Let It Snow Tablescape~2015 Edition

If you have been with me awhile you may remember the Let It Snow tablescape I set a few years back when we were in our other house.

One of my gifts this past Christmas was a set of dishes from my mother-in-law. She found them at her favorite thrift store and just knew I would love them. She was right!  I do! So, I had to set a new Let It Snow tablescape to show them off to you.

The set came with a dinner plate, dessert plate, bowl and mug.  Aren't they precious?

She was >< this close to keeping them for herself as she loves snowmen but knew that I would love to set a table with them. 

Luckily, I had saved out some snowflakes from the Dollar Tree before Mr. B put all of the Christmas decor bins back up in the garage.

I scattered a few in different sizes around the table.

The silver and white penguin set I picked up at an estate sale a few years ago sit on a silver thread runner and make up the centerpiece.

Ah-Dorbs!! Look at that face!!

The littlest one makes me laugh.  So cute!

My vintage Rogers silver plated flatware sits nicely on round white placemats. 

Snowflake stems from the Dollar Tree years ago also fit the theme of the tablescape.

Silver candlesticks from IKEA resemble icicles don't they?  Fire and ice!

I just love this special gift of dishes from my dear friend and mother-in-law. I know that she loved watching me create this special tablescape with something given from her heart.

Let It Snow~Snowman Table

Yes, I did work in the yard some this weekend.
Yes, it was in the 60's.
And yes, it is now cold.
Yes, it is still winter here so, I decided to set,
what I hope to be, my final tablescape for this season.

I had purchased this set of 4 snowman plates at Goodwill several years ago.
I paid 49 cents each for them at the time.

Each one has a different snowman scene on them.

Then, on a different shopping trip to Goodwill I found the matching mugs!

Also on sale for 49 cents each!

What I especially love about them is that they all have red cardinals on them. 
My favorite bird even though we don't see them here.
I chose a red charger to compliment the sweet birds.

The napkins were another thrift store find at $1.50 for four of them. 

Small rectangular blue baking dishes from Michael's at each setting
hold the makings for hot cocoa to keep us warm.

The centerpiece is a gathering of my favorite snowmen and women that I saved out
when we packed Christmas away.

My mother-in-law loves snowmen.  She says they are always happy.

Look how happy they look sitting on those rounds of ice! 

Snowflake votives from Yankee candle must be helping to keep them warm.

Or, maybe it's the snowflake tapers set high in crystal holders?

I wonder if they will be as happy as I will be to see Spring arrive?

I know the warm sun will melt them away but, I know too

that summer will pass too quickly and

the snowmen will once again make an appearance on my lawn

and on my table.

I always share my tables with
