Lots of layers (kinda like we have to wear in this weather!!)
The top salad plate has an embossed snowflake pattern. Very subtle and understated.
Galvanized snowflakes at each place setting. No two were alike...just like a real snowflake! The snowflakes were picked up in the Christmas aisle at Wal-Mart several years ago.
As unbelievable as it seems, I got these three little snowmen at 75% off at a Hallmark store after Christmas several years ago. Who wouldn't want these little guys to come home with them?
The rest of the snowmen and snowflakes. The galvanized serving tray looks very much like the Pottery Barn tray. This one is from Ross for less than seven dollars!
The giant snowflake in between the layers is also a Christmas ornament. I found them at the Dollar Tree. They are used in the tablescape only as decoration in the layering process.
They do look lovely and lacey as they poke out the sides.

ReplyDeleteYour wintertime table is adorable...love the snow flakes, snowmen and especially the tray!!
I love ANYthing that even resembles anything from PB. ! :O)
I am the ONLY person in the Land of Blog that loves winter and is hanging onto it for dear life. *sigh...I am just a wintertime girl, I guess. Just love everything about it...
Lori, that is the cutest table...love the centerpiece. I am sick of winter, too...enough is enough, bring on spring!

This is so beautiful and creative! I can't wait to see your St Patrick table, i think you were pulling my leg ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea~mixing all those textures into a snow theme! Very unique and beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog..I've always wanted to do a 'book' tablescape, just never had the right reason to do it before!!
Blessings!
Myrna
I love it all!
ReplyDeleteI am with you on wanting winter to go away. I awoke to fresh snow this morning. But, I like the galvanized idea on your table. I'll try to remember it for next winter. Wish I could come across some of those snowflakes! Happy spring to you (soon)!
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic. I love the fact that you had a different take on winterscape. The mix was eclectic as well as interesting. Can't see what you do in the spring.
ReplyDeleteFrom one Lori to another....let it go Lori, let it go. Winter is over. Spring is coming I promise. Breathe in, breathe out. Now double tape those boxes of winter decor closed and put them away and bring out the daffodils.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely snowscape! I like how you used the cookie cutters for napkin rings! Good idea! The snowflake embossed plate is real pretty too. I put all my snow items away. I just couldn't stand it anymore. I want spring and sunny days. Joan
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - and even though I'm TIRED of snow here in Western New York, I'd be happy to sit at this setting anytime! So much thought and beauty! Simply, gorgeous! Thanks for sharing. Great job!
ReplyDeleteClever idea and so beautifully done. Pat yourself on your back for this one. Jackie
ReplyDeleteI, too, am ready for winter and especially snow to leave us. But I must say, your tablescape is just wonderful. I love the galvanized pieces and I am partial to snowmen so your centerpiece is spot on for me.
ReplyDeleteLori, beautiful tablecloth!!! Love the snowmen too. Awesome tablescape.
