At the grocery store there was a small bouquet of 6 roses. Three were pink and three were a creamy white. I trimmed the short stems and arranged them in a crystal bowl with greenery from the yard. My dining table had a vintage lace tablecloth on it. I placed a natural fiber woven mat in the center of the table and added my bowl of roses. I like contrasting textures.

Winter Snowman Table
Several years ago I got a really cute thrift store snowman in blue, white, and silver. Last year I never got to use him as I used the blue, white, and silver Santa for my table. I was determined to make a table with him this year.
December Snowman Table
Several months ago I visited a new thrift store. They have lots of household goods. I wandered around looking and found a set of 4 cute snowman salad or dessert plates for a couple of dollars. I just love snowmen. This is my fourth snowman table.
Summer Red, White, & Blue Table
It’s almost July and it’s time for a red, white, and blue summer table. Today’s offering is a casual table set for a patritoic celebration. First I added a white tablecloth to the table. Then I used my new bright blue placemats with my white plates. A Dollar Tree red star paper plate tops the place setting. For those of you who don’t live in the USA, it’s just a fun table with colors used by many countries. Did you know that 29 countries use these 3 colors in their flags?
Cheery Yellow May Table
For the last several years I’ve made a yellow table for May, but I wasn’t planning to make one this year. Then I find sunny yellow placemats in the store and knew it was again time for a May yellow table. I enjoy collecting vintage dinnerware at thrift stores. I have 3 salad plates in the Corelle pattern Spring Meadow which was made in 1977. There is something about the little pastel flowers which I find cheerful.
A Pig & Azalea
My little azalea has been blooming steadily for the last few weeks. Today it’s on the dining table with my little pig with wings.
Winter Wonderland Table

Winter Wonderland Santa
I wanted a different look on the dining table. Last year I bought a thrift store scarf that is filled with winter images of snow in winter white and blues. I put it on my table on a white tablecloth and added my blue Santa with several small snowman. pine trees, and silver ribbon. Small silver glass ornaments are nestled around them.
