After work tonight I decided to do a quickie table to celebrate winter. With about 5 feet of snow on the ground, I may as well embrace the season because it will be a long time until spring.
The dinner plate has this charming country winter scene. I would guess these plates are from the 1950's, but I am not sure. Royal made a lot of patterns. I could not find much information on this one. Even replacements.com did not have this pattern.
The salad plates are slightly different depicting children ice skating on a pond.

A lovely as these are, I rarely use them. You know why? I think that food is much less appealing when it is served on a patterned plate. I like a nice pattern on the rim, but I prefer the middle to be a solid color.
On with the table....I used these glasses because I think they sort of look like snow (even though they are really flowers). If you don't look too closely, they remind me of snowflakes.

I mean I've seen decorating madness before, doll houses, barbies, all the things housewives like to play with but I've never bumped into this before. :-)

Peace!
I am starting just to buy two new dinner plates at a time for variety, since it's just usually the two of us. I have 4-5 regular dishes and a few sets of good dishes. Thanks for the inspiration.

Your photographs are gorgeous. I will come here for inspiration and if I'm not able to manage anything creative, at least I can look at your pictures. :)
I really like the idea of TableScaping. Unfortunately, I live in a semi truck full time and don't get to be a homemaker these days! Oh well.
