Hi there, Friends! Today, I'm joining over 20 bloggers for the Christmas Tablescape tour hosted by my dear friend Rita at Panoply. So pull up a chair to my nature-inspired table and let's dish...

If you've hopped over after visiting Ann from Corner of Plaid and Paisley, welcome! Last week I shared some cozy handmade accents from my kitchen in my vintage Christmas decor home tour. Today, you'll notice more of my vintage decor in the dining room paired with simple greenery and nature-inspired accents.

When I scored these charming Corelle dishes at a thrift store over the summer, I knew immediately that I would use them for my next Christmas tablescape. The Calloway Holiday pattern was manufactured in 2000 and was one I hadn't seen before. I was instantly drawn to the ivy tree in the urn, sweet ribbons, and cardinals.

I love decorating with groups of three and scored both the trio of wreaths and the snow-dusted trees on clearance at Hobby Lobby last year after the holidays.

For those of you wondering Where's the jadeite?, I paired it with a vintage bottle rack to create a simple cocoa bar. Sprinkles, anyone?

  1. Cecilia, those Christmas Corelle plates were a great find. Like you, I've never seen that pattern before. They work well with your nature table theme, the frosted trees, wreaths, and the green with white pinecone etched glasses. The photo of the mantel through the chandelier looks great. I love photos like that :)
    Merry Christmas hugs,

  2. I adore your white trees! And your plates are so pretty, too! Did you fill the little vials with cocoa, etc yourself, or buy them that way? Love that idea! Happy Holidays!

  4. Those Corelle Christmas plates are such a fabulous find. Love the design. The frosted trees look so festive. Love the wreaths on the wall. The view of your mantel is priceless. I also love the overhead shot of your pretty table. Your Jadeite collection is so pretty. The cocoa bar is perfect with how you set it up. I will take some sprinkles. Happy holidays Cecilia.

  5. Aw! Your table is so pretty, and I first notice all the pretty winter whites. I love whites this time of the year because, like the flocking on your trees. it reminds me of snow! Your jadite hot chocolate bar is perfect for Christmas. What a nice collection you have! Your mantel with the typewriter is so cute...I need to share that with my daughter who's a writer. She will love that idea!

    Merry Christmas!

  7. Cecilia, what a lovely and festive table setting. I would have never guessed the plates were Corelle; assumed they were some very expensive china. So pretty! They look great paired with the stripe linens and greenery. And what a good idea to add the scent of rosemary to the table. You’ve inspired me to tuck branches into my evergreen centerpiece. Happy holidays!

  8. Those are the sweetest plates with the little red birds. I love the birds eye view of your table. It is always fun to see you use your pretty Jadeite. Love all your pieces and the cute cocoa bar.
    Your mantel is darling with the vintage typewriter adored with flowers!
    Have a wonderful Christmas, Cecilia!

  9. Cecelia, your table has such a beautiful, vintage, festive feel. It is so soft and inviting. I love the white trees and your green glassware, it all comes together beautifully. Your jadeite cocoa station is so cute!!! It reminds me of the cups I used to have cocoa in at my grandmother’s house❤️ Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!

  11. Hi there!!! I absolutely LOVE the way you dressed that typewriter! That is something you don't see everyday, and I'm totally in love with it! So fresh!!! Truly my Pinterest pick of the day!!!!!!!! And the sprig of rosemary at each place setting is a really nice touch. It all works so nicely with your dishes. I didn't even know Corelle made a Christmas series!!! Wow! I learn something new every day here!

    This is a beautiful tribute to the season. I wish you and yours a very happy and safe holiday!

  12. I love those dishes, Cecilia! Corelle is so light, which makes it nice for handling and storing. Your tabletop elements work perfectly in your dining (I really like the chairs around the table with this tablescape!). Cypress on the table center and those little votive glasses look so good with the little trees you were able to get on clearance at HL. The little test tube vials for hot cocoa are adorable on the jadeite cocoa stand. A very Joyeux Noel to you!

It really creates a cozy Christmas feel. Your Jadite hot cocoa bar is so fun! Tucking the amaryllis blooms into the typewriter was such a fun touch. Always a pleasure to join you for our blog hops!

  19. Cecilia, those Corelle dishes are darling and were a great thrifting score! Green is my favorite color, so I'm loving all of the pops of green on your table. I absolutely adore how you styled the vintage typewriter on the buffet. So cute! And of course I always look forward to seeing your coveted jadeite collection. It makes a lovely hot cocoa bar! It's always fun hopping with you. Merry Christmas! Rebecca (Zucchini Sisters)
