Inspiration for setting our weekly table for two is sometimes made easy. I am joining Tablescape Thursday with Susan at Between Naps on the Porch. Thanks for hosting Susan!
Other times, I may head to Hobby Lobby and see if anything inspires me and I build my tablescape around that item.

Or take a hike, go to the lake, or head to the garden for inspiration.
Inspiration for this tablescape came to me instantly when a package arrived from my friend @ Marsha's Garden. Snowmen! Five cute snowmen! How I adore their twig arms and plump bodies!
I love this.....
I heard a bird sing
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December
A magical thing
And sweet to remember.

Than we were in September,"

I love watching the cardinals at our bird feeder in winter. The bright red color looks stunning against the snow.
Next time I will plan better. I should have placed an order in advance for cardinal cookie cutters. But I found these cuties on a vendor's website (I can't recall which one).
Thank you for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful tablesetting. I love the "nearer to spring" poem and the cardinal bowls and sure wish I could attract the real things to my backyard like you do! Your Mackenzie Child pieces are so beautiful and versatile, they look wonderful with everything you pair them with. I like the plate under the bowl too.
