I used a mix of my fine Lenox china with some of my mom's china from long ago, and laid it all out on a rich chocolate brown table cloth. To highlight the center decorations, I used a crocheted runner/doily.
My favorite little vintage style sled painted aqua graces the center of the table. In the background, in front of the windows, you can see my little Christmas tree in a red transferware bowl sitting on an antique wicker table with an oak top.

Hi Cleo, Your winter table is so pretty. I love your vintage sled in the middle. I love looking at the old things. Some bring back memories of a childhood and some bring back memories of how we celebrated back then. I appreciate your visiting right now. Have a wonderful day. Hugs and Prayers your Missouri Friend.
Hi Cleo1 Oh, I love your pretty table! I agree with Shirley - I love that darling little sled as your centerpiece. Your dishes are beautiful, love the crocheted piece! It's just beautiful. Thanks for popping in to see me and I think your suggestion about not painting is the best.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
What an exiting table! Love the color combination. Pretty bowl of copper ornaments, and your centerpiece sled with trees is wonderful. That is one gorgeous ladle! Your beautiful dishes are perfect for winter, and I'm loving a dark underlayer this year too. Shows off the pretty linens! (Love the great comment you left!) Happy Christmas!
