Snowman Tablescape

In honor of the chance (slim as it is) that we may have a bit of snow at some point this winter I put together these Snowman tablescapes.  It is so happy looking and bright it is just perfect for dreary January days.  Won't you join me for a tour of two tablescapes sure to brighten your day?

The first tablescape is my dining room.  I love, love, love crystal so I loaded this table with lots of it. 

The plates are Food Network from Kohl's.  The plates were a Christmas gift from Wonder Hubby about 3 years ago.  He used all that Kohl's cash smart guy that he is!  I went through a nothing but square plates phase and these were from that time frame.

You have seen my shaded crystal candlesticks before, they are so versatile I use them all time. The hanging crystals could be icicles, don't you think?

The cake plate/snowman stand is from Burton and Burton.  I love all the soft colors of the snowman but he is extra special since I had to get really ugly to keep him in a serious dirty Christmas incident several years ago.  Anyone that knows me should have known once I got this goodie I would do whatever it took to take him home with me, duh.  I'm just a little competitive that way!

The napkins, napkin rings and placemats came as gifts from Hubby.   I love the silver sparkle in them.  The napkin rings are new this year and a great improvement from the plastic snowflake napkin rings I had fashioned last winter!

The dessert dishes are also a gift from Wonder Hubby.  He spotted these in a antique store in the summer of 2010 and hid them till Christmas 2010. 

I love how the candlelight makes all the crystal sparkle.

Now we are on to my breakfast nook snowman table. 

The plates are from Kohl's as are the placemats and napkin rings....yes all gifts from Wonder Hubby.

Of course I managed to work in a little Fiesta.  I love my red pitcher, it is my favorite (well at least until spring and then I bet yellow wins out, I'm fickle that way).   The plates have the cutest raised snowman design...I almost hate to cover them with food :)

The centerpiece is from my store.   He is on springs so he adds a little action to meals!  I always used it to decorate the store and could have sold it a million times but I kept it just for me.

The candles are ice cubes and snowballs.  I am amazed how many ways I find to use them.  The ice cubes are great in the summer.   The glasses are 1980s Fostoria....wedding gifts...still love them. 

I hope touring my tablescapes brightened your day.  Thanks for stopping by.
