Don’t you love this time of year? So many beautiful table settings appear everywhere and it’s such a joy to spend time creating some beautiful settings for the holidays. Thanks so much for joining me here today. I’m so excited to be joining a talented group of Bloggers as we share our Christmas tablescapes with you. I hope that you find lots of great ideas to incorporate into your own decor. Special thanks to Rita of Panoply for doing a superb job organizing the Christmas Tablescape Blog Hop.
Pour yourself a cup of your favorite hot beverage, relax and explore the wonderful table settings put together for you to enjoy. Links for all the tablescapes appear at the end of the Blog. Welcome and Merry Christmas! Join me now for a Royal Hunt Christmas Breakfast table setting.
I decided to go with the traditional red and green colors especially since I could use my favorite china, Royal Hunt, by Noritake. This wonderful pattern features a stag, a pheasant and a rabbit on the outer rim separated by a pattern of red, green and gold diamonds. Gold dogs chase the animals around the rim of the plate. A large red bordered dinner plate by Kate Spade manufactured by Lenox provides a simple red border around the Noritake plate. A green wooden charger provides another edge of green at the outer rim of the plate stack.
Spode, Christmas Tree, flatware sits on top of a woolen shawl in reds, greens and soft old gold colors. It exudes cozy and makes the china and flatware comfortable and welcoming. The shawl was a perfect topper for this breakfast setting.
A deep red crystal water glass exudes a beautiful ruby color that fits right in with the theme.
A matching cup and saucer are ready for that first cup of fragrant morning coffee at this Christmas Breakfast table. I don’t know about you but I really enjoy that first cup in the morning.
I added a napkin in a similar red, green and white pattern held by a gold stag napkin ring. The napkin rings were a gift from my daughter and I love how well they go with the china.
Fitz & Floyd deer sit on some fresh magnolia. These deer are beautifully rendered and so life-like they truly seem to leap across the table. The colors blend in well with the table topper and the china.
I like to include the area around the table in the theme. The gallery wall is filled with Christmas greetings and woodland charm. A stag head on dark brown wood in white relief is paired with a wooden display of “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.” A white candle holder with the phrase “gather around” holds 16 candles.
A handmade, Santa with Snowman picture, flanks one side of a metal deer head mounted on a beautiful mahogany plaque. The other side holds a sign asking us to “Believe”. A little magic at Christmas is something everyone should experience.
A moose and a bear flank another hand-stenciled sign asking us to “Believe” in the magic of Christmas.
This view of the table shows the gallery wall on the opposite side. The colors come together really nicely reinforcing the Hunt theme. In this picture you can also see the decorated chandelier. The chandelier is hung with Waterford snowflakes and recycled glass icicles. Magnolia and Ivy add a touch of the forest to the light.
Another view shows the handmade wooden trees my Hubby made. They work perfectly in the windows along with handmade magnolia wreaths.
Here’s a closer look at the individual place settings. Guests can easily see one another across the table so conversation can flow.
An overview of the whole table and the gallery wall encourages guests to share Christmas memories and make new ones together. From our home to yours… a sincere wish for a wonderful holiday season filled with joy and love.

The reindeer napkin rings are so cute and a lovely gift from your daughter. The ruby red goblets look so pretty.. The Spode Christmas flatware for your red and green table. Your gallery wall makes for a lovely backdrop. A pleasure joining you. Merry Christmas.
Thanks, Linda. Always a pleasure to visit with you. Have a wonderful Holiday!
Lynne
really very pretty. I love the battenburg lace under the plaid shawl, and I love Fitz and Floyd stuff too.
Very lovely
The battenburg lace tablecloth is a favorite. I use it a lot and Fitz & Floyd are the best. LOL thanks for stopping by and sharing.
Lynne
What a wonderful theme you chose, and everything looks beautiful! The plaid tablecloth is perfect with your special plates, and the Spode Christmas Tree silverware is gorgeous! I received a set of Spode Christmas Tree china from my mother’s best friend when I got married, but have never seen this flatware and didn’t know it existed! I love the way you always tie the whole room into your tablescapes, the gallery wall looks so festive and I love how you decorated the chandy with greens and snowflakes. Have a very Merry season Lynne!
Thanks so much. I love the Spode Christmas Tree china and also have a set. I had never seen the silverware until I found it at Goodwill. I’ll post a picture at some point as I use it throughout the holidays. Have a wonderful Holiday!

