A Winter Walk in the Woods - Tablescape

It's Tablescape Thursday again and this week I've set my table for a Winter's Walk in the Woods.




I hope you'll join me.



This is set just for you.



I've seen so many of you use pinecones as placecard holders this year. What a fun idea for our winter tables.



I found these pinecone candle holders this fall at one of my favorite antique/thrift stores "Thru The Garden Gate".



On our walk we may just see a rabbit.....



....or two.



A tan linen tablecloth with Nell Hill woven chargers, Target faux ivory flatware, and my snow white dishes.



Green Jamestown goblets...I've found a complete set of eight gathered over the past two years from Goodwill and thrift stores.



I can't remember where I found these green cloth napkins tucked into the handle of my chargers.....probably Tuesday Morning or Marshall's.



A tabletop overview and.....



....a centerpiece overview.


Time to light the candles and...




....walk back home.

I've been having a difficult time leaving messages on some of your posts. I don't know exactly why, but I'm working on it. Please know how very much I do appreciate your visits....even if you don't hear from me......I'll keep trying.

Thanks to Susan of "Between Naps on the Porch" for all the tabletop fun week after week.

See ya!

Wintery Tablescape

Last year this time we were up to our knees in snow. This year we've been mostly unseasonably warm...but today it's cold and wet (but only with rain)....so far. It seems the only snowflakes this week.....



.....are on my table!



So I've set a wintery blue table with my Dollar Tree goblets resting on snowflakes.



My snowflake tablecloth that I've had for ages, I don't remember where I got it....but that may be more due to my age than the age of the tablecloth!



I've set the cloth at an angle this week.



Snowflakes have fallen on my navy blue napkins.



Do you dress in layers for cold weather? Well here are the winter layers of dishes... clear pressed glass glass bowls layered over.....



crocheted snowflakes layered over.....



blue glass salad plates layered over......



white dinner plates layered over.....



.....big plastic snowflakes (Dollar Tree) as chargers.



Snowy centerpiece of epsom salts in a old Bath and Bodyworks candle sleeve after the candle has finished burning down and a tea light.....along with an assortment of snowflakes.




A snowy sky view.



Sort of looks like a busy blizzard doesn't it?




Let's light the tealights.....



....and enjoy the sparkle! I'm joining "Between Naps on the Porch" for Tablescape Thursday. Hope you'll follow along and visit lots of tables set just for you!

See ya!

Tablescape Thursday - It's Snow Romantic!

It's Tablescape Thursday again! I didn't think I was going to get to play this week because of a busy weekend schedule -- but when it started to sleet and snow this afternoon they closed the buildings at 4:30 (since we have classes from 9am to 9 pm -- I usually work until 6 on Wednesdays) and then choir practice was cancelled -- so I decided to do a last minute table -- full of snow romance!










Welcome to our snow and ice table.
















A place for you!















Winter romance centerpiece

























Our couple gaze loveingly into each others eyes.


















Don't you love a smooth dip?



















The birds gather to watch the waltz.


















The trees are beginning to be covered in snow.




















Tea lights in mercury votives




















Layered snowflake tealight holder over depression glass saucer.




















A better view of the glass snowflake.

Sheer white napkin over white cloth napkin - white ceramic bow napkin ring.




















Layers of dishes and silverware.




















A reflection of the etched glass on the knife.




















Etched glass water and wine glasses.




















Glass salad bowls.




















Over a crystal plate layered over a snowflake and the white Gibson dinner plate.




















Tabletop overview.




















Centerpiece overview.




















A lovely Winter's ball.




















Let's dim the lights.......




















....and let the lover's waltz begin.











Goodnight from our snowy table.


Be sure to visit our hostess Susan of "Between Naps On The Porch" to see lots of talented tabletop designers.


See ya!

(I forgot to take this week's picture of my paperwhite -- only one of the bulbs seems to have decided to grow -- I get another picture up next week)
