So delighted for the opportunity to deck the dining room and style 

pretty pieces from the dazzling Starbucks Holiday & Dot Collection! 

In fact, you can pull up a chair at the holiday brunch table setting right now  on

Starbucks News on line! 

 Great fun sharing an afternoon with Linda Thomas, the managing editor of

on line news for Starbucks and Starbucks photographer Francisco Ramos-Sabugo Rodriguez! 

{Thank you!!}

 Here is a peek  at a few of the magical  holiday entertaining images from our 

photo shoot! The holiday table includes, a crave-worthy assortment of Starbucks first-ever Dot Collection

holiday mugs and tumblers!  Each cup is brimming with fresh flowers,

holiday greens and Starbucks goodies!  Choose the seat that suits you.

 Many of the Dot designs have a cool back story…detailing

the inspiration behind the design which gives each Dot piece a nice personal connection.

There is a design to fit just about every personality on your holiday list!

I pulled the pink, red, white and gold

holiday color palette from the merry & bright Starbucks

Christmas Blend packaging. {Swoon!} 

{My mom was partial to a “pink Christmas “ so now I’m feeing a

little soulful connection!} 

The rich flavored Christmas Blend is a popular Starbucks holiday tradition.

Each festive holiday place setting also showcases a Starbucks monogram gift card.

So many card themes to choose from and ways to display them!

 while fresh  cranberry garlands swag the sweet little holiday coffee/cocoa bar.  I cleared off a shelf to

make room for the iconic Seattle skyline and few entertaining extras…

…and then got busy warming up one of the

 “spirited”  cocoa concoctions shared by Starbucks. YUM! The petite cups are perfect for

a grownup holiday coffee bar or kids’ table!  

You can find the drink recipe and more, on Starbucks News on line!
