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
