Remember to have an open mind when shopping: These mats were meant to be used on an Asian-style table, but they are right at home in a rustic theme. </div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyMXNGFKqP3tmJhmCcvt4GIt5g8T7C36XR6MJhmzDNDR0Stp4wJB9xi5BLvF6XoV_QHbBX0h2XpceqzLRBsQ7ZmvpaGGhunAgIOjxFjTeIqp_7iuHAziLTr6xh-VSeVhJZn-DczD8jiDu6/s640/Rustic-Christmas-Table-Decorations-2012-Ideas-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 itemprop="name" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Mix and Match</span></h2><div class="desc" itemprop="description"><div style="text-align: center;">Vintage Bakelite flatware from slightly mismatched sets looks perfect side by side. Don’t be afraid to mix and match silverware, plates and glasses.

Serve soup in simple wooden bowls, follow with a salad on a delicate ironstone plate and finish with dinner on a square wooden plate. A crystal goblet adds a touch of elegance, but the wheat pattern ties in to the natural theme.</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8dammicz_xXzGwdb2hdaU7MubjpU32Q6uPcErE-wq-YG5gPtO0NFlCrGqhzNGSQvC3PXkUusKt0GmwmlJZBYH_Smboda5xv0j_W5ir2ecc8Uq9O0DEpyxtJ7BNWqm4TqXn_S4A9Js6ssB/s640/Rustic-Christmas-Table-Decorations-2012-Ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 itemprop="name" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">The Season of Giving</span></h2><div class="desc" itemprop="description"><div style="text-align: center;">A soup bowl doubles as a place card holder and carries an ornament for each guest to take home as a gift.</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2DIcIsj9D4X4QkRPym0Xbt9UeXdSxF7iZ4jkxn0Db4U5-ZA4bnbB9F77oDaRfJ4Yo1AIRVxOBHyigbM1l30aWZwNFvi-aEXJMoN3eNwzVTzKb3lrf_3NGav5CPTSy0MSOElcyzM7mmW-l/s640/Rustic-Christmas-Table-Decorations-2012-Ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 itemprop="name" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Tag It</span></h2><div class="desc" itemprop="description"><div style="text-align: center;">A bundle of fresh cinnamon sticks is wrapped and tied in hemp twine.

Place fresh boughs in a galvanized bucket and swag a wooden bead garland around the greens. Use leftover Christmas tree clippings to fill in the base of the tablescape. </div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzUmdeKugAMzVt8nv1jK0ZDLwS2MoIEq0_hHOTjmPal1JJx9uBd3VKASyW4lh300vXPWs0AaKMlZ-MCbmQKJFsrNoKXjYDTdhXwNsgwJiE45ZJ7I49D-FaxyqD6zs1ei3eGMEDFUCNW60t/s640/Rustic-Christmas-Table-Decorations-2012-Ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 itemprop="name" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">It’s All in the Details</span></h2><div class="desc" itemprop="description"><div style="text-align: center;">Embellish a simple galvanized sap bucket with humble hemp twine and an inexpensive snowflake ornament.
