~A Snowman and Snowflake Table~

Good New Year's Eve morning! I set a new table for us yesterday and wanted to share it with you. IF I get time today I will do another post on 2 BIG projects we did in 2013 so check back with me if you would! Now, on to the table. I started with a SNOWY white tablecloth, a red placemat, a large snowflake as a charger, a snowflake plate and a snowman plate to top it off.

The snowflake mugs came from Walmart this year. I love them for my hot chocolate in the morning.

I put a plain red napkin and a snowflake napkin together bound by these cute rings. They have all different charms on them; this is the snowflake and

this is the snowman!

I made this new arrangement on the sled this year. I had all the elements so it cost me nothing. The snowman was still in the bag and I used greeens, pinecones, snowball picks and styrofoam balls as snowballs:)

The flocked tree matches the tree on the plate.

I had these cute holders so am using them too.

My pitcher can hold our beverage.

Joe gave me the tree candle this yerar for Christmas but I don't want to unwrap it so it will stay nice for next year:)

I moved the dishes over to show you more of the snowflake:)

This table goes so well in the room since it is filled with my snowmen:)

Some nightime shots for ya!

Christmas Morning Shadow Shots

I know you may be sick of seeing Christmas stuff but just thought I would share some of my shadow shots (you all know I love them:) I love how the sun moves around casting shadows on different things.

I still love my gingerbread bar.

Snowmen on the bakers rack

Shiny deer on the windowsill

Love my snow people lamp:)

Thanks for your visit. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. It isn't over for us yet. We are having 2 parties this weekend; one Sat. and one Sunday so we will be busy the next few days. XO, Pinky

~Christmas Eve Dinner Table~

The table is all set for our Christmas Eve dinner so I thought I would share it with you. I had the runner and deer on the table for the tour but for dinner I removed them and relaced them with these 2 arrangements that I made and some TALL candle holders. This is our place setting, but I removed the salad plates to use for dessert and left the bowls for our salad.

I FINALLY found some pretty napkin sheaths at Pier One and wanted to see what they looked like. I love them but again removed them cause we have a little one and also noone knows where to put it:):)
