When I spotted this idea on Courtney's blog,
I immediately drove to the nearest
Lowe's to buy these ornaments.
I wanted to copy this idea
for an upcoming dinner party.
Sadly the store only had
three white reindeer in stock.
They did however have plenty
in this evergreen shade.
Not the table setting I originally had in mind,
but the evergreen version offered
a delightful compliment to
a casual table set for a girlfriend's lunch.
Traditional red and green
with a touch of tartan
instead of the winter white
of Courtney's beautiful tablescape.
An antique dough bowl filled with
Christmas greens, pinecones, berries,
tartan balls, and a wooden heart
served as centerpiece.
Quilted mats, woven textiles, pewter, and tartan
gave the table a cozy warmth for
our cool December days.
Suitable for a tasty lunch of corned beef
and cabbage with a tri-color salad,
all prepared by my personal "chef".
Cherry pie tartlets
for a sweet finish.

The "chef" has been baking bread
for the holidays ~ a loaf for each guest to take home
along with their reindeer ornament.
Spending time with special friends
is the gift of the season for me.

I'm still crushing on Courtney's version, so stay tuned.
I called around and found some sets of
the white reindeer at another store.
