I love the traditional Christmas themed dishes, I think they add so much charm to the table, and they are such a festive touch.
But I also love unique themes and non-traditional colors for Christmas and I came across some really different plates, serving dishes, and place settings while surfing the web for Christmas dishes:




These plates below are more traditional but I love the idea of mixing the different patterns to create unique place settings:

This set too is the traditional holly, and I usually don't go for everything matching perfectly, but there is something about these hefty-looking pieces that I find so appealing.

From Ireland:

Well, these are more of a traditional pattern, but I love the square serving pieces:



From Sweden:


Look at this pretty tablescape to celebrate St. Lucia Day (December 13). My husband's family is Swedish and I think since St. Lucia Day falls on a Sunday this year I will mark the day and celebrate it with traditional Swedish fare but...

...I will be using my own TJ Maxx finds:
And I'm hoping to find these more colorful Johnson Brothers salad/dessert plates to compliment them!

And I wouldn't mind having this Southwest Christmas theme grace my table for Christmas dinner! Now this is unique!

I have joined Susan @ Between Naps On The Porch for Tablescape Thursday, she always sets a lovely, most unique table and she always generously shares her ideas!

I can't wait to see all your creations too!
oh those are some beautiful dishes! I loved all the different styles.

what a wonderful post! It's fun to view so many pretty dishes in one post! Mary :O)
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful dishes Eileen, I love them all and so glad I don't have to choose among them. Your set is lovely, you must have cupboards full of dishes......Hugs to Jayden and Mia :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to show all those differnt dishes, I loved them, only bad thing is makes a person want to run out and buy more dishes and more dishes and I am running out of room to store them.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteHi Eileen! They are all so pretty ~ if I had to choose, I think the red and whites and the Chickadees are my favorites.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing! xo
I loved seeing all of these plates, Eileen. I think my favorite might be the green one from Ireland. But I also like YOUR plates! You got such a great deal on them.
ReplyDeleteXO,
