One of my gifts this past Christmas was a set of dishes from my mother-in-law. She found them at her favorite thrift store and just knew I would love them. She was right! I do! So, I had to set a new Let It Snow tablescape to show them off to you.
The set came with a dinner plate, dessert plate, bowl and mug. Aren't they precious?
She was >< this close to keeping them for herself as she loves snowmen but knew that I would love to set a table with them.
Luckily, I had saved out some snowflakes from the Dollar Tree before Mr. B put all of the Christmas decor bins back up in the garage.
I scattered a few in different sizes around the table.
The silver and white penguin set I picked up at an estate sale a few years ago sit on a silver thread runner and make up the centerpiece.
Ah-Dorbs!! Look at that face!!
The littlest one makes me laugh. So cute!
My vintage Rogers silver plated flatware sits nicely on round white placemats.
Snowflake stems from the Dollar Tree years ago also fit the theme of the tablescape.
Silver candlesticks from IKEA resemble icicles don't they? Fire and ice!
I just love this special gift of dishes from my dear friend and mother-in-law. I know that she loved watching me create this special tablescape with something given from her heart.
