Happy Tuesday, Friends! Welcome to the Christmas Tablescape Blog Hop hosted by dear Rita from Panoply. My homespun holiday breakfast table setting celebrates all things gingerbread from vintage handmade napkins to a set of plates I scored at a yard sale and a gingerbread house makeover
If you've hopped over from visiting Mary from Home is Where the Boat Is, welcome! I'm so happy you've stopped by! The inspiration for my Christmas table began with this brand new set of plates I recently scored for $3 at a yard sale.
Although gingerbread decor is very trendy right now, I've had an affection for it for as long as I can remember. I made these whimsical napkins in the 90s when my kids were Littles!
As soon as I eyed the set of plates, I knew they would pair beautifully with my jadeite.
I really love the different cookie recipes on each plate.
A few weeks ago, I shared the details for this dollar store gingerbread house glow-up. You can see the before, here!
Would you like peppermint in your Godiva cocoa?
The adorable cinnamon gingerbread men and heart ornaments are another yard sale find that I've had for ages.
The painted candy cane and gingerbread boy box are previous thrift store finds and the mini salt and pepper shakers are from a Cracker Barrel holiday season past.
I sewed the gingerbread men and candy cane pillows the same holiday season that I crafted the handmade napkins.
Happy Homespun Holidays!
Here's a sneak peek of more Christmas decor in my vintage kitchen--stay tuned to see the rest later this month!

Your theme is so cute, and when I saw your photos on Instagram, I couldn't wait to visit your blog and read your post! I love the little recipe plates: what a fantastic find!

ReplyDeleteHi Cecilia, Your gingerbread table captured my heart. I adore gingerbread and you scored big on the purchase of your cookie plates. You are right, they are gorgeous paired with your jadeite collection. The gingerbread men and house details are such sweet and charming touches. The gingerbread napkins are so darling and the peppermint sticks add such a playful touch. I love the pillow that you created too. It certainly is perfect for this gingerbread tablescape. Merry Christmas!!!
ReplyDeleteCecilia, what a great theme and you carried it out so beautifully! The gingerbread plates do look fabulous with your jadeite and how cool that you had the napkins and pillow from years ago. The gingerbread men and house are adorable and so are those sweet S & P shakers. Love the "baking spirits bright" sign for the table - how perfect. It was great hopping with you and I wish you a glorious Christmas season!
ReplyDeleteAdorable Cecilia! What a sweet find your baking plates were! I love that they have the recipes on them and they’re perfectly paired with your jadeite and adorable napkins.

ReplyDeleteCecilia, I am in love with your gingerbread theme this year! What a great find in those plates! They match all your jadeite, and prompted you to pull from your archives with the napkins and pillow. I'm a such a softy for things of the past, especially when they're from our own! All the little additions - the gingerbread glow up, the napkin rings (too cute!), and the salt & pepper shakers. Just adorable. This is another table I think my J would love. Thanks so much for bringing the baking joy theme to the table i nthis Christmas hop!
ReplyDeleteCecilia, please save me a seat at your table! It is pure holiday joy! As a sweets blogger, those plates are perfection! What a great find, and they do compliment your jadeite perfectly. I love the gingerbread napkins, and your attention to detail with the gingerbread man and candy cane stick with each coffee cup is so fun. Wishing you a very happy Christmas!
ReplyDeleteCecilia, what a cute theme for your holiday table! All the gingerbread men are adorable, and the fact that you've collected them over a number of years makes them more special. I know your family treasures seeing the napkins you made and remembers many wonderful meals with them. Hot chocolate is the perfect addition! Merry Christmas
