Now at this place setting...I'm using a Christmas ball as a napkin ring...yes, I know it's not Christmas green

Now, at our imaginary dinner, we'll serve soup...so here's the soup bowl..
**

Then we'll have an imaginary salad in this decorative plate from HOME INTERIORS that says it's not for food use, but only for decorative purposes...so don't eat your salad...

And here's the dinner plate for our imaginary dinner... the pattern is named 17th century!

And in case you're still with me, check out the cup & saucer plus the Christmas Tree wine stem on the glass....
Thank you for coming by my imaginary dinner and I hope you left with a full tummy of imaginary vittles...no calories involved ...♥♥♥♥♥

I just love that red dinnerware and the salad plates...The centerpiece is way too cute! Thank you for sharing this darling tablescape with us:-)

Ah, I do see why you like my carolers. These are exquisite, and I say that three are just perfect. There was only my father, my mother and me in our family.

Girl I love your Carolers as the centerpiece..what a bargain!! Your tablescapes is just gorgeous..love the Santa plate..going to have to look for one of those..:-)loved your post today..hugs ~lynne~
Your carolers make a very interesting centerpiece. I would never have thought of that, you are way too clever. I like your wall hangings also.
Your table covering looks so old fashioned with the cut-outs and the delicate threads joining it together. Goes perfectly with a pattern named 17th century.
Love the green stems on the glassware.
If I'd have some imaginary dinners more often, I MIGHT could lose some weight!!! Love those dishes & wine glass & isn't that red cup & saucer so pretty - but I really love those carolers you got for a steal! They are gorgeous! Another pretty Bo table! And I'm like you - I just have to imagine take-out food on those plates!
Bo, I always look forward to your posts. This is so LOVELY! I don't even know where to begin to start, but I love it ALL. You did a GREAT job! I'm coming to YOUR house for Christmas. ;-)
XO,
Sheila

Hello Bo & Merry Christmas...
I'm so happy that you stopped by my blog...I always enjoy your visits!
My friend, your Christmas tablescape is gorgeous!!! Of course I'm a "lover" of red transferware so it just doesn't get any better for me...hehe! I love that Johnson Bros. pattern and I love how you mixed in the whimsical Santa plate!
I think one of my most favorite things about your beautiful table is your centerpiece! Those pewter carolers are fabulous and I can't believe that you got them for only $12.50...what a deal!!! Beautiful, beautiful table!!!
Warmest wishes...Chari (Happytodesign)
Bo,
I enjoyed your hospitality and the carolers are beautiful and what a great deal! Your table settings are each so lovely.
I have visited you before and think I followed you over from Picket's... As I arrived, I knew I have visted your lovely home. Maybe it was the tantalizing smells coming from the vittles?
Thanks for your comments and Please come again!
Beth
As far as I know, it didn't snow in my neck of the woods. It's been snowing non-stop tho and I'm not complaining as we need it.
I am totally stuffed ! You are way too cute and funny with your blog!!! I just luv the pewter carolers! CHEERS! Michele
A beautiful elegant table...the pink is so gentile.
Beautiful table! It look so festive!

Hello Bo,
This is truly gorgeous!
That color is the new Christmas green! It's being used alot for the Holidays now.
Love the family carolers. Beautiful job! ~Melissa :)
LOVE the Kiwi green...breaking with the traditional. I like that!
I also love your china!
I enjoyed your blog very much. This is my first time to participate in the tablescape Tuesday please check out my blog whiteirisdesigns.blogspot.com
You put this together perfectly Bo, I love your pink china, the little cup and saucers are so pretty,your carolers and greenery make the best centerpiece and the balls for napkin rings are genius and look so pretty, I enjoy my dinner at yours today, hugs, Kathy.
What a delight to find your blog through tablescaping! I have some faux JB, too, and dearly love it. I had the best time looking at your pretty pictures! Your centerpiece is extraordinary, along with the incredible details.
This is a beautiful table Bo, and I love the no-cal dinner that you're serving!
I love your tablecloth. I have one similar and love it but man is it a pain to iron...do you have any tips?
Bo, I want your table cloth! And you faux dishes! Oh they are beautiful! And a beautiful table setting.
Hi Boness!! What a lovely table you've set! First of all, I love that tablecloth with all of the cutwork on it! You really did get a great deal on your little carolers and they're precious! Love your dishes, the ornament napkin ring, the Christmas tree stemmed wine glasses. That's okay about the salad! I'll just slurp my soup!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Oh Bo, it is all so gorgeous! I can't believe the carolers centerpiece was so inexpensive after Chritmas -- what a nice find! I love the Santa dish, so I'd use him even if he isn't supposed to be used to serve food.
Your tabelcloth is so pretty also. Hugs, Pat
Thanks for the invite Bo, the layout was just as lovely as the meal! I had my salad, I sometimes eat before I read.......... sigh
Beautiful table!
Thanks, Bo! I enjoyed my imaginary meal! I loved your tablescape! The centerpiece is so pretty! And that tablecloth...gorgeous! Beautiful job!...Debbie
I love your red transferware - nothing faux about it. That Santa plate is beautiful - no need to use it for food - just enjoy looking at it. I did! Sally
Bo, those pewter carolers are so great looking! What a deal! You know I NEED that gorgeous Santa plate. Since you can't eat on it anyway, just send it my way, because I really need to add to my Santa collection!! That is a beautiful tablecloth too. It all looks so pretty. laurie

