Snowflake Tablescape

Our daughter Katie turned 25 last week and on the morning of a little dinner party planned for her it snowed here! A theme is born…the snowflake table.

Her snowflake taco party was a success!

The cake was a spice cake with snow on top. Yes of course that’s snow in the form of powdered sugar! The only problem with snow on top of a birthday cake is when you go to blow out the candles you also get a snow flurry!

I’m linking to the lovely Susan at Between Naps on the Porch please click on over to see some very nice tables set for our enjoyment!

Plates: Nikko – Vintage Lace Platinum from Marshalls  ~ Snowflake tablecloth, centerpiece, napkins and napkin rings are from Martha Stewart K-Mart collection  ~ Candle holders are from a garage sale ~ Goblets, cut glass dessert plates, cake plate and scarf I used as a runner are from thrift stores ~

 

Snowflakes ~ Mosaic Monday

It’s always a surprise event when we see snow falling down instead of rain in the Seattle area.

We had some flakes falling from the sky today. They are threatening us with more for tomorrow. Time will tell. For the record ellen b. does not enjoy driving on snowy and icy roads, so if the threat of snow becomes reality, I’ll be in my house trying to stay cozy and warm on Monday. Some of you are really having snow events as usual for us it’s a novelty.

Visit Mary at Little Red House to join in on Mosaic Monday.

 

Blue Monday ~ Snowflakes!!

This is the first time I’ve seen actual detailed snowflakes in person like these. These are very tiny ones (about the size of peas and sesame seeds) that fell on Dear’s old blue truck in the driveway at our home in Washington state. He spotted them and called me out to take a look. I’ve seen snow falling and snow piled up but not this kind of detail in a flake. I hope you can see it. I had to use super macro and zoom a bit to make it come out this clear. So glad the truck is blue so I could use these for Blue Monday. We are back at the condo in Southern California now and just heard the snow is falling again at our home in Washington! Here’s some more blue from Washington. I took this right after the snowflakes…
