Chickadees and a Tablescape in Black & White

I made another simple tablescape with a simplified look for the season. I used our cute little chickadees again....they're just so darn adorable. Did you see them last week when they were all over my 

Christmas tablescape? 

They're even in my corner hutch and in our Christmas tree again this year.  I'll be sharing that post, next week, and our Fireplace and mantel, too.

 This chubby chickadee pair are the parents... I made another new centerpiece for our everyday dining room table. I just switched up a few things from the way it was before.

The smell of evergeen is amazing, between the freshly cut cedar and the balsam and cedar votive, it's just so Christmasey and delightful!

Wooden cranberry beads, faux pomegranates, and a few snowy pinecones fill inside the cedar filled tobacco basket centerpiece.

 Little baby chickadees sit a top each one of the hyacyinth napkin rings. They're the perfect compliment to the black and white color scheme going on.


The wooden riser that we made is my favorite addition to our table....it's replaced our huge lazy susan for a while. 

This will be our everyday look until I get around to sharing another tablescape with you. I have a really gorgeous, winter white, formal one planned!

Til Next Time...enjoy your Holiday preparations, as simple as they may be this year. We're all disappointed that our celebrations just won't be the same, but we need to keep our spirits up and surround ourselves with things that make us smile.

Love, Hugs & Kisses,

JP

and Gucci, too!

Winter Centerpiece for the Holidays in a Bowl


 I needed to make a gift, for a friend, for the Holidays. While I was creating I had to play around with one of my, irresistible, clay snowmen. The ones that always "put a smile on my face!"

 The bowl, for the terrarium, came from Walmart (for under $3) to make this easy centerpiece candlescape.


Epsom salts for snow, sprigs of yew, gold tipped painted pinecones and a handful of cheery, red cranberries set the scene.

Battery operated votives, hidden partially under the snow, flicker softly in the centerpiece on our kitchen table.


 Back to what to leave inside for my little gift. I found this little Dicken's house that fits perfectly inside. It was an older, little, dollar store find.

Just one light, looked perfect....I think!

Wish I'd tried "three!"

A single deer also fits nicely into the scene.

We get to enjoy this one for a while longer...at least until it goes to it's new home.























Soon, "J" will go back up on top of our cupboard with Mr. P....as you can see this one is "J", that's me! ;)


Next, I have to make a new centerpiece
 to go with our Christmas tablescape for two :) and let this one go to it's new home.

 I'm hoping it's gonna be HEARTFELT and AMAZING...just for me and the LOVE of my life!


 Love, Hugs and Kisses,
