Winter Green


Green is my favorite colorThe other day I found these green glasses and I decided to get them.  I 've put together a winter table using my new green glasses and I want to share it with you today.  Do you ever have a day that you need your hands to be busy and your mind free?  Well, that's what I needed yesterday when I started working on my new ideas for our table. 

I had my table decorated with the little snowmen that I've made. 
I thought that each place looked sweet with its own little frosty creations.





I wasn't ready to get rid of my winter thoughts,
so I decided to keep a few things that would remind me of winter days.

So, here is what I have designed....
I started with some pine greenery with little pine cones.  I added a couple of
different-looking larger pine cones that I found earlier this fall.





I decided to use these snowflake napkin rings.
I thought they would look nice with the green napkins.


I added one of my silver-colored mercury glass
 trees from my dining room table.

I think you can see the arrangement better from this angle. 
I got the container for Christmas and I was excited to use it on my table.



Now you can see the green glasses.





I made the place mats using some burlap I had left over from another project.
I used another place mat for my pattern.
I cut the burlap and then pulled a few threads to make the fringe.
If there were any edges that didn't look even, I trimmed them with my pinking shears.
I did this outside so I wouldn't make a mess in the house.
I ironed the place mats and that really made them look great!
Since I already had the burlap, is was very inexpensive to make the place mats. 
I have enough to make a small runner, too!


I love using these colors for a winter table. 
 I haven't used these colors before in January and I really like the change. 
 I can't wait for a warm and cozy meal at this table.
