I Call it Woodland Sparkle…

Recently I fell in love with the Woodland Chalet table linen line from Target. I happened upon a great sale and picked up the tablecloth, napkins, and table runner. The best thing is they are winter themed so I can use them beyond the holidays!

For fun I set a tablescape that was holiday themed with the addition of real evergreen branches, pine cones, holiday ornaments, and two precious little white cardinals that typically sit on my end table. To add a little extra sparkle I tied napkin rings with wire glittered ribbon and interspersed four silver crackle votive holders in the center piece. My favorite touch of sparkle are three oversized silver pinecones I picked up on clearance at Kohls.

Holiday Tablescape

This fall I was inspired by a hurricane I saw as a centerpiece for a tablescape in a local Pottery Barn store. I couldn’t bring myself to spend nearly a hundred dollars on a hurricane so I headed to HomeGoods and found this fabulous hurricane-shaped vase for only $15! Two strands of pussy willows strategically wrapped inside the vase brought it to life. I topped it off with a wood candle holder to contribute to a little ambiance. This centerpiece is on the table year round…only the runner and everything around it gets changed by season.

I hope some of these ideas and photos inspired you with ideas for your own holiday table. Happy Holidays!

I participated in the 69th Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps on the Porch. Check it out for other holiday tablescape inspiration!

Love the look of this table. Pinecones are one of my favorites and of course the birds. The bows on the napkins are so pretty.

I think your table is simply beautiful! I love the colors and the way each item commands attention even though it is blended beautifully with the others. Lovely.
