Christmas in July

Since I don't have a dining room table this is what I came up with.....

An old side table that was my grandmother's...

Followed by a glass top from another table.....

Covered with a tablecloth from Salvation Army.

I decided to use my grandmother's set of dishes, Friendly Village by Johnson Brothers.

The reindeer I found after Christmas on sale at Pier One for $7.00.

A flowering Vinca adds some color.


I will be joining Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps on the Porch. Thanks for stopping by.

  5. What a lovely table you created. I really like the red chargers with Friendly Village, they bring out the red in the dishes. Nice choice for Christmas. The reindeer is gorgeous and such a great find! I also love the vinca and the beautiful tablecloth. To be honest...I love it!!

  6. I love Christmas and would be happy with my holiday things out from October to January! That is a lovely scene at your table and clever, too. I am also on Plan B of my life as my husband died last September. It sure is a challenge, isn't it? Hope you'll stop by a visit! ♥♫

  8. What a beautiful table, Lisa. I love the transferware plates. Where is the snow that is needed to cool us off?

  12. I found this post after seeing your beautiful blog header (from Marty's Table Top Tuesday). I love how you've used your Friendly Village china here -- so beautiful! My soon-to-be daughter-in-law inherited a large set from her grandmother, and I always enjoy sending her links to tables that show it off. Lovely!
