When I bought my house years ago, I wanted a large
dining room. I had my Grandmother's buffet and hutch along with
a antique buffet I had bought at an auction. So I wanted
plenty of room for all the pieces. Luckily I found that house
with the large dining room.
I love decorating the buffet
new pieces and vintage pieces.
with white lights and evergreen
I especially love it at night
My Portmerion plate I bought in London years ago, my Grandmothers cut
glass holder
new mercury glass
My silver, a vintage sugar shaker
Christmas Old English Rose
Now a look at my Grandmother's buffet
Her silver set and some pieces of her American Fostoria
Both were used when she hosted her Eastern Star meetings or
Book lovers club.
A little silver basket filled with greens
Her sterling silver candlesticks
I always fill up some of the dishes with Hershey miniatures
for the Holidays, just as she always did
The mirror always hung about the buffet at her house, so it does in
my dining room too. Reflects my MIL beautiful china cabinet she gave me
that is filled with nothing but crystal.
My little plates I picked up several years ago.
I still miss going to Grandma's for Christmas,
it has been 25 years since I did.
But the wonderful memories live on.
Merry Christmas to all Marty and all my TTT friends!

A beautiful Merry Christmas table top, Ann!
A great Christmas tabletop.
I love all of the silver and mercury glass, Ann! And I've always wanted a vintage sideboard like yours, it's gorgeous. Oh, and the greenery over the mirror is a terrific idea, love it all!!
You have the best collection of "stuff". Great things to play with and all the homey furniture that has your family history. Just too cool.
Getting the time machine spiffied up so we can go to Benedict's, BUT we have to stop at the candy counter first to get a bag of chocolate goo before we head to the toy side.
They didn't light the courthouse in Paris this year. Do they have ours done? I know they have been working on it so much this year.
Did you hear that they reopened the movie house in Paris? Yes they did! I think if they would have waited a little longer, maybe someone would have done the same with the Will Rogers.
Ann your Merry Christmas table top is absolutely gorgeous!
Wishing you and your family Ann a very Merry Christmas.
