my favorite Christmas gift selections

Hello friends and let’s hear a warm welcome to December! The last month of the year… how did this happen so quickly?!

 

Having just realized the urgency to start on my Christmas gift list, I have to share with you some of my favorite and newest treasures from Vagabond House that I’ve recently added to my collection, because a lot of them make great gifts!

 

The Pewter Acorn Flatware is a set that I use an awful lot during the fall and winter months.

You may have seen this latest Christmas tablescape on Instagram recently, and you can see up-close how pretty the details of each individual utensil handle are.

 

Also part of the “Lodge Collection" from Vagabond House is this gorgeous set of Deer / Elk Salt and Pepper Shakers. 

They really make a statement at the dinner table, and I love how they coordinate with some of my favorite vintage plates and table runners.

At this place setting we’re featuring the elegant Antler Napkin Rings. These beauties are understated, but offer that quintessential winter feeling and bring thoughts of the forest and majestic woodland creatures to mind.

 

Here are some of my all-time favorites:

 

ü  The Elk Head Wood Flatware Caddy

ü  The Pewter Acorn Measuring Spoons

ü  The Pear Cheese Board

 

I can’t get enough of my new Quail Napkin Rings! This little quail is the just sweetest!

Our family has always had a love for quails, and I think it’s fitting that they’re a symbol of hope. These are perfect for the holidays, and they'd also be pretty for a spring table setting.

 

And here, a pair of quails makes an appearance on our sideboard in the form of Standing Quails Salt and Pepper Shakers. 

This duo has a stately presence on the dinner table, and they’re just so beautifully and realistically depicted in pewter.   

Here’s something that you didn’t know you really needed… 

The Santa or “St. Nick” Pewter Pick Set. This little set is a perfect solution to the ordinary wooden toothpick, when it comes to serving cheese at any party. So cute too!

 

They also make the most elegant picks to hold your Martini olive, Bloody Mary garnish or strawberries on a fruit platter.  

 

A gorgeous white stoneware piece like this Squirrel Stoneware Canister can hold a multitude of goodies in your kitchen, butler’s pantry or dining room. I like to store cookies in mine, since the seal is airtight and things like baked goods, coffee and tea stay fresh longer.

 

This one has a cute little squirrel on top, but there are dozens of different motifs to choose from, and even comes in a smaller coordinating size to make a pretty pair on your countertop.

 

A few more of my favorites:

 

ü  The Pine Cone Salt and Pepper Set

ü  The Santa Sugar Bowl

ü  The Elk Head Napkin Ring

 

ü  Stag Glass Short

ü  Acorn & Oak Leaf Creamer Set

ü  Acorn & Oak Leaf Stoneware Tray

ü  Gold Bee Napkin Ring

ü  Quail Napkin Ring

ü  Squirrel Stoneware Canister

ü  Pewter Acorn Flatware

Thanks for stopping by today and checking out some of my favorite pewter and stoneware pieces from Vagabond House. 

I know it's hard to pick favorites because there are so many pretty options! I like to start with essentials that know I'll use.

For gift giving, I look for something that is pretty but practical.

I'll be back in a couple of days with a fun feature from Better Homes & Gardens magazine that you won't want to miss!

the cutest additions to any tablescape

Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always had a thing for owls. They’re just such elegant and mysterious birds, and I guess that’s part of the fascination for me.

That’s why I’m super excited to bring out this set of Owl Salt & Pepper Shakers from Vagabond House for Thanksgiving and the Christmas holidays. They’ll be sure to brighten up any table we set!

 

Hooo wouldn’t want this pair of cuties serving up salt and pepper at the dinner table?

And since they're made by Vagabond House, I know the quality is superb!

 

Here’s a little bit about Vagabond House... They’re proud to be a family-owned and operated company that specialize in fine tableware, serving ware and giftware.  

 

Each item is artistically designed and finely crafted from the highest quality pewter and other beautiful and durable natural materials.  

 

The owls are a part of this greater tablescape that I’ll be sharing here on the blog in a few days. They fit in so nicely with the warm tones of the tablecloth and these amazing Thanksgiving poinsettias.

Up until this year I’d never heard of Thanksgiving Poinsettias, but I’ve come to learn that it’s a thing, and I just love how they bring that indescribable autumn feeling to the table.

Some of my favorite holiday entertaining essentials are from Vagabond House. This year, as we gather around the table, we can set a table that will brings so much joy to our friends and family.

 

We can surround ourselves with pretty things that remind us of an old-fashioned Christmas.  

The collections from Vagabond House are full of natural elements. Truly inspired by the family’s love of nature, nurture, celebration, tradition, and style, each piece is lovingly designed and solidly created. 

 

Their products are exclusively designed to be unique, functional heirlooms for those who seek to express tradition and style in both family and formal entertaining. 

I even have a few more of their cute pieces that feature an owl or two... 

  

My friend Jennifer makes these gorgeous succulent-filled pumpkins and sells them locally. This white one is just divine. 

I set this fun pumpkin on my Owl Cheese Stand, and they just look like they're a match made in heaven. 

And how about these gorgeous Pewter Owl Napkin Rings? These little cuties inspired me to set a chic black and white table.

What I really love about them is they can be used any time of the year, and they're sure to bring a smile to my face!
