Here is one of the red and white I started with...The red charger is a large Waechtersbach dinner plate. The white plate is unmarked as is the red soup bowl.
The green plates are old, also unmarked...we use them frequently. The flatware is Oneida Louisiana.
The Cris d'Arques/Luminarc wine glass has an emerald green stem. This shape and size are my favorite...they don't hold much white wine for this almost non-drinker! I bought them at Savers, they were 99¢ each, but on Mondays they give a 25% discount on certain items...they qualified for the discount so I got them for 75¢ each.
The rim shot.
I used green/red tartan napkins with little berry napkin rings.
The centerpiece is a wooden compote filled with candles and the picks from the previous few holiday posts. I also added a couple red and silver mercury glass candle holders with white chunky candles.
Yes, I did use the same crocheted table runner as last week...it is beautiful, so why not.
I want to thank all that follow me and visit each week...I really appreciate it. Please do come back the next time.
Wishing you all a season filled with love and joy.
I will be joining the following memes this week and hope that you will follow me. Thanks for hosting each week, ladies.

I'd use that beautiful crochet runner all the time! I love the tartan napkins! Perfect for the dishes. I wish you the merriest of Christmases and many many blessings for this season and next year.
It all looks so pretty, Marigene. I agree with you on using that pretty runner again. The tartan napkins are perfect with all your red,green and white.
I'm glad you used the same crocheted table runner as last week because it is one of my favorites. Love the plaid napkins, and you are doing great with your new camera.
Oh Marigene! I Love the tartan! It goes so well with all of your pretty dishes! That runner is stunning! Merry Merry Christmas! Looks like it will be a white one :-)
We're going to start calling you Marigene The Quick Change Artist! You did a great job of changing the whole personality of the table in a very short period of time. I still wish I had your magic touch when it comes to finding fabulous stuff at bargain prices!!! I must get there right after you've just left because all I ever find is junk!!! Now, I'm not going to start a turf war or anything like that, but DANG, Marigene...leave something for me!!! :-) Merry, Merry Christmas to you!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Marigene, I love your rim shots! I keep meaning to try that too! I think red and green are the perfect Christmas colors. Your table is lovely and your friends must really enjoy visiting with you. Have a very Merry Christmas! Linda
That runner is exquisite!! You do find the best things.
I don't think it could get more Christmassy than this1 I have those napkins, too, and they always pull it all together. Great table!
What a pretty and festive table! I'm sure there was a lot of good conversation and laughter with your friends around that table!

Marry Christmas my friend! Beautiful table as always.
It's fun to host friends during the holidays. Your table of red and green with a touch of plaid is my kind of table. Just take a look at the table I set for a luncheon this week. ;-)
Happy Holidays to you and your family........Sarah
