Blue Holiday Table Decor

The holidays are right around the corner, our Shop is gearing up for its HUGE holiday gift and decor section and while I site here with all my windows open it feels like May! I can't even get myself into that holiday season mode. My favorite holiday is less then a month away (Thanksgiving November 26th) and I am so excited, food seems to be my one true happiness in this world, and what better Holiday to love then right? So today I will be touching on blue table holiday decor.

This is a wonderful table for holiday events, weddings, cocktail parties, Christmas parties. The hint of blue in the goblets brighten up the table against the white and silver. The silver dresses the table up and the centerpieces are hanging snowflakes in a cylinder vase. This is a good centerpiece for a holiday get together that has children. Kids will LOVE looking at this candy cane wonderland. The red and robins egg blue has been a new color scheme for event decor this year.

For a coastal holiday here is a table design. Robins Egg blue table settings with silver accents. You can buy metal pine cones from many decor stores around the holidays but why spend $3.00 per person on something you can DIY and find in your backyard? Find some smaller pine cones and starfish and spray paint then with metallic silver finish.

Shake and strain into a Champagne glass and serve.

Joke of the Day
Two men were walking home after a Halloween party and decided to take a shortcut through the cemetery just for laughs. Right in the middle of the cemetery they were startled by a tap-tap-tapping noise coming from the misty shadows.
Trembling with fear, they found an old man with a hammer and chisel, chipping away at one of the headstones. "Holy cow, Mister," one of them said after catching his breath, "You scared us half to death -- we thought you were a ghost! What are you doing working here so late at night?"
"Those fools!" the old man grumbled. "They misspelled my name!"
