Christmas Table

This table is still a work in process. I got the mercury glass candle holders today at Target, but no candles. Duh.


The striped plates are from Wal*Mart and are the only other new addition to this table.



The little white vases are from Ikea and are holding sprigs of rosemary from my yard.



I made these napkin years over 30 years ago. The napkins were bought at a Christmas craft show about the same time.

I love the mercury glass candle holders (I've had my eye on the same ones!!) You could always improvise, and use some draping greenery and/or oversized christmas bulbs atop them. I love the fresh rosemary in the vases... I can just imagine the great fragrance they give. And the square plates are SO fun!! It's all very cheery and festive! :)

I just love mercury glass. My table is featuring it this week too. I love that you included the rosemary sprigs too. I really like doing that on my tables. It is so pretty and the smell is divine!

I'm a major fan of mercury glass, and I love these that can hold the fat 3" pillar candles!

Aren't the Mercury Glass candlesticks so much fun for the holidays! I love mine, too. The striped plates are so dynamic on your table. Great choice! Thank you for sharing your charming design. Cherry Kay
