Come over and check out my Christmas entry table in shades of gray, red and white. You’ll also find 25 other Christmas trees from my friends!
Welcome back to year 6 of our Festive Christmas Event!
In this event, we team up with a bunch of talented blogging friends to bring you a plethora of creative ways to celebrate your holiday season.
We will be baking some cookie recipes for you, sharing some party games, making some handmade gifts, doing some ornament crafting, and sharing our Christmas movies family fun. There will be breakfast recipes and as always our decorated Christmas Trees which is always a fun tour of homes.
You will find new ideas every Monday and Wednesday between Oct. 19th through Nov. 18th. Scroll all the way down to find all the ideas linked at the end.
Today the theme is the Decorations! This entry table is something I put together in February of this year, so this was my first year getting to decorate it.
I have been enjoying the galvanized metal trend everywhere. I picked this large stand up at Hobby Lobby on sale for Fall. It was a steal! I am going to get so much use out of this beauty.
The put the little Christmas jar together a couple weeks ago for my new On Rockwood Lane blog. Check out my Simple Red Car Christmas Jar post.
That white hobnail basket was a gift to me, and it was just perfect for my extra red and gray ornaments. Usually, I put a picture or sign front and center, but I thought the basket was the perfect piece.
You’ll also find some beautiful galvanized metal trees there on the right, which I also picked up at Hobby Lobby on sale.
My candles this year are Red Hot Cinnamon and Peppermint Dreams (the white one on the galvanized stand) – two of my favorite scents! These beauties were also found at Hobby Lobby on sale.
The table runner is my own design, and the crochet pattern can be found in my Etsy Shop, or my Ravelry shop.
The handmade ornaments are my Celtic Weave Bauble Ornaments (free crochet pattern) in gray and metallic silver to match my theme better, and my newest free bauble crochet pattern that I shared last week – Lightweight Bauble Ornament.

Galvanized metal has really won me over this year so the trees were a must when I saw them!

It’s so awesome that you’re able to use your crochet skills to add decor to your home. It works perfectly to add some softness with your galvanized tray and glass jar.

Thanks, Erlene! Never thought about it adding softness, but you are so right!
