REINDEER CENTERPIECE
This majestic reindeer is ready for Christmas and he’s playing reindeer games with the stars! He’s out on a snowy night to catch stars and fill his sleigh with them! They will land softly among the greens and snow! The dining room centerpiece highlights my theme for this year’s Christmas… STARS! A nod to the star of Bethlehem and to the night the Christ Child was born! Stars hang from the chandelier overhead and fall softly to the table below. It’s a starry Christmas at StoneGable this year!
I’m teaming up with Cricut and Balsam Hill for…
Decorating for the Christmas is such a labor of love. Every year I try to make my decor unique, new and something a little different. This year I am making lots and lots of stars with my Cricut electronic cutting machine and the free Make It Now projects.
The beautiful greens that fill the back of the sleigh is really a 10 foot prelit Balsam Hill garland. Using a garland to fill something large, like the sleigh, is much more economical (and beautiful) than buying individual greens. Don’t they look lifelike? And next year I can use the garland on my mantle or as a swag on a mirror!
I pulled apart an old snowy garland to add lots of white “fluff” to the centerpiece!
Red, green, gold and silver ball ornaments, also from Balsam Hill, dot the greenery in the sleigh.
I’m still cutting and scoring and folding stars using a Cricuit for my Balsam Hill Christmas tree that I’ll be sharing on Monday, Nov. 30th! I’ll be using some fun star designs!
The sleigh centerpiece features two types of 3D stars. I hung stars from the chandelier…
These are my favorites. 
The reindeer is a handsome fellow, isn’t he? He came from Luckett’s a few years ago!
Here’s the star loving reindeer sleigh lit up…
Do you have a Christmas theme this year?
You can follow me on Pinterest and see what I’m pinning every day HERE.
Absolutely gorgeous!
Very beautiful! I was looking for a card yesterday not happy with the choices. I was thinking I need a cricket. So I think it will be on my Christmas list! Happy Thanksgiving!
I love mine. There are so so many thing you can do with it!
We purchased a Balsam Hill Christmas Tree for our new home. I can’t wait to get it up and decorate it with vintage inspired ornaments. My theme this year is to use vintage décor that reminds me of my childhood. Your sleigh is beautiful! Happy Thanksgiving, Yvonne!
I love some of your fonts. What is the font you used for Reindeer in your opening article?
It’s from PicMonkey.
Hope you don’t mind me sticking my nose in. The font is Scriptina or ScriptinaPro or Ballroom Waltz. Just in case you’d like to download it. 😀
I am in love with that reindeer sleigh! I remember it last year, what a find! If I EVER find one, I’ll buy it. I am loving the stars and everything you did with it. I’m ready for Christmas decorating. I will start this weekend! I am always so inspired by you, I love to go back and look at your prior Christmas posts all the time!
it’s lovely! I love the starts too so pretty!
Awesome,, Yvonne! Soooooo beau-ti-ful! You are such a special, talented lady. You bless us all! 😀
Beautiful centerpiece! Heading to Lancaster County after Thanksgiving and can’t to shop for some new Christmas décor and gifts!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!!
What a beautiful tablescape!
Stunning❤️?
Gorgeous, as always. I think you need to sell your stars. You’d have a cash cow…LOL
It’s beautiful! I do a sleigh too, but I use oasis and fresh greens from the yard. I do the same on my mantel. I don’t use a live tree so using fresh greens satisfies my need to have the aroma of Christmas tree!
A very blessed Thanksgiving to you!
Yesterday I purged my Christmas decorations. In a pile to get rid of I have an almost identical reindeer/sleigh I picked up on clearance maybe 15-20 years ago and I’ve never known exactly what to do with it. Instead of getting rid of it, after seeing yours I took it out to the garage for a makeover!
This year I wrote out what I wanted to get out of my Christmas decor. I realized through writing it all down that I was still decorating for kids – but mine are grown and out of the house…and no grandkids yet! So I decided to scrap at least half of my Christmas things and pack them away in deep storage. I have made all new ornaments this year. My theme is a Scandinavian Christmas (I’m Swedish) so I painted wooden stars red and white, filled empty glass ornaments with feathers, wood burned snowflakes into sliced birch rounds and sewed some tiny red and white stockings. Come this weekend I’ll put it all together and I’m hoping it will be just right for our smallish family and friends get togethers over the coming month. Thank you, Yvonne, for your lovely inspiration all year!
Very cute center piece. Love it. The stars are to cute. Can’t wait to see your tree.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Many Blessings

I go to Lucketts’s too. I always get inspired.
So beautiful, Yvonne. Elegance at its finest!!
Beautiful Yvonne….I always look forward to what you will be doing every year dressing your table for Christmas…this year is like the others…just a real beauty!!!
