Nutcracker Tablescape

Williams-Sonoma came out with a wonderful set of nutcracker plates but retired them.  To my surprise, I found these adorable nutcracker salad plates at World Market this year and so I got a set of plates and napkin rings.

The wonderful thing about World Market is that they've brought this collection back year after year.  It includes small juice glasses, mugs and serving platters.  I wish they would come out with coordinating dinner plates.  A peppermint swirled plate is underneath the nutcracker plate.

My centerpiece is an advent wreath with pearlized white candles and rich red poinsettias that sparkle. Starting from the beginning of December, a single candle is lit each week as a reminder for all of Christ's return.

Here is the advent wreath with the candles lit.
I love how the candlelight brings out the shimmer of the poinsettias and red napkins.

I have a few snowflakes hanging from my dining room light fixture.
They glimmer and sparkle.
 It was hard to capture them in a photo because of how light my dining room walls are.

So here is a closeup pic.  Most of the snowflakes are from Pottery Barn a few years ago and the tealight holder is from HomeGoods.
