I try to keep my bar counter set for us for either breakfast or lunch, cause we usually eat dinner at the table in the morning room. So this changes, but this is what I have here right now. I love these Christmas tree dishes. I have had this runner for years that has trees on the ends so it is perfect. I also LOVE checks. I added these pretty red, bottle brush trees on top of the plates but don't have a big stck of dishes here. Since this is such an open area, it is hard to get pictures without seeing other spaces too. But I will be sharing all of the kitchen too, soon!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRh5J7oI7PkokP1UOJQGZXuacp2_m6I3jew9hdvX2Jqme67LFo4m6rRPIqmUwcaiRoFM0owGZbjnOEjoqzdLmld4LyRTNRewRUOUDt_rvHrZHCgjGRTd7lPpf3J2iNjqh2Nrt8hIBINHk/s1600/IMG_1023.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRh5J7oI7PkokP1UOJQGZXuacp2_m6I3jew9hdvX2Jqme67LFo4m6rRPIqmUwcaiRoFM0owGZbjnOEjoqzdLmld4LyRTNRewRUOUDt_rvHrZHCgjGRTd7lPpf3J2iNjqh2Nrt8hIBINHk/s640/IMG_1023.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> The white dots are raised.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGjuIzAeuhREp0AKEmMwKdDH8Ak-ZT7n454tq2hY3Vw4LrFwGGGwm_etij1XLZT2e0PqQmFLrft_EPiGlqXbMtCmmZtY620Yr-uIRqlwmLsciQl1KsBKPK3sgsFb1lgQXye0fmBsQk-Ao/s1600/IMG_1025.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGjuIzAeuhREp0AKEmMwKdDH8Ak-ZT7n454tq2hY3Vw4LrFwGGGwm_etij1XLZT2e0PqQmFLrft_EPiGlqXbMtCmmZtY620Yr-uIRqlwmLsciQl1KsBKPK3sgsFb1lgQXye0fmBsQk-Ao/s640/IMG_1025.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAVnG3KX0TXG-gzWRjUp4X9Er_m90GDXnJHxwsDgZFVxCUMo4nW4wnf0p9-COZXHdUo_p5GOw8g5XuStmHOU6ybzh_jVL_YAMkt2mFvD9UWuL1PjiLbC2Ks5648y0Jv5MY0smIEQiec5Q/s1600/IMG_1026.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAVnG3KX0TXG-gzWRjUp4X9Er_m90GDXnJHxwsDgZFVxCUMo4nW4wnf0p9-COZXHdUo_p5GOw8g5XuStmHOU6ybzh_jVL_YAMkt2mFvD9UWuL1PjiLbC2Ks5648y0Jv5MY0smIEQiec5Q/s640/IMG_1026.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I also made the topper for the lantern.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJPoHas6KMRt9NSsu7Uw7l49CZeJdWD3C008tv4cp4dvav6GWu4MBocCrmloyCsQ7Kr-IeyWfcI1yLc0_tG-Zq9LjovMNNvMFQAflcVstVxZNSOEvuSqv3KaGdoN9ubacPXBr0o1ZjKi0/s1600/IMG_1027.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJPoHas6KMRt9NSsu7Uw7l49CZeJdWD3C008tv4cp4dvav6GWu4MBocCrmloyCsQ7Kr-IeyWfcI1yLc0_tG-Zq9LjovMNNvMFQAflcVstVxZNSOEvuSqv3KaGdoN9ubacPXBr0o1ZjKi0/s640/IMG_1027.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> The napkins are embroidered with stockings filled with goodies!
