Dinner On Ice!

I would love to be doing a spring tablescape, but it's hard to get away from winter. As I write this, I don't know if the groundhog saw his shadow, but living in Colorado, we always see six more weeks of winter. At the least!

So, I decided to create an ice-scape this week.













You may recognize the tree I used here.
I removed the leaves, and hung glass icicles.







All of the dishes came from Goodwill!





 















My tablescape started to change as the sun was going down.
































At the risk of melting my whole tablescape, I lit the candles.















Ice can certainly take many forms. A few years ago,
I took this photo of our dining room window.

I think Mother Nature is quite the artist!



I hope you enjoyed my tablescape!

I will be joining Tablescape Thursday

True Confessions!

I have a confession to make. I am not a fan of Valentine's Day. On top of that, I am not a fan of red. But, for some reason, I keep creating red tablescapes! Anyway, I told myself that if I could come up with a Valentines' Day tablescape without spending more than $10, I would do it. (I am always giving myself rules!)

Here is the result.


Table for two? Right this way...

























Wait...what is this?




Oh Sweetheart, you shouldn't have!










I wonder what's in his heart. Love, of course.











OK, I have one more confession. I spent $12. The tablecloth came from Ross ($9), and I bought the two ceramic hearts and a package of paper hearts from Dollar Tree ($3). I already had everything else, including the beautiful ring my husband gave me five years ago. I hope you enjoyed my Valentine's Day tablescape! Now, NO MORE RED!

At least until the 4th of July!
