Tablecloths for Christmas

 It may be just a bit early to be thinking of Christmas and decorating our tables but I came upon these pretty tablecloths while browsing Pinterest once again.  They're all so pretty  but the first one is my favourite. Do you have a preference?



When we walked over at Willband on the weekend we saw all the usual waterfowl and also some swans. They come back every winter and our first sighting of them is special.

I've been having problems with my camera and for the time being I hope to find pictures that others have taken, as these were, by a fellow Willband walker who had the good fortune to see an Eagle grabbing a Canada Goose right out of the water and taking it over to a nearby tree to eat it. It actually looks like the Eagle just caught the goose with one of its talons.  I've enlarged the pictures to  make that more clear.


 


That's it for today. I hope your week is off to a good start.

 

Thanks for taking time to visit.

  1. I would definitely go for the third Christmas tablecloth you have pictured! It reminds me of some of the beautiful tablecloths I brought home from Mexico City when I visited our daughter there years ago. They no longer work with my table.

  8. It's good to start early with Christmas-decoration. Because the time till Christmas is so very short! I love the first and the second decoration. The photos with the swans are stunning!

  9. Every day I say I will buy a new tablecloth for Thanksgiving or Christmas, then I don't. I like all of these. (:

  12. The second tablecloth is the one that caught my eye! Goodness me, I can hardly believe the strength of the eagle to pluck the goose right out of the water! Fantastic photo shot, that's for sure!

  13. I really like the snowman tablecloth. I do love snowmen and decorating a lot with them for the winter. I feel bad for the goose but I do know that it's the circle of life.
    Blessings and hugs,

  14. The first is my favourite - the table will be covered in plates/food so the border pattern detail is what you will see - very festive and pretty. Betty

  18. Those are pretty tablecloths, but i prefer a plain red or green one myself, so it doesnt clash with whatever napkins ir dishes I use. Although these days I don't really set a Christmas dinner table, I just do it buffet or charcuterie style. That way family can eat as they arrive. We don't have many, just my one son and his daughters usually. The others have other family obligations or just too far away.

  24. I'm sorry you're having problems with your camera. What sort of problems? I recently had the shutter count die on mine. We think. We'll know for sure later.

    We do Christmas right after Halloween at our house. Both trees go up, lights and all. I love to have a good solid two months of Christmas decorations to enjoy.

    Tabletop number two for me because I adore snowmen.

    Cheers, Ivy.
