What do you suppose Santa does after Christmas?
After his hard work....I think he deserves a vacation....don't you?
Someplace tropical and warm.
Where he can just take off those fur lined boots and stick his toes in the sand.
Just sit and warm his sore muscles and take a good nap.
After all the bright lights and colors of Christmas.....a change to white and tan is soothing.
How about a beach walk searching for shells to take back to the North Pole.
Plain white dishes and napkins and napkin rings.....
....for beachside dining.
Overview of the table.
I hope Santa enjoys his vacation.....
....because all too soon.....it will be time to plan for his next big night. But in the meantime....shhhhhh....Santa's taking a nap! We'll be joining Susan for Tablescape Thursday at "Between Naps on the Porch"
See ya!
I love the chair and Santa hat Martha. Beautiful New Years table!
ReplyDeleteSo cute, Martha! That was inspired, to pair the little beach chair with the Santa hat! I'm with you -- I'm ready for calm and peaceful decor in January.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute idea!!!! I am filing this one away for future inspiration. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteSo incredibly creative, Martha!!! I love it!!! I had to just laugh out loud (or should I say "lol"?) when I saw the little hat hanging off the back of that little Adirondack. What a fun concept!!! The little crabs are a great touch, too! Perfect January table for both Santa AND me! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove it! Santa has the right idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea, Martha! The table looks very calm and relaxing, just what Nick needs! Do you think he hit the after Christmas sales? :)

Hi Martha,
ReplyDeleteThis table is so cute; it made me grin. ;) The Santa hat on the beach chair and the little crab are just perfect.
I agree that Santa probably needs a big vacation right about now. The whites and tans really are very soothing and relaxing. I love your napkin rings! You always have such unique accessories for your tablescapes.
Thanks for visiting my blog and for your kind comments. Happy 2012 to you!

LOL, what a cute idea. The embossed plates are really pretty. I'm sure Santa enjoyed the Club Med treatment!
