It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

This is a “Blast from the Past” post, and also part of a Series of “Christmas Tablescapes from “Christmas Past” & “Christmas Present” – featuring traditional “Christmas Tree” Dishes. Both posts were previously published on my website, but I want to share them again, because they are two of my favorite Christmas Tablescapes. Also, I will be adding another one to this series of “Tablescapes using Traditional Christmas Tree Dishes” so it seemed only fitting to start the Christmas season with my original two from this series.

To see the full posts for these tablescapes – including LOTS of pictures and full details of all the items used, click on the blue post titles below:
