I took a quick peek at some of the Tablescape Tuesday entries from Susan's Between Naps on the Front Porch beautiful blog...Pat's beautiful setting, and Susan's breakfast divine, and Kathleen E purple wishes...all so beautiful with lovely vintage pieces or fine china....and now you get this! I used Mr.Linky late last night to sign up, hope I did it correctly...
GUESS WHO CAME FOR DINNER???
He had excellent table manners, chewed with his mouth closed, and never wiped his mouth on his snow, I mean sleeve....
He was however, sweating his buns off!
Why did I buy these dishes??? Aw..come on, they are cute...and I have 4 little grandchildren and BEST of all, I got them last year in the drug store after Cmas, 90% off...
And since we have snowmen around here till March, and they don't have Cmas on them, I figured I could use them a few times till we head towards March...
The mittens are perfect for soup, or salad, and the little snowman can hold anything....so for .38 cents for a dinner plate...who could pass them up..not me...
The sled holding the handmade snowman is part of a Radio Flyer display set on got on ebay..
also included, wagon, tricycle, wheelbarrow and tiny wagon. I have used them for buffet tables, to hold diff foods...
And if you thought those were bad...how about these....Pfaltzgraff Bird of Paradise...in the clearance center ....from the corner of my eye as I was checking out, plate, salad, bowl, mug..
I know the bowl is big enough to take a bath in....and it's kind of funky...but
.86 cents for the whole Pfaltzgraff setting...
IT LOOKS LIKE A COOKIE...
but it's not...
I had some oatmeal cookie dough left over, and some apples, so it became oatmeal apple crisp....
Thanks for stopping by, stay warm...
Kathleen... I love your snowflake table! It is really cute. Looks so bright and cheery.... great for a wintery day!
ReplyDeleteYour table makes me smile!

Kathleen, you are my idol. only you could set a table for 86 cents a place! You never fail to make me smile, and LOL!
ReplyDeleteand our weather is perfect for those dishes! the g-kids will love them, what kid wouldn't want to have soup in a mitten? Very cute!
hey, keeping with your theme, you should have snow cones for dessert :)
ReplyDeleteAnd iceberg lettuce, and Baked Alaska, and Snow Crabs, etc. etc....:)
ReplyDeleteI love your snowman table! Not all meals should be served on elegant china. ;o)
ReplyDeleteThose mittens are too cute & I love how you layered the snowflake & the round placemat.
Ok...I am so trying to get over the apple cobbler....think...oh, yeah, the red snowflake table is precious. I have the same darling sled...but never used on the table...hmmm, maybe a bowl of cobbler would help my brain (better not, it only goes to my hips).
ReplyDeleteDarling and sweet for winter, can I come over for soup and sledding?
ReplyDeleteThanks, I enjoy the whimsy of this tableset.

Kathleen.. if I set this table for my grandchildren, they might actually stay at the table for the entire meal! I love it!
ReplyDeleteblissfully, Dixie
I love that the TT girls are going to get to know you through your wonderful tablesettings and humor as well as the wfd girls do! The snowman table is so cute and able to be used until it's time for Valentine's day because they are not Christmasy. I think my favorites are the mitten bowls!
ReplyDeleteThe bargain queen with the 86 cent tablesetting. Unless they use paperplates, I don't think anyone can copy that!
Frosty came to dinner and has his own place card and even the place card holder is a snowflake. This is one of my favorites. It's bright and cheery, you got it a great bargain, and you have so many little things to accessorize it with.
ReplyDeleteThe snowman theme and dishes are just too cute. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love your snowman themed table!! I've always loved snowmen and they always put a smile on my face. Very cute scape!!
ReplyDeleteI love the fun you have with your bargains, Kathleen. You can't trade that for all the fine china in the world :)
ReplyDeleteCute as he is, I am getting a little tired of Frosty, though. I hope he gets out of town soon!
so many cute things! it easy to coax the snowman in with cookie tops desserts! you have so much fun stuff, you can always make adorable tables!
ReplyDeleteTwo great tablescapes in one post! Love those mitten bowls and the snowman plates (yes! I would certainly have purchased those at that bargain price). It all looks so welcoming. laurie
ReplyDeleteI have a little present for you at my blog :) Come and see.
ReplyDeleteKathleen...that snowman tablescape is just too cute! The flatware in the 2nd pic looks like it could be the snowman's ski poles...do you see it???
ReplyDeleteYour food always looks like it's from a magazine...mmmmmmm!
Have a happy week!
Kathleen :-)
I bet the grands LOVE this...those mittens are too cute for words;) French
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Vintage Schmintage!
ReplyDeleteYou just created it!
I LOVE the your table! What a deal you found! I would have bought them also. My kids would love them. I found some snowmen plates two years ago at Target for a good price. They aren't as cute as yours but the kids love to eat off of them and drink hot chocolate out of the big cups!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Angela
Oh what an adorable table! I love it! I'm with you, it is still winter and the plates are just the thing - what a bargain! So creative of you to set a Snowmen in your chair - very clever! Love it! I will visit you often!
