TABLESCAPE TUESDAY

Once again it is Tablescape Tuesday hosted by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch. Please stop by her blog for a list of all of those participating in showing their clever tablescapes!



I've set the table for a snack on a cold afternoon using my snowmen dishes from Debbie Mumm. I purchased them several years ago from Target.


I always giggle when I see snowmen (or snow women) with feet!!

For a snack today, we are having Snow on the Mountain
Mini Chocolate Cheesecakes and also Peppermint Sandwich Cookies.



Each snowman plate is different!



For a hot drink on a cold day, how about Hot Chocolate with a snowman 'Peep' marshmallow?



Thanks for stopping by, and please check out the other tablescapes.



Sally

I love your Christmas dishes! I can hardly wait to get mine out of storage and into the china cabinet! Yours are so fun and perfect for the season even if some of the snowmen have feet and make you giggle!! Love it.

That is a perfect table covering for this tablescape. The color looks dead-on and the cross-stitching is beautiful.
The cardinal on the snowman's shoulder is adorable.

Hello Sally!

Thank you so much for stopping by my place and asking about me...I have been a bit "under the weather"...these cold Colorado winters always play a number on my old bones!

Girl, I love your pretty Christmas table...and I have to tell you that I have a "thing" for snowmen or women...hehe!!! Those plates are just the cutest that I've ever seen...wherever did you find them? I couldn't help but notice how that beautiful red embroidered tablecloth set them off...it's gorgeous!!!

Hmmmm...let me see, do I want chocolate cheesecake or a peppermint sandwhich cookie...okay, okay, I'll just take both....hehe!!!

Love ya,
Chari
PS...do you have the recipe for the peppermint sandwhich cookies...they sound scrumptious!!!
