Parade of tables...

After a few commenters to my last post referred to the differently decorated tables at our church's recent Christmas luncheon, and since I had the foresight to take pictures, I thought I'd do a pictorial post showing all of the tables.

We had a smaller number of ladies attend this year (by about 20), so there are at least two fewer tables.  Ours is not a large space, so I'm not sure if we could have fit in two more of these round tables, but nine tables ended up being perfect this year.  Enjoy the lineup:


Josie delivered a party with her Disney-themed table.


Cindy pampered her guests with elegance.


Gena had one of the most festive Christmas tables.


Amy's pretty table was inspired by a recent trip to Greece.


Holly was in the party mood with 
her ribbon-festooned plates.


Kay and Laura were celebrating snow 
we'd had earlier in the week.


Michelle, who is a vintage reseller, had lots of 
interesting things on her beautiful table.


While you can't see Rachel's dishes above, I swooned over the beautiful brown transferware picture on her (mother's) Johnson Brothers Friendly Village china.


And lastly, my table again, 
with vintage Courier & Ives dishes 
like the ones I grew up with.

    1. May, when I looked at the pictures I was really tickled at some things that stood out that I didn't notice when I was snapping the pictures. Like Manicotti napkin "rings"... So clever!

    1. TB, I am always kicking myself AFTER a thing wondering why on earth I can't seem to think to take pictures. It helped that all the other hostesses were snapping pictures, too. Getting better at this will be a goal going into the new year.

  3. What a lovely variety! I really like this idea - so much more fun than having it all be matchy-poo.

    1. Matchy-poo. lol I agree, Mary Anne. This is so much more fun. The different tables become part of the event, in a way.

    1. Hi Linda! Thanks for stopping in we're just coming out of a deep freeze. I know we've been colder than Michigan (just to our north). I wonder how Montreal fared in the recent chill that crossed the continent.
