Christmas Lunch Buffet



Hi friends!
I am sure all of you folks are pretty busy with last minute finishing touches to your holiday decor! As for me, I think I am running out of time with a gazillion things that are still pending.
I have yet to decorate my front porch, pick up my daughter from college, and finish buying  the remaining gifts.
I have finished  gathering all the things that I need for my Christmas lunch buffet and I thought I will share my tablescape with you today:
My white pitcher filled with breadsticks

My favorite snowball cookies in a cute enamel salt cellar

Of course, no tablescape is ever complete without some candle magic

I love cinnamon scented candles especially during holiday time

I tied the white brocade luncheon napkins with striped red and white grosgrain ribbon


Added a sprig of evergreen from my backyard and a snowflake from a holiday craft pick as an accent


Cranberries in mini tart molds


Cocktail forks for little tidbits

The forks are tied together in baker's twine

Love the adorable little cherub keeping guard over my lunch buffet

White flat wares inside a blue mason jar makes a pretty statement at my buffet

Ribbon in Christmas colors and a snowflake accent carries the holiday theme nicely


Simple every day elements 


Makes setting up a holiday buffet so much fun

A view from another angle



Tabletop Christmas tree for my kitchen


A slate ornament hangs from the cabinet knobs


A view of my Christmas kitchen all decked out for the holiday

I love decorating my home for Christmas! The holiday colors makes everything so bright and cheerful especially when there is a raging winter storm outside


The mini Christmas tree sits inside a decoupaged Frenchy pot. Click HERE for the decoupaged transfer method

 I added these crystals from an old chandy as ornaments


Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a tour of my Christmas kitchen!
Wishing everyone a warm, safe and a very Merry Christmas!
Also, my heartfelt thanks to sweet Maria Elena @ Our Home away from Home and Kathy @ A Delightsome Life
for highlighting my Christmas Orange Garland at their weekly linky parties



~Hugs, Poppy~

    Beautiful and so perfectly put in place. Love the white. I was just given a number of pieces of milk glass. Looking forward to decorating next Christmas with "white". But I will be sure to bring out a few pieces before then.

    Such a pretty display on your tray!! And your tree is adorable. Love the crystals hanging from your kitchen tree - I took a chandelier apart years ago and hung all the crystals on my gold tree - it was so pretty!!
