woodland with tartan plaid theme

Hi everybody I hope your week has been good, can you believe we are down to the wire here for Christmas wow has this just flown by this year or what.? 

 I picked this woodland theme last year but had to wait to this year to complete the set of dishes from Better Homes and Gardens from Walmart.I purchased them last year after Christmas and they were half off

 I've had this family of deer for years and loved how each place setting matched the wildlife. Here the family of deer nestles down among the trees

I never thought to mix and match different plaids together until Susan from Between Naps on the Porch shared with all of us in her post about her new plaid bedding.I made the table runner with a red plaid and found this warm blue plaid at a craft fair for a dollar.I think they look ok side by side

 this little guy is peaking out from under the tree boughs and this little bird is nesting close to all.

Even the racoon wants to come                                                                                   out and play

 See the little cardinal in it's birdhouse it matches the cardinal in two of the plates. the trees match the plate with the barn. even the napkin rings have tartan in them.the burlap napkins and the rustic chargers all enhance the woodland theme.

This was the last plate in the collection and I had to wait till this year to get it. but while at Walmart I grabbed this snowy white owl ornament to go with  the owl plate.They are a beautiful set of dishes I am so glad I got them 

 I found this beautiful rustic Christmas tree cake stand at a craft show and knew it had to be included in my woodland theme.Isn't it perfect? I can never have to many cake stands

My new red goblets  so sparkly and festive. I layered the plates on red chargers and then laid them on the reed chargers 

Here is a closeup of this wonderful plate.Even the color was perfect like fresh creme and it had a plaid bow attached which I didn't get a picture of.

 Well the animals are all snuggled down with the soft snow falling around them, the table is set all woodsy and warm. these little skates were too cute in their own tartan plaid. well I hope you enjoyed this walk in the woods with me.I loved putting all the rustic elements together.My husband and I rescued wildlife and rehabilitated many animals back into the wild including several baby raccoons. So this table had special meaning for me. I love how the animals are such a part of this tablescape and the plates were awesome.I have to try and find just the right plaid napkins next year to go with this table.Wishing everyone a wonderful week filled with Joy and anticipation of Christmas to come. 

 I'll be linking up I'm participating in Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps On The Porch