A breakfast tablescape! And such a beautiful setting for breakfast. Perfect for everyone and especially for men folk would love the great outdoors, hunting or a classic. The plaid tartan speaks volumes for the hunting theme and the colors of wine/burgundy and the sage green are colors of distinction and elegance. This theme appeals to anyone who loves the sport and refined living. The dinnerware is a beautiful example of such exquisiteness. Such detail in the pattern and brings attention to the gorgeous deer candleholders. Merry Christmas! And enjoy your breakfast at this charming table right through to dinner!
Breakfast will be a treat. The china holds a special place in my heart as it was a gift from my Hubby. Have a wonderful Christmas!
Lynne
Lynne, I love your hunt theme table! The dishes are fabulous and go perfectly with those exquisite candlesticks. F&F makes the most wonderful pieces. I’ve never seen that incredible flatware — bee still my heart! It looks vintage and heirloom quality. Everything looks so warm, cozy and festive! Kudos to your husband and those great wooden trees.
Your dining rooms is beautiful! I love the gallery wall. I know all your guests enjoy it! Your linens are gorgeous, and the Spode Christmas Tree flatware is so pretty. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before! I also like your cups and saucers. Is that a partridge or is it a pheasant? I love them and would like to know more. Merry Christmas! ~Ricki Jill
Hi Ricki, I think the bird is a pheasant. I hadn’t seen the flatware before I found it at Goodwill. It is beautiful and I use it throughout the holidays. Merry Christmas!
Okay after going back through and rereading the post, I see that it’s the Royal Hunt pattern. I really like it! (Sorry….I seriously still have chemo brain and radiation brain. Thanks for your patience with me!)
Hope you are feeling better. It’s such a lot to go through. You have a lot of support for a complete recovery. Wishing you a wonderful holiday season and a healthy and happy New Year!

Such a cozy nook for a meal with family or friends, warm and inviting. Love the snowflakes hanging from the chandelier.
The snowflakes are one of my favorite things in the room. Have a happy holiday!
Lynne
Lynne, I am loving the hunt theme of your table. I have always loved the Noritake pattern. F&F deer candleholders are beautiful, I have a big collection of F&F. The gallery wall is perfect and I love the handmade trees by your husband. It is always a treat to be welcomed to your table. Merry December!
I love everything about your table! From the deep reds and greens of the shawl and place settings, to the natural green touches, to the ephemeral snowflakes dancing above! A lovely spot to begin the day and linger over good food, good coffee and good company. Beautiful!! Have a very merry Christmas!
Thanks, Sandra. It is a lovely spot to have a leisurely meal or a cup of coffee/tea. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!

Lynne your table is so pretty and so perfect for your title of the Hunt. What a grand way to celebrate with the men in your life as they are sure to feel comfortable with the rustic greens and reds starting with the lovely shawl. I have to agree with the other ladies in commenting about the Spode Christmas tree flatware. It is a delight and to find it at Goodwill…what a find for you. I also like the F&F pieces, the chandy decor and the gallery wall. What a wonderful way to celebrate Christmas…all cozy and compfy. Merry Christmas!
Thanks, Kari. It’s such fun to share these tablescapes with everyone. Wishing you a happy holiday!

Lynne, I love your hunt theme, dinnerware and Fitz and Floyd deer! Your shawl provides a perfect cozy layer of plaid in red and green. I’ve never seen Spode flatware before, how festive! I love how you dress your gallery wall to fit the theme of your table and the addition of the icicles and greenery to your chandy makes for cozy dining. It’s a treat to join you at the table and hop with you again. Wishing you a very Merry December and Christmas❣️🎄

Oh my gosh, Lynne. I LOVE this china and tablescape you’ve created! The F&F deer are perfect additions, but the china plate stack itself is so handsome. The entire room looks perfect (love the trees your hubby made). This would be a tablescape I’d enjoy all through the holidays. And the way you are such a smart shopper makes it even better. Happy holidays, Lynne. Thanks for being part of the group!
Always a pleasure to join you, Rita. Wishing you a very Happy Holiday!

I love this sweet tablescape!! I am so glad to see the classic plaid coming back into fashion this year for Christmas…I think it is timeless and can be both elegant and rustic and this tablescape is a perfect example of such!! Beautiful! Thanks so much for visiting!!!
Hugs,

The plaids are really fun to work with and say “Christmas” to me. I enjoy pastels as well but this tablescape was definitely about tradition. such fun to visit with you. Have a very Merry Christmas!
Lynne
Love your plaid/reindeer theme. All the many materials for the wildlife which adds a lovely richness to your entire room (& table). The plaid provides the warmth.
Plaid is definitely a classic and a favorite. It was quite fun to find pieces to compliment the theme. Wishing you a Happy Holiday Season!
Lynne
I have never seen those plates before and they are just beautiful! All of the elements of your tablescape blend so well with the plaid throw as the base. I have the same Fitz and Floyd reindeer and it fills me with joy to see someone else enjoying displaying them, also! Thank you so much for sharing and have a very Merry Christmas!
It’s always a pleasure to put together a holiday table setting. Fitz & Floyd is the best. Their pieces are really special. Have a wonderful holiday!
Lynne
Can I start with appreciating that view! I can imagine sitting down for dinner and watching deer in the yard! Your table is so warm and cozy. I love the mix of plaids that pair beautifully with your china pattern. Those deer candleholders are darling. The greenery decorating the chandelier is such a nice touch too and adds to the coziness. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
It was fun putting together a tablescape around “deer”. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
