One More Time
![]()
Just one more time ~ one more snowman tablescape ~and then I'm moving on to something other than snow andsnowmen and winter.So ~ how do you like this little guy? He's the star of this week's table and family gathering.Since becoming addicted to dishes and setting pretty tables, I have found the secret to enjoying my dishes (and justifyingmy guilt), is to share them with others. Out of this discovery has come our every other month dinners with my Mother andfour sisters who live nearby.We gather at someone's home, make great food and I bringmy dishes. So here's our fun table for January. I can tell you all about the frilly ruffled place mats . . . my white dinner plates and double-print napkins . . . and the pretty stemware. But what I really want to tell you about is the wonderful timewe have together reconnecting after busy days and hectic lives. The age difference between my oldest and youngest sisters is20 years, but on this night, at this table, we are more than just mother and daughters ~ we are friends enjoying quality time together. And I have found more important than anypretty table ~ are the people at the table. ~Linking withBetween Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday
I so agree with your beautiful words at the end of this post! As much as I adore looking at these gorgeous pictures it is so nice to know that you will have loved ones sitting at the table with you and sharing a meal together!
ReplyDeleteBlessings and best wishes always,

He is just the cutest snowman ever! I love him. We are super cold but at least no snow, just freezing, freezing, freezing.
ReplyDeleteYour table setting is beautiful but you're right, the most beautiful thing is the time spent with loved ones!
ReplyDeleteI love snowmen AND those dishes but I was surprised at seeing him in February because I had my front door open all day and snowmen were the furthest thing from my mind on a day like today *smile*! Thanks for the reminder that it is still winter and that a lot of people are still getting snow and building snowmen!
What a charming way to spend time with the important women of your life. I adore those cute snowmen dishes.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post! You have captured the true meaning of "sharing the table". Thanks so much for your beautiful tablesetting, but mostly for your beautiful words!

Darling plates! Pack those guys up and come on over. My snowmen are serving lunch today. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLike you, I like to set a table that is actually going to be used for a meal. After all it's the sharing of the food with family and friends that makes a meal complete. A beautiful table is icing on the cake. ~ Sarah
Hearing of the wonderful time spent together has made these cute little snowmen absolutely beautiful..

ReplyDeleteI say use your snowmen plates as much as possible. It will be spring before you know it, not that we aren't looking forward to it, lol.

And I have found more important than any
ReplyDeletepretty table ~ are the people at the table. ...nothing is more true, enjoy every minute with your mother and sisters, they won't always be here.
Beautiful table...the snowmen plates go so nicely with the placemat.
The snowman plates are so cute, but I adore the frilly placemats. I love how the napkins bring out the colors of the plates.
ReplyDeleteSo true about the people at the table...I always find that my guests come 'out of themselves' when a table is set with the purpose of making them feel special. Your snowmen plates are the neatest ones that I've seen this season...precious! I love them with the aqua ruffled placemats...great color choices. Thank you for sharing your delightful design.
