Today I’m joining 14 other table stylists

Come on in and enjoy some sparkling red, silver and green!

I love the sparkle of silver and crystal

with its beautiful sheen!

Let’s eat, drink and be merry!

We must have had a visit from a Christmas fairy…

Shiny silver packages the fairy did bring

There are even silver packages on each napkin ring!

The table runner is decorated with trees

and sparkling snowflakes

Such a bright and happy mood it creates

It gets magical at night when the lights come on

Pretend you don’t see pumpkins in the background,

I promise now they’re gone!

    Merry Tuesday, Jenna. As always, your poems are fun and creative! I love your Christmas Sparkle table of red, silver, and green! The silver and crystal centerpiece is lovely and it does sparkle. The let’s eat, drink, and be merry plates are perfect for the Christmas season. The fairy even brought silver packages and napkin rings to adorn your table. This is a lovely table runner and it provides more sparkle. I can’t believe how quickly Christmas is upon us! Wishing you a wonderful day, Jenna ❤️🎄

    Love the table sparkle, Jenna! The silver with green and red are so beautiful, and you’re right, the glow of lights at night really makes it shine. The table runner is super nice with the beaded design. The mantel looks perfect with coordinated design. I love how silver mimics the looks of ice, amd using crystal makes it that much brighter.
    Jenna, thank you for being part of this blog hop, always with your creatively artistic touches!

    What a sparkly table! I love seeing ornaments on candlesticks and always forget to do that! What really caught my eye is how you folded your table runner – very clever! Your mantle looks so pretty, too – enjoy the holiday season!

    Jenna, I love the playfulness of your table. Of course, anything peppermint always catches my eye and when it is paired with some polka dots, it says whimsy for me. The shiny silver is perfect bringing it all together. The sparkle, confetti runner with streamers and polka dots mirrors the playfulness of polka dot ornaments. Even the gift wrapped box napkin rings are so festive. Time to have a holiday party. Merry Christmas, Jenna.

  14. Love the sparkle Jenna. Anything that sparkles catches my eye. The drum napkins rings are darling. Silver, red and green are so pretty together. More sparkle with the centerpiece and runner. The silver and crystal are so elegant. Your mantel looks so pretty coordinating in with your table. Always a pleasure hopping along with you. Happy Holidays.

  15. Jenna, your table does sparkle! I always like your round entry table. Clever to fold the runner as you did. Your mantel look great! I’ve not done anything but bring the tree in and place it in a corner. Hope to make progress this week. Happy Holidays!

    Good Morning Jenna! I’m sorry to be late, I was out the door first thing yesterday morning with appointments and errands. I’m behind in my decorating after being out of town for Thanksgiving. I always enjoy seeing your festive foyer tables! Love the sparkle and shine from the crystal, silver and packages. Adorable Eat, Drink and Be Merry plates and I love how you have your table runner folded for your table for two. I’m chuckling over ‘pretend you don’t see pumpkins in the background’. Our pumpkins haven’t made it to the compost pile yet are still out on the patio…they got snowed on yesterday! Wishing a Merry Wednesday ❤️🎄

  17. Very sweet table for your entry.

  18. Ann Krucek says:

  19. Decorated? Halfway. Wrapped? Nope. – Agghhh! Thanks for the beautiful nudge to get busy.

  20. Kim Goddard says:

    Jenna, this is just so pretty – I adore all the sparkle on your table! The table runner is lovely and the plates are perfect for a Christmas table. I love love the crystal and silver with touches of red in the centerpiece and so sweet of the fairy to drop of shiny silver presents. The napkin rings are adorable and your mantle is gorgeous. As always, I love the prose. Decorated and wrapped – barely started lol. Merry December Jenna and wishing you a beautiful Christmas season!

  21. Lynne says:

    Such fun to see so much sparkle on the table, Jenna. I’m fond of Mercury glass candlesticks and use mine all the time. The Waterford crystal is gorgeous and really contributes to the beauty of the setting. Like you, I am decorated for Christmas and hope to really enjoy a stressless season. Wishing you and your family a very merry holiday season.

    I love your Christmas table Jenna!
    The silver and crystal are gorgeous!
    I enjoyed how you folded the table runner. What a great idea. Then adding ornaments to the crystal was the icing on the cake!
    Fabulous inspiration! Thank you!
    Merry December!

  23. Your tablescape is full of cheer!

  24. Jenna, I love the sparkling welcome that greets all who come to your house during the holidays! The crystal and silver are stunning and I love the pop of red that really gives the table that holiday emphasis. The deep green crackers are festive. I’ve never used crackers but I enjoy seeing them as a fun touch. I love that you carried the theme onto the mantel. Merry Christmas! (hoping the third time’s the charm in posting a comment)
