Holiday Tablescape Inspiration

December 14, 2016

With Christmas less than two weeks away, it’s time to start thinking about your Holiday Tablescape.  If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I take my tablescapes very seriously.  I start planning them months in advance; I’ve also been known to set the table weeks before Christmas and then not let anyone touch it until the magical day arrives.
