Remember the little church I found recently at my local Wegman's grocery store? It's the inspiration and centerpiece for this table with a rustic and casual feel.designed by Chari @ Happy To Design to give bloggers

At the Dollar store I found some grape wine wreath that had this greenery attached. I just used the greenery and saved the grape wine wreaths for another project.
The Napkins were 70% off at Kohl's and the silverware is 'Winterberry'.
The 'place cards' are actually just from a Christmas Post-it pad and I used pine cones to hold them.
I love the little mice figure bringing home the Christmas tree. It was a gift I received several years ago and I thought it worked with the scale of the church and the tree.

I wanted to try something that used a light sage green table cloth for my last Christmas tablescape and I added silver and crystal items.
The silver angel came from Marshall's and the trees I found at 60% off at Hobby Lobby. The crystal nutcracker candlesticks are from the Christmastree shop.
I used footed crystal candle plates as salad plates and crystal bowls, both also from the Christmastree shop at only a couple of dollars a piece.The little crystal salt cellars are from a local consignment shop - I got 6 of them for $3.
I'm hoping that some of my Christmas tablescapes over the last three days and during Decembers Tablescape Tuesday's gave you some inspiration.
I'm inspired each week by all the talented and creative participants of Tablescape Tuesday.
My wish for you is that your Holiday gatherings and meals will be just what you imagined and that memories are build for years to come.

Wow Tam! Your tables are beautiful! I can't decide which one I like best! I am definitely inspired! Hope you have a blessed day! Lauralu :)
Both of these tablescapes are just stunning and so different. I love that. The first one with the wonderful church is so pretty and whimsical. I love all the wonderful detail. The second one is so reverent. The angel and the trees are stunning and all of the dishes and crystal are just fabulous. Both are just lovely. Hugs, Marty
