Snowflakes & Snowmen

Some of you may have already met my Snow Family but in case you haven't, let me introduce them.
Here is Mr. Frosty....
 his lovely wife, Mrs. Frosty...
 And their cute son, Snowboy.
This little family was the inspiration for my snow themed tablescape and made a "cool" centerpiece that coordinated with the weather outside.
The family was placed on a footed tray surrounded by a white feather boa and cordless LED lights. A trio of glass trees and a vase of snowflake picks were added as well.
I opted for a blue tablecloth to make the white items stand out more.
Yep, its still Christmas at our house! No, not lazy...we love it and always leave our decorations up well into January.

Alas, no new dishes and I don't own any "snowflake" ones (yet!) so I went with these blue/white ones.
I was very pleased with myself for making these napkin rings rather than running out and buying the pretty silver snowflake ones I saw downtown for $5 each! (just tied some silver snowflakes with hole in center to a white napkin ring with white ribbon - about as "crafty" as I get!)
I created these placecard holders using martini glasses and faux snow & snowflakes.

 Snowflake candleholders set on mirrors
(all by Partylite)

 The glass pillar candle holders were a Christmas gift from my daughter.


Trio of glass trees were purchased at a local gift shop called Inspiration Gift Boutique  
(so many pretties there!)

A winter wonderland outside too!

We go from a "Snowflake Luncheon" to more of a dinner party look....

The Frosty Family and I thank you for stopping by!  Now hurry on your way and have some fun checking out the other beautiful tablescapes linked to the party at Between Naps on the Porch!
I will also be linking to The Tablescaper's Seasonal Sundays.  You'll want to pop over there this weekend too!

  1. How beautiful!!! I love snowmen and I love blue & white. I used blue & white for my winter tablescape, as well. Mine is no where near as pretty as yours, tho! I guess you could say that I am a "beginner" when it comes to tablescapes. :)

  2. The glass snowmen in the centerpiece are wonderful. I like using mirrors on the table to set things on. Looks like ice! The whole table is gorgeous.

  3. We leave ours up until after my birthday, Jan. 8th, but most is down now, not the tree though! I love your adorable family of snowmen and snowboy too. The whole table just sparkles like the snow. It is fantastically done.

  7. I'm glad you left your Christmas decorations up because it's even lovelier against them as a backdrop. I love all the white and blue, and your napkin rings are so cute that I can't imagine the five dollar ones could look any cuter!

  9. Oh, this is just absolutely ADORABLE! And you have the perfect backdrop for these cute snowmen with your wintery white outside. I adore this table. Every detail is perfect.

    Hope you'll come visit me, too. I'm being a bit rebellious and am doing a fall table tonight, but I am also giving away some china. Drop by if you get a chance!

    Happy Tablescape Thursday!

    XO,
