So it has taken me until Sunday evening to get this post ready.
I am using my favorite aqua color in my kitchen for Christmas. You may have seen my aqua mantle here.
My aqua colored dishes are not new and many of you have seen me use aqua on numerous tablescapes but I am adding lots of sparkle to the mix for Christmas.
I found the aqua stems and ornaments to use in my centerpiece at Michael's this year.
The aqua trees in my centerpiece are new from Hobby Lobby.
Merry Christmas - Judy.

Judy, I knew it your post just from the thumbnail photo b/c of your lover for aqua! This is so beautiful. I am always drawn to anything aqua so I really like this table. Looks wonderful with the sparkle too. Dianne
Very non-traditional color, but oh my, so very gorgeous! The cone trees are so elegant.
Hi Judy! Oh, my, your table is so gorgeous! The aqua color is so pretty and I love your centerpiece with those pretty trees.
I'm sure I'll have some precious little hands touching things all of my house! I can't wait!
Merry Chritmas and thanks for popping in to see me.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Just beautiful! I understand about the inertia. I have kind of been going through the motions, but it is hard to find the joy and fun. But we do have to keep trying!
Judy,, love love love this table. Love love did I say I love it? I am wanting to do something turquoise for NY's and you have given me sooo many ideas. I totally love the trees. and the glasses and silver.. I wish you the merriest of Christmases with many blessings this season and the next year, too.
Such a beautiful tablescape! So perfect for Christmas! I love the aqua color, so very pretty! Merry Christmas to you!

Judy, your table is gorgeous. I love the blue stemware, and those Christmas trees are beautiful! Such a great color. Merry Christmas to you! :)
I love your aqua color scheme! Such a beautiful table setting! I enjoy using non-conventional colors at Christmas! Hugs, Leena
Hi Judy, I was in a meeting all Friday morning, then came out to the news, and my weekend fell apart immediately. I couldn't really function at all. My table was set but it seemed so unimportant. But I'm so glad you shared this GORGEOUS setting with us! The aqua color is so beautiful and the sparkly touches make it feel like a winter wonderland. Merry Christmas! Linda
So pretty! so festive. Our hearts are so full. No one can explain any of it.

Oh this is beautiful! I'm glad you were able to pull it together. I know the Sandy Hook tragedy has affected all of us. It gives you pause and a need to reflect. Sometimes the things we do seem so trivial, but we must go on and live our lives. I absolutely love the centerpiece. The trees rise out of it majestically and the beautiful accent around them sparkles wonderfully! I love how you dressed out the dinnerware with the napkins and ornaments. You are ready for the holiday!
Merry Christmas!

Love these colors. I posted a turquoise and red theme last year.
It's so magical and festive. Beautiful centerpiece as well. Aqua is a beautiful color and you have captured an elegant look. Merry Christmas.
What a stunning table, the colors are wonderful!
Yes, what a tragedy. After our family party Sat., all the families went to Mass to pray for those grieving. God help them.
Thanks for linking to Let's Dish, and have a very Merry Christmas!
Isn't it just PERFECT when you can uses dishes you already have and turn them into something extra special and different for Christmas??? I love that! This is a really good tutorial for those tablescapers just starting out to know you can use the same dishes in many different ways! I haven't bought any new for a long time. I tend to use the same ones over and over again anyway! Your centerpiece is rockin', and I love the way you used the ornaments and sprays on the napkins. Very snazzy!!! I know what you mean about time just kind of standing still after last Friday's tragic and senseless action in Connecticut. I was glued to the TV ALL day long, waiting and watching and wondering along with the rest of the country. I think this will go down as another one of those days when you can recount exactly where you were when you first heard the news. Sad, but true. I'm sitting here listening to Barry Manilow singing Christmas songs and hoping for a calmer, more peaceful, more agreeable nation. I know I'm just gonna get coal in my stocking, but I sure would love to have the gift of peace under the tree. Have a blessed and merry Christmas, Judy!
Your table is gorgeous. I love seeing non traditional colors used for Christmas. Have a Merry Christmas, sweet friend.
Hugs,
Laura
