It is time to start thinking of Christmas tables. The inspiration was the Mackenzie tartan found last winter at the Goodwill. The Goodwills in this area sell tablecloths for $1.99 each, doesn't matter the size.
The white charger is metal. This was used so I could alternate colors as the red Waechtersbach dinner plate is what I am using as the charger. The dinner plate and soup bowl are Johnson Brothers in the Regency pattern, 1968-2003. The green salad plate is unmarked.
The red water/iced tea stems are compliments of a CSN gift card I was the lucky recipient from Linda at A la Carte the end of last year. The wine stem is Towle Leyland, circa 1982.
Flatware is sterling by Oneida, pattern is Afterglow, circa 1956, that belonged to my late mother-in-law. I just noticed I had forgotten to put out the soup spoons, oops!
The tureen is from Goodwill, $2.99 less the 25% senior discount! The maker is Himark (made in China) and pattern is Courtyard. The underplate is an older deep Johnson Brothers platter, it is the perfect size for the tureen. The candle holders are red mercury type glass.

Thank you for the visit, hope to see you here the next time!

That is just so pretty and wintry! What a great buy on the throw. Those red goblets really set it off too.

Marigene,
I love that tartan! It makes a lovely tablecloth and table!

Hi Marigene! That tablecloth was a STEAL! I must say that your GW is priced much better than mine, and I only get a 10% senior discount!
Love the tatan plaid theme. Still very Christmas like but unique.
thanks for coming to the party again this week :)

Marigene -- what a find in that gorgeous tablecloth! Enjoy :)
Blessings!

Love the Tartan table cloth. I love Tureen. I just used mine to make a center piece. Pat
Nothing says Christmas more than a wonderful tartan. The white serving pieces and candles just pop against that background. Very inviting table.

Another great find you got with that tartan cloth. It looks beautiful with the red glassware and dish combination!
Hi Marigene, I just love anything Tartan Plaid...and what a great price. I've been looking for one but the prices are a little more than I want to spend. Your tablescape is just beautiful!

I've been scouting for a tartan throw or table cloth, but none have appeared so far. Though I did recently find a gorgeous tureen much like yours. I'm is cabbage leaf and made in Japan. Your table is lovely!
I have loved plaid since I was a youngster when my grandmother introduced me to it. The Courtyard tureen is lovely! Love the red goblets too.
Tartan makes me swoon! I love that you used tartan as a tablecloth! ANd that soup tureen is FABULOUS!

Wonderful tablescape! I love the colors together ...the soup tureen is quite a find!
This is soooo pretty...I love the tartan plaid with the red; just stunning!
What a truly gorgeous tartan to grace your table. Wow that is a pretty piece and what a fabulous find. Your dishes are lovely. The tureen is amazing! xo marlis
Hi, Marigene! I was just looking at tartan items yesterday and wishing I had not promised myself not to buy anything! Tartan just has that Ralph Lauren Christmas look about it that I love! Reminds me of the 1980s when Ralph was king! I couldn't tell...were those little holes punched into the sides of the white charger? The look is so cool!!! What a great buy on the turkey tureen! I need to take my husband along with me so that I can get the senior discount. I could use the break on the items I get from the thrift store! Have a happy week, and stay warm!!!
I love plaid!! The Mackenzie is just so, well, Ralph Laureny!! Can't believe you found it in GW, that's amazing. The white tureen is beautiful, and dishes and crystal all work so wonderfully together! Beautiful!
Marigene, that is a score! What a beautiful tartan. It just makes the table come together. I love the color. The red and white look lovely against it. Sure wish we had a Goodwill like that!
Great buys as usual! It all looks fantastic!!
Beautiful table cover and I love your soup tureen. I found one at a thrift store a few months back for very little too. Your white really pops on the deep plaid.

Who doesn't just love a pretty plaid! This is just wonderful. Love your tureen and wonderful red goblets.
Marigene, you are so lucky to find the tartan and so pretty on your table. Then, I see another great thrifting find is the tureen. You are a great thrifter and I too love to go thrifting. Happy Tablescaping, Pam.
Marigene, your tablescape is lovely. The tartan is so pretty and makes a great background for your beautful dishes and stemware. What a steal on that tureen! That is why I am driven to scour the thrift shops every week!

The plaid works very well. I've thought of getting one but shied away. Thank you for the inspiration.
