Tablescape Tuesday

Susan, from Between Naps on the Porch is once again hosting Tablescape Tuesday. I couldn't WAIT to show you this week's tablescape!! It is from my fabulously talented sister-in-love, Kathleen, who along with her husband hosted Christmas dinner. She puts glitz and glam into everything she touches!



She layers everything...first a placemat, then a mirror that she embellished with rhinestones and black swirly rub-ons, then a silver paper doily. Even the napkins were layered--one with cloth the other is paper, all wrapped prettily in a paper napkin ring and charming jingle bell.



Their chandelier gets the royal treatment too with pearl garland, bird and tree ornaments....

This is their table in the breakfast nook...small little espresso cups filled with coffee beans accentuate the center of the place settings..

More again with the layers--a beaded placemat, garnet colored chargers and a gold doily--gorgeous!
We had fun Christmas with them. Kathleen just made everything look magical!!
Thanks for popping in for Tablescape Tuesday...be sure to see other beautiful tablescapes listed at Between Naps on the Porch! Thanks again, Susan, for being such a wonderful hostess!!!
