Let it Snow...Let it Snow

 It is snowing in Kleinmachnow.....yes we are finally getting some snow. Now for my fellow germans, we got a lot of snow, but for this Illinois Girl it was a nice start...but by far not enough!!!!!

 On days like this, I tend to sit at my desk and surf the web.......Facebook, PeopleMag, Yahoo News and of course Pinterest! Everytime I open Pinterest, I find so many ideas that I want to try out......just not enough time in a day. Recently I stumbled on Arhaus.com.....wow what cool a site. Seeing as tablescapes are my thing, I of course checked out their dining room tables and dishes and stemware.. all the fun stuff!


 But for now, grab that cup of coffee and enjoy my snowy tablescape!

Once again....cricut explore to the rescue......Love my light blue snow flakes

 

Wishing everyone a happy day!

 Tablescaping has truly become a passion of mine. This year I hoping to publish my first book of tablescapes. Since I live in Germany, the book will be written in german by a friend of mine.

 This past week I tackeled the task of putting away all the Christmas Decorations....WOW, what a job and I think, no I know, my Christmas Decoration Collection has expanded has I had to go to Ikea to get more storage boxes(DARN!!!!) Now that the holidays are over I am trying out some new ideas for winter tablescapes.

 Here is the first one.......

Thank you Mr. Ikea.....the votives are perfect for this table design

The blue dishes are from my mother in law...I think they go quite well with this design

Ah, my two fellows. They were my splurge for the Christmas Season 2016. Although they were bought for Christmas, I feel they work in this table setting as well.

love his eyes

I took my pine cones and pimped them with a little silver spray

Wishing you all a happy Sunday Evening....be sure to stop by later this week for my second winter setting.

Christmas Tablescape......Take 2

The Christmas 2016 Season maybe over, but I still have some tablescapes to share with you. This one was co-created with my son Mike. He is our up and coming cinematographer and has a great eye for color. This whole tablescape began with a Santa Hat as the centerpiece... my son suggested some black bulbs and well to make a long story short....my santa table turned into a Mickey Mouse Table! And may I say we all were truly happy with the outcome.

Mickey Mouse....the star of this tablescape. Mickey was a gift from my girlfriend Kirstina who lives in Florida.

I live in Germany, so finding Mickey Mouse Confetti is not easy....but no worries I have a Cricut Cutting Machine.

Since this tablescape was for a Christmas Breakfast, I of course had to use my Christmas Egg Warmers....... I bought a set years ago at Butlers.

The Tablecloth came from Ikea...it is actually a bed sheet! Ikea has bed sheets in all colors and various sizes..a great and inexpensive tablecloth.

I really do love my set of white dishes. We got a the whole set as wedding gifts...27 years ago!

These little santas are a part of a set that my nieces and nephew made for me when they were little

Can you spot the hidden Mickey?

Wishing you all a happy week.....
