Third Time's A Charm

This is the third year that I'm attempting 

to perfect my Christmas tablescape.

Thanks to my Blogger friends for all

the great suggestions.

Comments are always welcome!

Here and here are the last two years.

This year I have added a few special items that add 

a little eye candy and sparkle to the table

as well as a little candy itself!

Last year I was fortunate to find these charming

little reindeer salt and pepper shakers

at Pottery Barn...

Galloping Reindeer Salt & Pepper Shakers-Reg. $30

It was after Christmas and for only a day

PB listed them online for just $6.99!!!

Read here how I snatched them up right away.

I think they definitely compliment my big 

PB reindeer cookie jar centerpiece, 

and add some sparkle with that silver stand.

Did you notice the cookie snowflake

ornaments hanging above the table?

They were an after Christmas find at Kmart.

I want to believe they sort of tie together

the whole cookie jar centerpiece theme.

They sure do look tasty.

Speaking of tasty, while I was strolling through 

the candy isle this month,

I noticed how the Christmas Rolos

were sort of the colors of plaid.

I reckoned they would look charming 

near last year's Carson plaid plate additions, 

and add a nice sparkle.

Again a favorite tradition is including 

Bobs Sweet Stripes Soft Peppermint Sticks 

with their festive red stripes.

New this year 

is a short apothecary jar from Michaels,

I filled it with Harry & David 

"Mondo Milk Chocolate Maltballs".

get them here

They were a gift from my mom, 

from my trip to Virginia HERE.

Another Kmart find are these charming little 

plaid bird house ornaments.

One has a green roof,

and around back,

one has a red roof and 

the plaid works perfectly with the scape.

So you see after many additions the 

tablescape takes on a sweet Christmas charm.

And a little Christmas sparkle!

Check out my pantry this year!
