Christmas on the Server
December 10, 2012 by admin • 25 Comments
Hello Friends, are you keeping warm? It is a chilly December day on the plains and some hot tea or hot chocolate sure sounds good right now. I have to tell you about yesterday when the server in the breakfast area tipped on me. While I was moving it one of the casters (wheels) broke off. This little cabinet holds a lot of dinner and glassware, teacups and other breakable items. Thank goodness none of it broke. Hubby went to the hardware store, bought two new wheels, fixed it and now we are good again.
Everything had to be removed out of the cabinet and then put back again. Here you see some of the dishes piled on the dining table. Great time to dust all of them off and put them away again. So then it was time to play and create a small Christmas vignette on the sideboard.
I placed the shutter back behind the sideboard ( that is the semi-permanent place for it) since it makes a great backdrop for seasonal decorating.
I found this cute silver heart at the store the other day, it jumped in my cart and came home with me.
The decorations include, greens, candles and some ornaments. The angel under the cloche has been with us for a long time. He is so cute all white…I think he is missing a small candle though.
Leaning against the shutter is a wooden star and burlap ribbon pours out at that point. I love the festive appearance and the calm and warm glow of the candle-light in this silver goblet.
Stay warm sweet friends and have a wonderfully blessed week ahead.

Beautiful vignette, Mom! I love the pillar candle in the silver goblet. That wooden star is pretty neat too. I love seeing what you come up with every day. You have a gift, for sure!
Hugs, Nici
Where is that star from!?! I want one!!! Loving your server display…glad Pa was able to fix it!!! XO, Aimee
Thanks Aimee, the star is from Joanne’s I’ll see if they still have some. xo
I love the different textures and the serenity it’s giving off. It’s beautiful!
Wow good thing nothing broke! I had a server and that thing was heavy even when it was empty! Good thing you had your hubby to help fix it. Your new holiday decorating turned out cute!
Pretty! Just had to tell you, I have a set if shutters that look almost identical to yours that I also use in decorating. They are a great backdrop piece and are so versatile. They’ve been in several rooms in the house.
Thanks for visiting Gail, I appreciate the sweet note. Have a great day!
Oh so glad nothing broke. I love your vignette, so beautiful and the mix of rustic with the silver is stunning. Thanks for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty

I popped over from the Southern Hospitality link party, I love your happy little server vignette! I used a lot of burlap, silver and white in my decorating this year. I think I am going to have to look for a star like yours, I am in love! And about that silver heart jumping into your cart to hitch a ride home – that happens to me ALL the time.
Thanks for sharing – you have a new follower!
Thanks for stopping by Jenna and leaving a sweet note! Just to let you know, the star in my vignette came from JoAnne’s.
Hope you can find one….have a nice week!
What a lovely vignette–I love the heart ornament and the lit candle in the silver goblet, too! So glad that your china in the cabinet did not break–I would have freaked out:)
Hey and where is that heart from!? You have such great style! XO, Aimee
So very happy that nothing broke and you have a handyman who can fix things! Dishes are my weakness and I have loaded my server DOWN! It well loved and well used! I absolutely adore your shutter and have noticed it used in many ways around your house! I think I have to be on the lookout for one! It really does provide the most perfect backdrop! Beautiful touches!!
Wow , scary! Your dishes are lovely. So glad nothing broke. your server decor turned out beautiful. Love the fancy mixed with the natural.
Have a great weekend and visit us when you can.

Thanks so much for visiting and leaving a sweet note….I’ll be right over !!
Nobody mentioned anything about your pine wreath — I love it!!..It now gives me an excuse to go back to Joann’s & look for the beautiful heart & a pine swag..
BTW – I’m so glad that nothing broke also. That would have been heartbreaking!

Hallo Moni,
heute ist der erste Weihnachtsfeiertag und ich habe heute mal Gelegenheit gehabt, Deinen Blog zu sehen. Du hast einen tollen Geschmack und auch Talent, Dein Heim zu dekorieren. Marion hat mir gerade gesagt, dass sie mal das eine oder andere Rezept ausprobieren will. Du weißt ja, ich koche eher nach Mutter’s Art. Aber bestimmt schmecken Eure Sachen auch sehr gut.
Alles Gute Euch beiden und noch viele schoene Weihnachtsstunden…wir hoeren bestimmt bald wieder von einander.
Liebe Gruesse,
Anne
Herzlichen Dank für die lieben Zeilen, bis bald!
I am also in love with not only the star, I have printed off the three trees idea and hope to get some made here in Maitland Australia[ mens shed perhaps] I also love the heart you hung. My next Christmas shall be better since seeing your ideas and reading other peoples ideas. I have just signed for your emails, thanks from Mary
Mary, you are so kind. Thank you for the sweet comment. Have a Happy New Year!
