Yesterday I stopped at Micheal’s and purchased inexpensive Chargers (on sale for $1) and came home and painted them with chalk board paint. Today I wrote our names and Merry Christmas in different languages on each. I used a vintage bed spread to cover the table, votives in jars wrapped with a little bakers twine, a crystal tree given to us by my mom and glassware purchased a long time ago at American Rag Cie in Los Angleles.

| The Advent Calendar was looking a little empty…so as the cards began filling the mailbox, I started to hang them in the spaces that once held the bags filled with little gifts. One more to go… |

Annie, Taking a few moments of quiet for myself and got completely drawn into your world again. Love the painted chargers. The Christmas cards look so cute pinned up on the rope. I am trying that next year for sure. Not only are all your ideas unique, but your photos are so pretty. Merry Christmas!
Oh you're so creative Annie, I love your table setting. Have a lovely day!
I will proudly say 'I knew you when' after you become a world famous decorator…Merry Christmas to you and your family, Annie!

Hi Annie! I am just catching up on my favorite blogs this morning as I am finally relaxed. My best friend had the most beautiful table setting on Christmas eve and now I know where she got her inspiration, your blog. She wrapped the silverware in white linens and twine just like you did. She has never followed blogs till I started blogging and now she follows a few blogs, and yours is one of her favorites. I thought I would tell you that. She is not one to leave comments so I will leave them for her. Jackie
I'm glad I was able to make your day a little brighter! And, I must say, like Jacquelyn, I have many friends that I think you inspire
