I have several small nutcrackers, no large one, unfortunately. This table is decorated around them. I did buy the "plastic" salad plates at World Market a few weeks ago. There were on red or blue nutcrackers, so I bought two of each.
A picture of the tree...and see the plant with the green leaves...that is the poinsettia I got last year! I have never been able to keep one longer than a couple days...amazingly this one is still alive!
Howard covered my chairs with the yellow/white elephant fabric. I love them. If I tire of them I still have the zebra fabric...not sure if he would tackle that job again, though!
Thanks for visiting today...hope you will return next time! Have a great weekend!

Loved your Nutcracker table. Nothing could be more perfect than a Nutcracker theme. I love love love your plates. Those red goblets are beautiful! What a gorgeous yet fun table.
Fun table Marigene! This would make a great table for hosting friends or family going to or coming from the annual holiday performance! Being a retired dancer with girls who also performed, I can even see hosting the performers after a show with this great table.

Oh so wonderful and bright. I love the nutcracker plates. Don's boss collects nutcrackers and so of course I had to show her your blog. I love reds and white at christmas - this table is magnificent. Like the chair seat covers too - I am trying to decide on fabric for mine. I have two chairs with padded seats and four chair that will have cushions - that is going to be my after the new year project for sure - I want something in a pale yellow print to go with my chairs yellow paint - I painted them last summer.
Love love love your table.
Bravo again. How do you keep topping every tablescape you do? bbb
Love your Nutcracker table. The plates are adorable. It would be a pleasure to be a guest at your table. Love the seat. I love changing them out. Merry Christmas.
Love your nutcracker table! It would be perfect for my home and our nutcracker mantel. Merry Christmas Marigene!
Beautiful nutcracker table. Those goblets and plaid are just gorgeous! Your dining room looks amazing too.
Merry Christmas
What an amazing table!
I have the same red goblets.
Merry Merry Christmas!
I haven't seen the nutcracker plates and they are such fun as well as being different. This table is a good one!
I am so glad to know that I am not the only one who decorates an entire table around a salad or appetizer plate! I was looking at some of your older tables this morning and thinking that I really do need to shop at Home Goods far more often than my semi-annual trips. This is lovely and colorful, and so festive. I LOVE that elephant fabric on your chairs. Thanks for the reminder that I seriously need to spruce mine up. The happiest of holidays to you and Howard!
I love the elephant fabric! What a sweet holiday table with the nutcracker plates, Marigene. Merry Christmas to you!
Merigene...as always a lovely and cheerful table setting. I love the plaid..but you KNOW I am into plaid and have been since my teens. That always catches my eye. I never miss a single detail! :)
Sending you a hug for sharing your pretty decor with us.

What a fun post. I love your nutcracker plates and your fabric on the chairs makes me smile. Merry Christmas!
Wonderful table! I didn't even unpack my nutcrackers this year -- too lazy! This makes me wish that I had. The whole scape is so cheerful-- just lots of fun. I do love that fabric on your chairs, too.
Hi Marigene, I was SO glad to read in your earlier post that your husband's cancer is in remission! Answered prayers -- what a blessing! I will continue to keep him in my thoughts and prayers, and I'm sure others will too.
Your table is so pretty and wonderfully cheerful. :) I love those nutcracker plates; the colors are wonderful! Also love the vivid, tartan plaid table runner, flatware, and stemware. I really like lots of color in our home, especially at Christmas.
Thank you for your visit and compliment to Mr. Duncan, Marigene. :-D It's always so nice to hear from you, and I hope you and Howard have a wonderful Christmas and Best Wishes for the coming year.
Big Hugs,
Denise
