Three Kings Table

Now when Jesus was born

in Bethlehem...

there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

saying, "Where is he that is born 

King of the Jews?

for we have seen his star in the east, and are 

come to worship him."

Matthew 2:1-2

This elegant table is in honor of the wise men

who knew the signs of the coming of the

Savior of the world and followed the new star

seeking Him.

Elegant square, scalloped white plates

 sit on a silver charger.

They are beautiful by themselves.  I love their

square design and the raised texture,

But add the elegant bowl that looks

like a crown and they become royal,

befitting our table for the wise men.

I had seen these on Yvonne's blog 

Stonegable in the spring,

and just fell in love.  She said

she had purchased them at Home Goods but

I had never seen them there.  Just a few weeks

ago, I was treasure hunting

at Home Goods and

they had just put these out that morning!  I was 

able to purchase 20 of each!  That is the best

treasure hunting I have ever had at

 Home Goods.

By the way,

  Yvonne just announced that she 

will no longer be blogging.  Visit her exquisite

blog and tell her goodbye.  She is such an inspiration

and we will miss her elegant touch that she gives

everything.  Her blog was one of the first blogs

I ever visited.  Joni (my sister) at 

Red Couch Recipes

told me I had to go visit this wonderful blog.

Truly, it has been a great experience being one

of her blogging friends.

I just love this royal pitcher with

its rustic elegance.  It makes up part

of the centerpiece vignette.

A crown sitting on a rustic

stone pedestal also sits in the center

of the table.

Elegant candles add height to

the centerpiece vignette.

A dessert spoon and napkin sit 

at the top of the plate

with a crystal napkin ring.

Silver goblets are at each

place setting.

Here is a closeup of the

grapevine details.

My silver plated flatware have crowns

on the ends of them.

I hope this season of the year

brings you peace and joy

with the good news that

Christ was born.

And may those feelings go with

you through the entire year.

Wise men (and women) seek Him still.

May the true spirit of Christmas 

permeate your home and life this year.
