A Bountiful Harvest

Tabletop Essentials
Believe that it’s possible to be happy and busy at the same time. During the Christmas season, our kitchen is one of the busiest rooms in the house. During holidays, I like to take the opportunity to transform it into my own happy space while getting creative with my meals.

Being in the season for merry feasting, decorations should.’t be limited to just the living room. Thus, I’ve included tabletop essentials in our holiday collection, to match your magical Christmas with a perfect traditional holiday dinner.

Sourced from a wide selection of high quality suppliers are fine pieces of silverwares, all in shining bright pewter and gray shades. Some of my best picks are the Wine Chiller with intricate patterns of floral and nature elements; the Pewter Deer Salt and Pepper Shakers for its functional yet decorative use; the Butter Knife with a realistic squirrel sculpt as its handle; and the Silver Antique Pie Server featuring an ornate and complex design.

Aside from these, a dinnerware set from the Kristina collection will compliment these items well, and are a great way to start the new year ahead. We also have disposable placemats on hand that could be a feasible solution for those of you who are often busy with social gatherings.
These fancy pieces will not only give your collection of tablletop essentials a revamp, but could also be a perfect gift for your friends and loved ones.
