Winter Warm Up!

Last week I created an icy tablescape, completely void of color. Well, after getting two and a half feet of snow in the last week, I am ready to warm things up with color! I decided to set a lunch table for some steaming hot soup and salad. 

First, here is what the great outdoors looks
like in my neck of the woods!





Now, are you ready to see some color?





See, I wasn't kidding!




Are you warming up?






A simple glass bowl of fruit repeats the colors.



I hope these dishes purchased from
Goodwill don't make you dizzy!



I decided to alternate striped bowls and solid ones,
and green napkins and gold ones.






















I found some colorful salt & pepper shakers, too!














Is it spring yet?

Thank you for visiting and I hope you stay warm!



I will be joining:
Tablescape Thursday
Table Top Tuesday

Dinner On Ice!

I would love to be doing a spring tablescape, but it's hard to get away from winter. As I write this, I don't know if the groundhog saw his shadow, but living in Colorado, we always see six more weeks of winter. At the least!

So, I decided to create an ice-scape this week.













You may recognize the tree I used here.
I removed the leaves, and hung glass icicles.







All of the dishes came from Goodwill!





 















My tablescape started to change as the sun was going down.
































At the risk of melting my whole tablescape, I lit the candles.















Ice can certainly take many forms. A few years ago,
I took this photo of our dining room window.

I think Mother Nature is quite the artist!



I hope you enjoyed my tablescape!

I will be joining Tablescape Thursday
