It's Snowing.......In My Dining Room!


It's snowing, not outside but in my Dining Room! Snowflakes seem to be everywhere this year and my Dining Room is no exception. The thing I love about anything related to snow (snowflakes, snowmen) is that they can be used right up until Spring.


My inspiration actually started when I spotted this ornament at Michael's. It complimented the colors of my room and for some reason it reminded me of a snowy day. Once I had these I just started pulling objects from throughout my house that would help me create a "Snowy" Christmas table.


It came together quickly and I love the result. I used several items of antique silver. Each place setting has a small wrapped package. Is is real!? I guess only Santa knows! :-)


My favorite touch is the "snow tree" created with branches from my yard spray painted white and sprinkled with just a touch of white glitter.


Next up.....gingerbread cookies shaped like snowflakes for each place setting. I found this cookie cutter set at Williams Sonoma and I can't wait to get started.


How about you? Is is snowing in your house this Christmas?

  3. How beautiful!! :)

    And funny that you ask - because why yes... it was snowing in our house in December. Literally from the ceiling. You'd have to go back and search my December blogs to see it, but there were snowflakes from the ceiling with cards for my daughter's Sweet 16 Birthday (a Snow Shower of Cards). We left those snowflakes up all through the month of December and just finally took them down a couple of days past New Year's Day.

    That's about the only snow we've seen, outside of a beautiful dusting we received a couple of days past Christmas. Our weather drought remains - it's sunny nearly every single day and warm. Not what one would think of January in the north. I'm hoping we get at least a few snowstorms this winter.

    Blessings always,
    Linda
