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.

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.

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.

Christmas Buffalo Plaid Table

Last week I shared my mixed poinsettia planter.  This week I made a Christmas tablescape using a Christmas buffalo plaid tablecloth I got last year at  after Christmas sales.  I placed the mixed poinsettias on a sliced log with a few pine cones and white bird salt and pepper shakers.

Thanksgiving Table for Two

Thanksgiving is a national holiday celebrated on various dates in the United States, Canada, Brazil, Grenada, Saint Lucia, and Liberia, and the sub-national entities Leiden, Norfolk Island, and Puerto Rico. It began as a day of giving thanks and sacrifice for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year. 

 

 

This year I will not gather with a large group for my Thanksgiving celebration.  Instead a simple meal for two will be shared at my table. My inspiration for my small Thanksgiving table is the thrift store angel I got last year.  The ceramic angel holds a pumpkin and the words “Give Thanks” adorn her skirt.  Perfect for my Thanksgiving lunch.
