Southern Fireside

It is still pretty cool here today. Glad to have a fire in the fireplace. Definitely time to stay in and have a cozy supper by the fire for today’s edition of Tablescape Thursday.

I started with a small table in front of the fire. So glad I got a red tablecloth. It has had so many great uses.

I added my gold, fluted chargers.

Then, I added my Mikasa Ribbon and Holly china.

    I love Mikasa’s Ribbon Holly! My sister has it, and I think it’s so pretty. I also love a fireside table for two. Yours looks so inviting that I think I might just have to plan one with the husband this weekend.
