A French Country Christmas~Dining Room 2013

Hi Friends...
  Today I'll be sharing Christmas in the Dining Room! Like I mentioned before this year I used all fresh greens.
I lucked out when taking these shots...we haven't had to many sunny days lately!
Christmas under a cloche...
Love the variegated leaves on this poinsettia plant...and you can see where I used the other pinecone candles that I bought.

I found these pretty dishes in Home Goods last year and forgot I had them...love when that happens!
Now for the hutch...
I just added my glittery Santa's along with greens and pinecones.
Found this cute tree garland in Target.

Snowflake had to make her appearance too...you never know where she's going to show up:)
Thanks so much for stopping by...hope you enjoyed the tour!

    I see Target gets to you too:) I try hard to stay out of there! I love the Christmas Tree garland did not see that when I bought mine.
    I love your blinds...are they matchstick? I think I'm going to change to them after Christmas.
    Always love everything you do...have a Merry Christmas.

    Very pretty, Martina! That red and white transferware is perfect for this time of year, too. I love it all year, but I think it stands out and becomes a part of the festive look at Christmas time.

    I'm ashamed to say the two swags I purchased from the boy scouts this year are slumped on the porch with snow on them. I should just bring them inside and hang them since it's obvious I won't be hanging them on the porch. The light bulb came on when I saw yours.

    LOVE your Christmas touches, especially the variegated leaf poinsettia and your hutch with the transferware. You have me wanting to put out my red transferware. I decorated my hutch for a party, but now, I'm in the process of changing it. :) Snowflake is so cute in her skirt. Our grandsons have one and have a lot of fun looking to see where it is each day.
