Christmas Woodland Tablescape


Welcome to my Woodland Tablescape.  I knew I wanted to do this theme for my Christmas table, but I was lacking in inspiration.  I wasn't sure how to tie it all together.  Then I saw Paige Knudsen's tablescape from her blog Simple Thoughts and I fell in love.  First, I just thought I would copy the whole thing, but I couldn't.  I had to put my mark on it.  But I totally stole her gold flaked log idea and the pinecone layout on top of the plate.  I wish I could find some antlers, but it was not meant to be.  Her tablescape is below. It's incredible. 

The little log slices can be found at Michaels, along with the sizing, sealer and gold flake.  I bought one bag of gold flakes and it was more than enough to do all six logs.  The sizing on the other had ran out after one, so I switched to modge podge  You have to apply the sizing and let it sit for about 20 minutes or so, until it becomes sticky.  When using the modge podge you have to apply the gold flakes just a couple of minutes after applying it. 
 My little helper is ready to start setting the table, so I better get started. 


 I got these cute little bottle brush ornaments at Pier 1.






 I haven't added the glasses or silverware yet.  Not sure what I want to use yet.
 I have a flocked tree this year, lightly tipped.  I love it.  The lights really seem to show up better. 
 Merry Christmas!