Hi Bo! Your tablescape is beautiful! I loved the centerpiece & what a good deal. ☺♥☺ Diane
Love your centerpiece...and the plates are so pretty! Great post.
Oh BO, I am so full girl I need a nap now..oh excuse me I just burped...Love that China where did you find it?? its all just beautiful girl..love the centerpiece you did..but then you alway do a wonderful job..thanks for the great dinner..pass me a tooth pick please...hugs and smiles Gloria
Love the table settings and the green just makes things pop! The centerpiece is great too!
Love, love, loved your china! Yummy no cal dinner too! Thank you! And we don't have to wash the dishes!
I just love your tablescape, and I love your sense of humor even more! Several of the decorative plates I inherited are labeled "not for food use" and I've always been tempted to take a walk on the wild side and eat off of them. But, I'd probably grow two heads or turn purple or something, so I have restrained myself. Your pewter centerpiece is fabulous!!! What a fantastic bargain! I just love that Santa plate. Those vibrant colors are wonderful!
Thanks for dropping by my blog. I love your dishes....I love the pattern as well as the color. I always try to get 12 place settings - you never know about breaking them (heaven forbid)! PAM
Bo...I love your china...it is gorgeous...love the scene on each plate! Salad plates are wonderful, too. Maybe if we eat our salad real fast, we can still eat it. :-) Those stems are amazing...how clever! And I'm stealing your tablecloth...it's gorgeous!

Hi Bo, thanks for your nice compliments! Love your tablescape, what pretty china, and the centerpiece is just perfect!! Kristen
Love that table cloth!!! I was eyeing it so much I almost missed the deal you got on the pewter, and I almost got choked on my salad, when you said not for food! lol
G'day from Australia. That croclery has a real vintage feel to it. Very classy - and it matches your blog background perfectly.
Beautiful table setting Bo. I love your faux china and the pewter carolers. Nice treasures you have there.
Merry CHRISTmas!
Blessings,
Sher
Bo first let me say what a beautiful dining room you have! As someone who lives in an open concept house with no dining room...I have a serious appreciation for them!! Never thought I'd miss one sooo much! And secondly I LOVE your china!! You've set a beautiful table! And who wants silly ole salad anyway? *winks* Not if it covers up such a cute santa! Lol! And high five girlfriend on the carolers score! What a deal! Everything is Christmas perfect! Vanna
Good morning Friend, LOVED your tablescape. Those toile dishes are beautiful. And I got a big smile at your delightful sense of humor. PS I never eat the salad anyway, I have to save room for the cake!!! HA
Morning, Bo! Oh, thanks for the visit! Yes, Christmas is very practical this year and I love it! You know what? I was looking again at your beautiful table and realize I have those same dishes!! I only have service for four and want another set, but can't find them. I think they're discontinued.
Be a sweetie,
shelia ;)
WOW! Bo what a BEAUTIFUL tablescape. You really outdid yourself this week! I LOVE the green! Where in the world did you find thos lime green napkins? I have searched to world over trying to find them. And your carolers, oh my goodness! WHAT A DEAL!!! Your greenery is absolutely gorgeous too! Are thos real magnolia leaves?
Good morning my friend, sure hope this finds things well in your world..the urn was fun. Dh was home and just kept shaking his head.. have a super day...

Bo, thank you so much for your visits and hugs today. Both visits were so sweet of you. We are still trying to get our minds around the fact that she is gone.
Your tablescape is beautiful. I love those Johnson Bros. dishes. Your accent in the green with the Christmas ball is just right. The centerpiece really tops it off. I love the Carolers.
Christmas hugs...Jeanne
Hi Bo
That is a lovely table. I love the red and white dishes and the cute santa salad plates...albeit for imaginary salad only. You did soooo well with your centrepiece. Just perfect.
Your wooden village looks sooooo beautiful lit up.
thank you for sharing
have a lovely evening
Judi
Hi Bo, happy Wednesday!
