Hello Everyone!
I decided to try a woodland table this week. Complete with plaid, red berries, garland
birds and my new favorite enamel deer.
I have been inspired by so many bloggers.
Thanks to Lynne for all the inspiration.
I found the JOY votives at Marshalls.Thanks to Sarah for the inspiration.
Plaid bow ribbons and garland to decorate the chandelier.
Thanks to Kristen for this idea.
The wreath on mirror was an idea from Susan. 
I found the plaid tablecloth at Marshalls. 
The enamel deer I found at Pier 1.
Thanks to Kristen for this idea.

I found a gold crown! It was at Marshalls and I could not believe my luck.
I added ribbon to candles and a flower arrangement and they instantly became a Christmas decoration.
Thank you to Rue for this idea.
Happy Holidays!

Melissa, What a beautiful tablescape. I love the mix of the plaid with some bling. But the deer dressed in his finest. Oh my goodness girl.That stole my heart.
YOur crown is fantastic..hummm I'm wondering should I put that on the list???? I did get your beautiful card. Had to read it out loud to DH. He is as touched as I am with all the great friendships that have been found on line. I'm wondering what time is dinner? I sure don't want to be late... I'm off to do some "last" minute shopping. From our home to yours, Merry christmas!!! hugs ~lynne~

Hello Melissa & Merry Christmas my friend....
I'm so happy that you took the time out of your busy schedule to stop by and see my "Old World Santas"! You know...both of my Santas I really got a deal on...they are a bit pricey but I waited and got them 50% off the day after Christmas...hehe!!! I agree...your beautiful Christmasy home needs one!!! You asked about that tapestry runner on my buffet...yes, that is long fringe! Thank you for the compliment...when I seen it...I had to have it!!! And you wouldn't believe what I paid for it...only $14 at Hobby Lobby on their 80% off rack!
Okay...now lets talk about this beautiful Christmas table that you set! It's absolutely gorgeous...I'm just crazy about each and every little detail of it! I love your plaid tablecloth...I don't know, but red plaid just says "Christmas" to me! Your centerpiece is gorgeous...and I love those little round berrie trees!!! Where did you find those? Or did you make them??? Well my friend, your entire home is absolutely beautiful...so festive and Christmasy...I could spend hours just taking the tour and soak in every little detail!!!
Best wishes to you and yours for a very Merry Christmas & I pray that the Lord bless you in the coming New Year!!!
Love ya,

Just beautiful and so inviting, Melissa! I just love the country cozy feel of plaids at Christmas! I love the colors in your dining room. I am anxious to get my house painted, maybe this winter. It was such an undertaking moving into a new house, that the walls have come last! Merry, Merry Christmas!
