Hard Candy Christmas


Today is Tablescape Thursday over at BNOTP! If you have not been there yet, today is the day! If you are having Christmas dinner at your house this year and you need help decorating, there is no better place to visit! There are hundreds of links to blogs about decorating for the holidays. I know it will give you some good ideas.


 My formal dinning has a peppermint theme that I try and add to every year.



These red glass candle holders on each end are a new edition to my tablescape this year. I found two of these at Ross of all places, very inexpensive.

  2. I think a peppermint theme is a great idea! I have never seen it done, either. When you added the silver, it gave it an air of elegance on top of the fun theme. Great one!
