Winter Blue & White

Yeah! Time for another Tablescape Thursday!  This great meme is hosted by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch.  Be sure to check out the fabulous tablescape Susan will have for us as well as those that link up.  (Click on button)




I am doing a repeat of a winter tablescape I posted when I first started my blog.  It only had one comment then so I'm pretty sure it will seem new to most of you.


This tablescape started with some lovely blue and white plates I received as a Christmas gift last year from my dear daughter. I love the delicate pattern on the border. 



I put them with some square bowls I had, setting the bowls on an angle for a different look. (Bowls were from a set I got at a local boutique)



For a centerpiece, I used a Snowflake Hurricane Shade by Partylite surrounded by an icy wreath and blue/white battery operated LED lights.
 




On each end of the table, I placed a trio of candle holders, also by Partylite, with floating candles inside. A mirror coaster and acrylic ice chips add to the frosty look.



Square vases filled with faux snow and a votive holder flank each side of the centerpiece. Each place setting has individual silver coloured votive holders surrounded by faux silver berries.




While I love the frosty look of this winter tablescape, I think I'm ready for some colour and am looking forward to the upcoming Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day tablescapes.


Did you notice my "blooper"? I had taken away a silver charger to use elsewhere and forgot to put it back before taking pictures! Oops!



...Now pour yourself a nice hot cup of tea and relax while you take a virtual trip around Blogland accepting all of the invitations into dining rooms, kitchens and cozy nooks to see a miriad of tablescapes!

  20. That is absolutely beautiful. You have such gorgeous tablescapes -- I've never really seen anything quite like it. Do you also cook? Do you cook a lot? I have never set up such a beautiful table.! I could learn a lot from you.

  38. Beautiful tablescape. That wreath with the battery operated lights is so unique and pretty. Great use of mirrors to reflect all of the sparkle. (I almost never look at a photo of a tablescape on my blog that I don't find something I moved while taking a photo and forgot to put back!). laurie

  43. Wow! I just discovered your blog. What delightful ideas you have. I love how you created the icy winter look without using much color, yet still managed to make it appear warm and cozy. I am throwing my friends a party after Christmas, using my white snowflake hurricane as my centerpiece for the first time. Thanks for such inspiration.

  44. Love your dishes and center pieces. Mind sharing where you found the mirror coasters/centerpiece? Faux snow? I have some decorative snowflake ornaments that I've used for our Christmas tree for years. I wonder if I could use them like you have used them. How would I use them for hanging in living room window? Organdy ribbons, fishing line? How could I respray them and add glitter?

  45. This is just what I have been looking for, something that is winter themed, not Christmas. BEAUTIFUL!
