A private dinner party was a great opportunity to try out a new tablescape idea. The hostess wanted a “wintry theme but no cut flowers.” Hmm. I went with potted paper whites, small ivy topiary balls and trees and a selection of wooden reindeer and icicle balls to round it out. Table gifts of books were wrapped in craft paper and tied with gardening twine. My favorite burlap runner on the gorgeous rough-finished dining table contrasted nicely with the vintage blue Spode plates and gold and silver Christmas crackers. Lots and lots of white candles and little glass dishes of nuts and malt balls filled out the table and kept the guests happy while they waited for the next course…
