Mom's 2nd December Table

Mom usually sets a gorgeous dinner table and especially for a holiday. The past several years she has done one Sunday with a gold and white theme. You see, Grandpa & Grandma gave her a set of gold sparkly wisemen statues and she didn't quite know what to do with them. Gold wisemen just did not match anything and was not her style!

She decorated the table, the buffet and the sideboard/cabinet. As you can see, she used lots of white candles, lace tablecloths, gold beads and some gold balls/baubles/ornaments.

Here are the gold wisemen... That first year it was a way to use them at least once and let Grandma see them and then we were hoping that Mom would lose them somehow. :( But, Mom has continued doing it each year in honor of Grandpa & Grandma Delamarter. Gramma gets so much enjoyment from seeing them on the table! She says "Oh, Robert look! The wisemen." And mom's gold & white table is quite pretty.

There is some kind of gold mesh ribbon down the center and gold sheer ribbon tied around the cloth napkins.


Just slipped in a picture of Emma and Papaw. She is doing better and better with him. She has been going through a phase of being frightened of strangers and even more so of men, Daddy excluded. Sadly, Papaw fell into that category somehow. But, she is doing better each time she sees him and this day they got to spend a bit of time together before she tired out.
