Tablescape # 57 *The Christmas Cardinal*

 Hello everyone, 
ARE YOU HAVING FUN YET? 
I'm having a great time with my holiday decoration.  
I love this tablescape. This little jewel of a table has been in the planning stage since last December.
AFTER CHRISTMAS SALE 2011
I FOUND THE RED CARDINAL NAPKINS.
 The Christmas Cardinal has a very special significance and that is the reason that you find so many Christmas Cardinal Decorations .
It is said that the Cardinal became known as the Christmas Bird because of the brilliant red color in the male species. 
 The Christmas Cardinal is a symbol of hope and the brilliant red color is a reminder for us to focus on our faith.

 When the Christmas tree ornaments started to arrive at TM around August, I knew I had to buy these adorable Red Cardinals tree ornaments. 
 I love setting the tea table in the living room, and especially at Christmas time.  
 Peace,Hope and Joy 
 Ingrid Bergman is still blooming in my garden. And I added some Pyracantha foliage with red sparkly decor and a Red Cardinal in my favorite tulip vase as the centerpiece.




 Dinner by the fireplace and the angel Christmas tree
Life is very Joyous.

  4. What a pretty table! I love all the cardinal-themed items, as they remind me of a dear bird-loving friend who wrote a book on cardinals. Sadly, she is no longer with us, so this was a lovely reminder. I especially love the centerpiece you created for this table!

  5. I adore those napkins and what a pretty table with all the red birds! We have cardinals galore in the garden and love watching both the brilliantly colored males as well as the more muted females. That table would look lovely in my breakfast room with the real birds outside!
