Wintry February Tablescape (T)

Winter greetings!

I clustered a bouquet of mums into na artichoke tulipiere vase.

Theoretically I should have used smaller flowers but it turned out kind of fun.

You can see the layers of the tulipiere

This is top but the holes are so small I couldn't get the stems to poke in them.

The crystal with ice and water represent the outside weather. I kept things cool with lots of white and the stainless flatware. (glasses are called Trellis by Fitz & Floyd)

The white mums are like a snowy foundation highlighted with a rich palette of colors. I love how the dishes pick up on them.

These are by Pottery Barn with no name (from a few years ago).

I chose antique pewter accented flatware and napkin rings, white napkins, white chargers and white dinner plates. Keeping it cool!

These two metal patterns always go together nicely!

Williams Sonoma tablecloth called Vintage Floral Jacquard, a real favorite of mine!

I love these colors and their texture. I hope the green ones will open up too! I've had them home since Sunday.

As you can see we are still snowy here and expecting more!

I'll just stare at these instead!

I'll be joining:

Valentine's Inspired Tablescape (T)

My amaryllis are lovely right now and made for some good cut flowers so I decided to use them for my Valentine's Inspired Tablescape!

I sure have enjoyed these for the past couple of months!

I gathered some of my Valentine's deco and had some fun with it!

This little piggy is all dolled up for Valentine's Day, and is sitting on a pair of gold hearts with an arrow through it. I scattered some red glass pieces for fun!

Isn't she cute! Aren't those some crazy eyelashes!

I had these heart plates from Pier 1 from several years ago. I used a black outlined dinner plate to frame the heart dishes. The white chargers, crackle wine glasses were from Pier 1 and so were the heart napkins.

I used a gold napkin ring to go with the gold hearts.

I double layered the heart napkins with a black & white check and repeated the black with the flatware and dinner plate.

I chose this red and white rooster talecloth that I got from the April Cornell website a couple of years ago.

I had a terrible time with these photos. It's a very overcast day, snowing and I just couldn't get

enough light, so I altered all of my pics to be brighter.

Cheers to Valentine's Day!

Hot Cocoa Anyone? (T)

Feeling like some hot cocoa for lunch! Come along and join me!

After viewing Pam's tablescape of Everyday Living I decided to incorporate some blue with tartan. I layered a white charger, my blue Devon Cottage dishes along with the Toile dishes from Pier 1.(Snowland Village) and Silver snowflakes wrapping the fork and napkin.

Here's a collage of the four different patterns of these dishes. (Pier 1, Snowland Village)

I put together four different adorably shaped seasonal mugs with candy canes. You can stir your hot cocoa with them!

I love this swet reindeer face the most!

I reused the arrangement I had in my last tablescape. I cut pieces back significantly to fit into this candle votive that I'm using for a vase.

Hot cocoa (didn't have marshmallows but will get some!)

My amaryllis are blooming away. All three colors are out now.

So glad we aren't getting all that snow that's predicted for the East coast, but praying for them as this is predicted to be a big one!

Thanks for joining me!

A Bit of Gold, A Bit of Red, and Poinsettias! (T)

Welcome! Continuing in "red" I put together this tablescape with a refined yet casual look.

Ugh the lighting was terrible and this was a noon!

A bouquet from Costco that I just cut down and re-arranged. It was a nice cheerful mix of red, green and white. I waited for the lilies to start opening but by then the hydrangeas were going down hill, so I cut them back and placed them lower down.

The Merry Christmas placemats came from Home Goods by 34th & Pine, last year. The red plates are by Lenox and the poinsettias plates (and pitcher) are by 222 Fifth, called Winter Harmony

I used the Christmas tree napkin rings from Pier 1 also from last year. I don't know about anyone else but I'm really not happy with their website and their offerings anymore. Nothing is "Pier 1" any longer.

The candy cane Christmas trees were from Home Goods I think (UPDATE-actually they were from Michael’s) last year too. I borrowed them from my kitchen window vignette!

These pewter birds were added just for fun and they pick up the coloring of the trivet I used for the florals.

I got the tablecloth from Crate & Barrel a few years back.

The gold rimmed glasses pick up the the gold rimmed dinner plates and the silver picks up on the birds and trivet! You can mix your metals!

Time to gather!

BE MINE (T)

Won't you Be Mine!
I thought I'd show my table in stages as I built it...

I came across these at Home Goods on mark down. The starry dishes are by Sara Miller London, Portmeirion Celestial Collection. The glittery gold chargers were part of a set of 4

The "Love" dishes came from Hobby Lobby. I accented them with a chocolate heart! The gold rimmed stemware were also from Home Goods. I borrowed the center glass tray from under my cloche nearby. My theme quickly became gold and red!

Then I brought in my "Red Velvet" Amaryllis that I've been growing for the last month for my centerpiece.
