I started out at Mikasa... but the shipping was extraordinary...so I found free shipping at Pfaltzgraff. Their plates were a dollar more per plate, but that kept the overall price way down. So excited about that {just a simple thing, but for $40 including tax, I'll have a really fun tablesetting for Sunday brunches when my kids are all home. <br />*Have a wonderful Thanksgiving week with your family*<br />~MariaMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196112590905903539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86840151648374849.post-80770566361008012872010-11-21T20:38:02.539-08:002010-11-21T20:38:02.539-08:00Hi Anita!

Oh what fun! First let me say you and your mother are both just so gorgeous! I can tell from your photo and your table you both share a beautiful sense of style. I love all the individual greenery at each setting. So lovely! I also really love the other table with the christmas tree and fruit in the middle too.

Oh I must agree...Hi Anita!<br />and a Hello to your Mom!<br />Oh I must agree with everyone here! Your tablescape is so lovely. It really has a wonderful Christmas spirit!<br />Each tablesetting is beautiful... from the silver goblets filled with greenery to the mother of pearl butter spreaders. The MIkasa {I agree with Barbara above} do have a soft wintery feeling to them. The silver chargers also add such elegance to the table.<br />All is beautiful.<br />So many of the tablescapers went all out as well... such great seasonal touches... and really eye catching colors too!<br /><br />I'm curious about what lea wrote above... the tips from December and the tree topper hint. Do you already have that post in your sidebar? So curious :o)<br />Enjoy a wonderful weekend Anita~ <br />Thank you for photographing this even to share with all of us !<br />You and your mom are very special people... beautiful inside and outside ♥<br />~MariaMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196112590905903539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86840151648374849.post-10324269033719765112010-11-12T19:44:48.653-08:002010-11-12T19:44:48.653-08:00Your table is stunning, Anita, beautiful china, sp...Your table is stunning, Anita, beautiful china, sparkling silver and crystal...that centerpiece is very striking, not overkill, at all.<br />There are many very talented tablescapers in your area, all beautiful tables.Marigenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00313503976938859618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86840151648374849.post-55588407374203566612010-11-11T20:34:35.836-08:002010-11-11T20:34:35.836-08:00Hi Anita,
