My dining room table

I never used to set my table and leave it set, but I got new dishes for Christmas and wanted to see them displayed somewhere besides the kitchen cabinet. 

The dishes are from JcPenney and the Chris Madden collection. I have all the pieces from the collection except the casserole and the tray but I definitely see them in my future. The chargers came from Wal-Mart and the eggs in the nest came from Home Goods. I have had the crystal wine glasses for many years. My kids love to drink their apple or grape juice from them. The tray you see behind the place setting and the faux artichoke candle holders are from

 Southern Living at Home. 

I have had the topiary for many years and I love it. I think it has been in every part of my house over the years , even outside. 

I made the table runner using burlap and iron sewing tape. i just cut it to fit the size of my table and then folded over the ends and sides and used the iron on tape to bind it. I do not sew but would love to learn, but until then I love this iron on stuff!
