A Farmhouse Christmas Tablescape by The Everyday Home

My little Roo found out the hard way that fresh cranberries just

don’t taste good. But, he was determined that they were

delicious little candies and Grammy was being mean by

not letting him eat his feel.

Two cranberries were promptly spit out.  On the floor.

And at that moment – I knew without a doubt he would

never eat a fresh cranberry again – and maybe any kind of

cranberry.  Laughing

But, he lost interest in my tablescape…and suddenly

How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and terrorizing his

little sister seemed so much more interesting.

I am absolutely thrilled to be taking part in

The Scoop on a Handmade Christmas

I have joined with 24 other bloggers.

Please make sure you visit them all for some

amazing Christmas Inspiration.

I will share the the full schedule at the end.

I promise no one will be eating and spitting out

fresh cranberries.  Or at least – I don’t think they will.

When I started mentally planning my Christmas decor

this year – I knew my kitchen would be a

simple Farmhouse Christmas theme.  Handmade and homey.

Red ticking and burlap and berries and jars and dough bowls.

My Breakfast Room table turned out exactly how I envisioned it.

Two rosemary topiaries in a vintage red, wire basket

anchored the center of the table.  I love the burlap

jingle-bell ribbon.

There were a few projects I knew I wanted to make.

Projects which were easy and not very time consuming – and most

of all – not very costly either.

The first project was to create Chalkboard Chargers.

I wanted to write the words to one of my favorite Christmas

carols around the edge.

Using four $1 plastic chargers from Dollar Tree, I simply sprayed

a few coats of black chalkboard spray paint on them.

I did mine at 10pm at night, in my jammies, in the grass.

When The Hubbs went out the next morning, he thought we had an

alien invasion that had left 12″ black crop circles on the front lawn.

Another $1 Dollar Tree white plate is sandwiched between a

pink and white transfer plate.

I also knew I wanted to add a very timeless look of fresh

cranberries in a Mason Jar with a floating candle.

A large, medium and small jar was surrounded by fresh balsam,

magnolia leaves and silver jingle-bells.

One of the things I love most about these “candleholders” is

that they last a long time.  You can create this look for

very little money and effort.

Did you happen to tour The Everyday Home yesterday for the

2013 Home for the Holidays Christmas Tour?

If you did, you may have noticed that I used a lot of small pine

discs I had my son cut for me.

(he loves his Mama!) Smile

I used them on the small trees on the mantel…

I used them on the mantel garland…

… as stocking tags –

– and also on the lanterns in the table centerpiece.

Yes, he cut me a LOT of these little discs.  Smile

But, one of the ways I used them which makes me smile is…

Coasters on the Farmhouse Christmas Table.

Love.

Finally, inexpensive garland was cut into quarters and

made into mini wreaths which work perfectly as

“napkin rings” to hold the napkins.

 

So, you see.

Handmade doesn’t have to be expensive.

Or, time consuming.

Or, something you want to spit out on the floor.

 

It can be small touches here and there.

Made from love.

 

Thank you for letting me share my

Farmhouse Christmas Table with you and

my Handmade touches.  I will be back next Thursday,

Dec 12th to share more of my Kitchen decorated in

Handmade Farmhouse Style.

    So very pretty, Barb. I love the simplicity of cranberries in a jar. I can’t say I’ve ever tasted a fresh cranberry, but I’ll trust Roo’s take on it and avoid them!

    I laughed out loud about the aliens! I also took a pic of the mason jar/cranberries. I keep a decor album in my phone. When reading blogs, I snap a pic of ideas I want to use. The dollar store charger idea is ingenious. Thanks for sharing.
