Red Glittered Deer Place Card Holders.

Today I get to host one of my favorite events of the year, our book club's Christmas luncheon.  Our club has been together for close to 15 years, and they have been kind enough to let me host this event for most of the last 10 years.
 I just wanted to show off my fun glittered deer place cards.  I went to the dollar store to get snowflakes for this purpose ...

but there were no snow flakes left ... what was I thinking?  What was left was these charming art deco looking deer silhouettes, which I love!  So much for the all white tablescape I had in mind...  I just grabbed some paper napkins in red and decided to use my red goblets, and voila ... easiest table I have done in a while!!

Thanks for stopping by, and wish me well.  I am making Roast Pork Loin crusted with Mustard and Maple.  Which is definitely a stretch for my culinary ability. (Fortunately my friend Sandy is making the fruit chutney that goes with it.)

      Thanks, I thought they had such great lines. So, what did you do with yours? If you blogged about it can you include a link?

    You have such a lovely, lively social life! Mine goes in phases depending on how much social anxiety I am feeling at the time. Aren't those deer great? I made a couple of $1 store tinsel wreaths using them. They actually had a lot of decorations this year that could be upcycled into something really special...your placecards definitely fit the bill! Maybe we need a monthly series on dollar store crafting all year long! =D

      I do love gatherings, I can't deny it. Did you blog about your wreaths? They sound charming, I will have to go and see what I missed. And yes, a monthly series would be a lot of fun, count me in.

    Those are so cute! I made a little craft with one of those Dollar Tree reindeer too. They are just too cute to pass up. :)
