Let's Dish Challenge!

 I love to take Cuisine Kathleen's monthly challenges, but thought this month's might be too difficult with a copycat picture challenge.  I started looking on Pinterest and came up with this one:

Borrowed from Claudine Barnett C.B.I.D. Home Decor and Design at yournestdesign.blogspot.com I have a large candlestick like hers, a large mirror, a Nativity collection, and a similar cloche so I went from there. It took me a long time to find her actual post since if was done in 2010, but here's the link:

I started with a large gilded mirror

then added the Nativity under the cloche:

 then the candlesticks and glass star ornament:
 

 

I had planned to use Christmas plates as I have four different sets of Christmas plates, but none of them really worked, so I stuck with a gold tablescape.
 
I've had the gold damask tablecloth and switched it with the original burgundy cloth I started out with.

I used the butterscotch dishes purchased from Marshall's a few years ago, and the flatware from Tuesday Morning


The napkins are from Walmart a couple years ago, and the napkin rings from Ross:

I decided to use faux holly to give a pop of color, also added a small sprig to the centerpiece.


Amber etched stems were also perfect with the color scheme:

 I lit the candles of my centerpiece:

Now it looks a little more like the one on Pinterest:
 

 I hope I met the challenge!
