of a sparkly snowman, Swedish Kosta Boda crystal snowball votive and red roses {Trader Joes, thank you very much!} with heather {from the garden} in a milk glass bowl (from an estate sale}. Here’s how to make the floral centerpiece.
Glittery, lime green snowflake ornaments are used as napkin rings {from Crate & Barrel}.
The table even includes a note to Santa with nibbled snacks from the wee hours of the morning.
And as you can see, that little elf keeps hopping around… he just wouldn’t sit still!
Happy Holidays!
