Day 3 of 12 Days of Christmas is all about the tablescapes.
I don't usually make my table up because (1) it's just in our kitchen - we don't have a dining room and (2) we never eat at our table or host any holiday parties so it's not necessary.
Well, this year, I was hosting my cookie party and I just felt like it...especially once I made those snow globes. I was just in the spirit to attempt a tablescape.
Now, don't get any ideas! It's not anything compared to some of those I've seen out there.
There are some absolutely gorgeous table settings out there!

What do you think? Gorg, no?
Your answer should be yes.
So here's my first attempt ever at a holiday tablescape. And I tried my hardest to only use what I had on hand.
I used 3 of the new snow globes I had made.
I used candle holders that I had been given as a gift and put white ornaments and/or trees in them.
I used some of the extra trees I had purchased for snow globes.
And I had a couple of silver ornaments that I used.
Then I used candlesticks as little props for the pieces for different heights.
For the table as a whole, I used a white tablecloth I had on hand and a large piece of faux linen fabric as a liner. I just folded it to make it lay straight down the middle.
Then when I set the table, I used some little beaded floral accents and holiday headbands that I picked up at Wal-Mart.
Not too shabby if I do say so myself...
I was pleased, but next time I think I'll go all out!
And it looks like I'll have to start planning around Halloween in order to have the items that I need!
It's a little plain so next year I think I'll add more color.
