It is that time of week for Tablescape Thursday when we get show off our latest table at Between Naps On The Porch. Thank you, Susan for hosting my favorite weekly meme. To see other fabulous tablescapes, go to Susan's website...I promise, you will not be disappointed.
To enlarge any photo, just click on it.
The inspiration for this week's table came from the aqua snowman I spotted at Savers last week...I can't resist anything, either green or aqua. If they were the only two colors, I would be very happy. That was the only item I bought for this table, everything else I already had. This cute little snowman was only $2.99 and he had just been put out seconds before I grabbed him up. I saw him in the stocker's cart so I waited until she barely had him on the shelf before he was in my hands. There were several shoppers that commented, they wished they had seen him first! The snowman was hard to photo to get the true color, because it is a metallic-like paint.
Each table setting is very simple, a silver charger plate, dinner plate, a salad plate, a water glass and a wine glass.
Several of you have these same plates so I won't bore you with the individual shots of each plate. I have them in several colors, I really like the edges on these plates. The sterling flatware is Oneida Afterglow 1956.
The glassware is also aqua...water glass is Indiana Glass Recollection, which is a 1982 reproduction of the depression glass pattern Madrid. (I also have these in pink.) The wine glass is Noritake Sweet Swirl (1988-1994).
The aqua pine cones, clip on birds and orbs are just Christmas ornaments. I put a piece of white posterboard behind the snowman and used the flash so you could get a better view of him.

Cute little snowman!

What a fun tablescape. I love aqua. I see you have another fun thing with your thrift shopping. Love from Vermont. Brenda
How cute is that snowman! At first I thought you spray painted the pine cones. Looks very pretty, Marigene,
I love aqua!
How fun to see a non-traditional Christmas table! I can see why that aqua snowman landed in your cart -- he's adorable! I'm impressed that you had everything else you needed to set a pretty table around him. Great job!
I don't have dishes like that or ANYTHING like that for that matter, and I really love it. Those colors are stunning.
This is a completely unique and beautiful table, and I think you got the perfect centerpiece!
Wow, really pretty, the colors are great! I'm lovin' your glasses! I don't know about snowmen, but I've been turning blue the last few days in Philly:@)

What a beautiful color scheme! Love that cute snowman, what a deal! Very pretty tablescape, nice job!
Katherine
That snowman is unbelievably wonderful. He's perfect and your accents are perfect.. Lovely Lovely Lovely!!!
I forgot to mention in my comment in regards to your question about our staircase; yes, it is original to the house, although it was not white originally, of course. It was painted by one of the many previous owners of our house!
I love the color!!!! NOt only do snowmen turn aqua, aparently so do birds, ornaments and just about everything else!
So pretty!
Yvonne

Such a unique table you've set. The color you chose is perfect with the backdrop of your draperies.. the snowman is the "perfect" touch.. hugs ~lynne~
Well, you've used one of my two favorite color shades in such a beautiful tablescape. I'm always drawn to teal/turquoise, so this one made me smile. I love your textured, embossed dinnerware. It's stunning. Thank you for sharing your charming design and for stopping by my post. Come visit any time. Cherry Kay
I love the snowman! BTW we can't be considered dish hoarders if we actually use them or take them out every now and then....that's my theory anyway!
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
I love the colors, Mimi, especially the glasses. Do snowmen ever get cold? LOL! Fun tablescape and post. I posted snowmen too for my tablescape....Christine
Oh Mimi, how pretty this aqua tablescape looks. I would never have thought of using this color for Christmas, but it totally works. Love the snowman and the little clip-on birds. Your post title is so clever too. laurie
Hi lovely lady.
Your Teblescapes are beautiful with the Aqua colors with your lovely centerpiece! I'm your newest follower on your blog. I Hope you can become one of my Followers sweet lady. I hope you have a Great Day.
I was just at ZGallerie last night and they had done a table up for the holidays in this fabulous peacock color too. I was stunned by it. It is such a fabulous color. I love the darling snowman, he fits right in.
Your snowman centerpiece is sooo darling and unique!! The aqua colors in are also very pretty too!!
Sherri:)
Wow, I just love the plates!! I love these colors and so nice for Christmas and not expected! Thanks for stopping by!! Love the china in your new header too--I had not seen that!!
Hello Mimi,
thank you for stopping by and leaving the nice comment. Mimi, I agree with your love in aqua and green. Those are wonderful colors for summer as well as for winter. It looks a bit frosty with your cute snow man but you made all so inviting and festive. Love the little clip on birds and the pine cones are adorable. Very nice table, thank you for showing.
Greetings, Johanna
