My oak buffet is one of my favorite things to decorate.
As I unpack the items, I think of where the items came from, or who gave them to me.
I have basically done it the same for the 20 years I have had the buffet.
A collection of china, and silver..some new some vintage.
I put white lights on the buffet then dress it with cuttings of our Frazier Fir
Christmas Tree
I have a holly celery dish
Old English Rose Christmas pattern, the first pieces my Mom and I bought in London
another vintage find, a bowl decorated with holly
A Portmerion plate and cup, purchased in England
And my first Christmas teapot, a gift from my Grandpa many years ago.
a few years ago I found these mercury glass candle pillars at Home Goods
look close....a snowman face!
the sterling silver creamer and sugar my SIL gave me for Christmas a few years ago
takes center stage
But at night everything just sparkles
so as I sit in my living room I can look into the dining room and see the glow
Hope your Sunday is nice and shiny and bright!
We have snow on the ground but snuggled up on this cold morning, enjoying my lights.

It's all so pretty, Ann! Your china and silver pieces look just beautiful together, and the night shot is just magical!
Your buffet is gorgeous anytime of the year, but it is especially so at Christmas. The china is fabulous and the night pictures are magical.

Ann, I know you haven't posted since the 8th....but I wanted to say Merry Christmas and hope you and your family truly enjoy it. xoxo, Susie
Your buffet and decorations are so pretty. I've never seen such colorful Christmas dinnerware, it's a nice difference from all the red & green. I'd love it if you'd join my History & Home Link Party sometime, Tuesdays - Fridays, for anything vintage or home-related. Happy New Year to you - Dawn @ We Call It Junkin.com
