Winter Dining Room Table, 2018

Good morning my friends. As you read this I am at the hospital with My Joe. he is having open heart surgery to replace his aortic valve. And prayers that you might offer are GREATLY appreciated. I will be at the hospital all week, he will be there for 4 to 5 days.
Now, onto the dining room. I set a table for winter to greet our guests. We won't have guests as such but rather visitors:) I didn't have to do a lot to change the table from Christmas to Winter.

I did switch to these winter salad plates with the pine branches.

And I made an arrangement in my leopard vase.

I switched to this beautiful gold and balck runner as well.

At dusk we light the candles, which are all LED.

Except for the ones in the mercury glass holders.

Icy branches and snowy pine cones make up the arrangement.

The little trees that were on the plate stck are replaced with the leopard votives.

I decided to add some snowflakes to the wine glasses.

Thanks so much for your visit. Joe and I have been VERY busy getting all the Christmas away. We have been going through the process (of preparing for this surgery) since Oct. but just found out last Thurs. that surgery would be on Tuesday! The anticipation has been very hard. We both just want it over with and he can start to recuperate.
