This is my first attempt at a tablescape...and it's actually the one I did last Christmas for RMS...Plain white dishes, on gold chargers, brown napkins with a bow tied around it;) The bows I got from the dollar store! Assorted nuts in the two smaller glass dishes....
Little name tags that are little ornaments...
The deer I got from Target with a little berry around it and two miniature Christmas trees from Michael's which I sprayed with fake snow for this year...
Gold tablecloth with three runners I made using one full table cloth just cut and sewed them;)
Nothing fancy, just a little something I did to try it! Maybe one day I will get some pretty dishes and try this again;)

FrenchFry~ The BEAUTY here is in the elegant simplicity of it all, and it's just STUNNING~~~ Very classic, very sophisticated and very, very CHARMING! Hugs, Linda
You have such a flair for tablescaping. Your eye for detail just shines. This is just beautiful, French!!!!!
Oh French ,it is so nice.I think it is just perfect. Kathy
Good morning Lisa girl...Oh, this tablescape goes so well with your gorgeous Christmas decor...
chocolate & gold. Now you have me lusting for some plain white dishes! Elegant... Big Hugs, ♥ Bo
That looks very inviting to me! :-)
Beautiful colors too!

I love the colors of the whole room and how your tablescape is so simple, yet elegant. Awesome job!
Your table is so elegant, and put together w/ finds from Target, Michaels and made by you makes it even better. Plain china is the way to go, and then dress it up w/ napkins, etc. Real chefs refuse to serve food on anything other than a plain plate.
Wow Frenchie... Beautiful job for your first Tablescape Tuesday... I loved those deer for the centerpiece... very classy... Just like you!!! Have a fun filled day
Hope you’re feeling better or at least taking care of it...
(((HUGS)))
Donna
Oh ya...
Tag your it!!!! Come on over to my place and pick up the rules...
Love Ya, Donna
A very pretty table!
I am drawn to the deer and the place card holders, but everything is so elegant, that there is nothing not to like.
Now that you've gotten your feet wet, hope you'll come back again.
Oh, how wonderful to have discovered your fantastic blog! Yipee!
That table setting is pure art...I love every single thing about it. Truly gorgeous. Now I feel inspired! Thank you for sharing.
Looks lovely! You can sew? Geez what Can't you do?..from your jealous bloggy friend ~Cindy~
No apologies required! This is a posh setting!
Beautiful tablescape! I love the brown and white. Hope to see more from your home, on future Tablescape Tuesdays!
French! Welcome and I LOVE this tablescape. So simple and elegant and just beautiful!!
I'm especially drawn to the deer. I love anything pertaining to wildlife this year, even though the last post doesn't show it..lol..Your tablescape is wonderful...hugs ~lynne~

Hi Lisa! It's so beautiful and cozy! And you have wine! I love it! Deb
I think it's beautiful with the dishes you have! You can do so much with white dishes. Love it.
You have set a beautiful table. I love the brown and white! Love the photos you took :0)
I love the simplicity of white dishes! Everything looks wonderful. You can do more tablescapes with just those dishes by changing out the other stuff! Go for it! Sally

Lisa, that looked absolutely gorgeous! I've never seen anyone use brown to decorate a table for Christmas, but wow, mixed with the gold it's just stunning!!!!! You've gotta do this again!
Justine :o )
It is beautiful. I love the white with the brown. I would so set a table like this..and many times I use bows for a table ring.
Hi French! This is absolutely lovely! We're having a snowstorm. I drove home from work at a whopping 6 mph. People forget how to drive when it's one of the first snows of the season. ugh! ~ Robyn
Hi Lisa, I've been thinking about you and meant to stop in to say hello. I have not forgotten about you!
I haven't been painting much lately but I still have your project in the back of my mind. Hang in there, I'll surprise you one of these days.
Love, Bridget
Oh ladies I had no idea I had so many comments! My emails aren't coming to me as usual (blogger issues)!!! I will try to get to each and every one of your spaces;) Thanks so much for the warm welcome for my first table scape!! Hugs French;)
French your tablescape is stunning!..."nothing fancy" Sheeshhhh I'd love to see what "fancy" looks like to you girl! Cause this is pretty darn special!! I LOVE your taking an existing tablecloth and seperating it for a completely different look! So savy! And that's positively it! I will never participate in tablescape Tuesday! You are just too talented! I'm getting a complex....I'm going to go sulk with my crowns...the ones that DON'T fit on my head.....yeah I did have to at least try...*winks* Vanna
Understated elegance, I shall be studying the pics most carefully to pinch an idea !!! Lovely, hope to come back and visit soon. xx
Good morning dear friend..hope this finds you feeling ok... I hope you can make it back to Tj Maxx and find some bling..lol
hugs ~lynne~
Dear Ms. French! I beg to disagree .... your tablescape is indeed quite fancy in a wonderfully understated way. Merry Christmas....
Hello; Wow for this being your first time I love your table. The brown with the white is so chic. Love it...
Have a great week.

Nothing fancy??? I beg to differ with you my friend...I think in it's simplicity your table is quite elegant...it's gorgeous!!! Love the idea of sewing the tablerunners together!!! Congratulations on your very first "Tablescape Tuesday"!

How elegant and lovely. Civilized comes to mind (gives you an inkling of our rather uncivilised set up!!)
I love it!
