I'm Home! A Touch of Winter-Tablescape Thursday

     We returned home on Monday night from 2 weeks in Florida. I still have several pictures and posts to share with you from our trip, but it may be a few days before I really get "back to blogging". My husband is still on vacation, my bags may be unpacked but the laundry isn't done and I'm trying to get my house back to some form of normal. As much as I love the Christmas decorations, I also love the clean, bare look of the house when they are taken down.

     I did a tablescape with my "winter" dishes a few weeks ago and never got around to posting it. My son actually bought these dishes for me a few years ago, and I love them. Please visit our hostess Susan @ Between Naps on the Porch to see all the tables that are being shown this week.

     I used a black tablecloth so that the dishes would really stand out. I'm not sure I really like the look, but they didn't show up on white. The dishes are Pfaltzgraff Winter Frost (2001-2006) and I love the fact that I can use them all winter. 

See the cute little polar bears inside the bowl.

     I found this darling little snow baby box at our local thrift store. I loved the way the colors went so well with the dishes and with my vintage look church that I found at HomeGoods.

     I used my gold flatware, crystal votives and the cut poinsettias that I posted about here. My poinsettias were still perfect after 2 weeks. I actually threw them away before we left on our trip and they were still beautiful. I placed the poinsettias in a small wreath with peacock feathers to add a "pop" of color.

     White napkins with a few sparkly blue berries, a silly snowman and Winter Frost goblets and salt and peppers finished the table.

     I am so sorry that I'm not reading all of your blog posts. I just can't keep up with things until after the holidays. Hopefully everyone else is as busy as I am. Happy New Year to you all!
