Hello sweet friends !
I hope your Christmas Season is off to a wonderful start. Ours is fine, as I will not be shopping, since we are going to NYC and Miami soon, therefore, I promised I will bring my C'mas gifts from our trip.
I created a PINK Christmas table for a change, as I heard a friend say that it will be a 'challenge' to have a different holiday spread, besides the classic colors, or even the glitz kind. It prompted me to meet the challenge and create this table using pinks, lilacs, the antique, pink rose china from my belloved Mil, "Czech-Bohemian" wine stems, my lace tablecloth with a pink topper under it... etc.
Even Mr. Living loved it and for been PINK (not his favorite) it's a surprise !
Here goes, you can see for yourself.

| I started spreading a pink topper and my lace tablecloth on top as canvas for my Pink table creation. The centerpiece is arranged with white pinecones and gold tree ornaments. The chargers are my 'Natchtmann-Dancing Stars,' Bavarian crystal; because I didn't want to put anything that will take away from the softness of the pastel colors. The china is an antique heirloom from dear MIL and has pink roses and I layered it with my 'red-pinkish' hues in the transfer-ware dishes. |

| In this image you can see I paired my pink and purple "Czech-Bohemian" wine stems, with the pink and purple water glasses as well. |

 |
| The dark-pink pretty Orchid plant I won at a 'plant exchange' a month ago. Since it's quite tall I couldn't use it as a centerpiece. |
 |
| Isn't my pink orchid lovely? |
 |
| The candles in the table lamp are pink, the evening light makes them look orangey. |
 |
| I kept the balance with my dear 'gold reindeer' juxtaposed with the pink orchid. |
 |
| My dear Mil's heirloom lovely china, with pink roses must be more then 70 years old and it was made in the USA. |
 |
| The wine stem in pink is "Czech-Bohemian" paired with a pink water glass which I've had them for a very long time. |
 |
| I placed in the table, as Christmas element my Italian porcelain toy horse I bought so many years ago and it's one of my favorite holiday pieces I own. |
