Winter Day Tablescape

To all the Climate Change naysayer, I say look outside. So far this month (it is twelve days in), we have had record rainfall, floods, severe beach hazard warnings (called sneaker waves - large, life threatening waves that sweep people into the ocean without any warning), and now, snow.  Quite the weather ride! And January is historically our "quiet" weather month.

But Pat took advantage of the weather and set the table in typical Winter style.  She used Pier 1's "Snow Forest" (not quite what we are known for - our native Redwoods and Douglas firs but trees anyway on the plate) and set a snowy, wintery table.

Where it came from:

White Place Mats - from Tuesday Morning years ago

Charger - "Faience Gray" by Chritofle from eBay

Flatware - "Oblique" by Brandani from TJMaxx three years ago

Large Water Glass - from the Dollar Tree

Wine Glass - "Entertain" (House brand) from Bed, Bath, and Beyond years ago

Gray Napkins - Handmade by Pat to match the charger

Black Candle Holders, Candles, Votive Holders, and Snowy Greenery - from Pier 1 over the years

January Formal Tablescape

Inspiration for this week's table came from the soft baby-blue satin napkins that our Great-niece found while shopping for Christmas gifts this year. She immediately thought that we could use them on a table and even came up with the place setting to go with them.

Where it came from:

Charger Plates - "Colonial Blue" Color Spectrum by Mikasa from eBay years ago

Dinnerware - "White Alabaster Niveus" from Pier 1 more than fourteen years ago

Bread and Butter Plates - Thrifted by Pat from Tailwaggers (a thrift store dedicated to animal rescue and rehoming)

Satin Napkins - a gift from our Bother's Granddaughter

Crystal Napkin Rings - from our Mother's collection

Flatware - "Musee" by Reed & Barton from Horchow years ago

Glassware - "Lady Diamond" by Cristal d'Arques-Durand from Ross at least fifteen years ago

Glass Candle Holders - from TJMaxx five or six years ago
