There are four different designs of the middle size Snowman plate which I'll do a separate post on later...hopefully a tablescape.
I wanted to do a tablescape for Tablescape Thursday since I've never done one. I set the dishes up tonight but you know what I don't have that Iwanna?
A lot of stuff. I don't have any tablecloths or linens. I don't have any flatware/silverware. I don't have any red, green or blue goblets. I don't have any pretty salt and pepper shakers. I don't have any small cute little sparkly knicky-knacks to display. So what Iwanna today is all of the above. Let me show you.
First, I found these salt and and pepper shakers which match the plates and they're a fun design like the plates.

But then I saw these and Iwanna them too. Aren't they adorable? They're Christmas lights!

If I had found a more elegant and traditional set of dishes at Goodwill then maybe I would have used some salt and pepper shakers more like these.

Iwanna these green ones, but I think it's just because green is my favorite color, although these are truly gorgeous!

So on to the flatware/silverware. I have a couple of sets, but just silverware, nothing fancy or cute and certainly nothing Christmassy. But Iwanna any one of the below!
This one is by Spode and it has the prettiest little Christmas Trees on the handles.

These next ones would match the playfulness of my new dishes, but still are elegant enough that I could use them with a traditional set of dishes for Christmas and even for Valentine's day right? Iwanna these for sure!

Since I don't see myself buying flatware in the near future and it's really hard to find a set at Goodwill at the drop of a hat, I really loved this idea because you can just use your everyday silverware but look at how it's displayed!
Iwanna get some ribbon and netting tomorrow and try to do this. I think it would look even pretty with silk instead of the netting, don't you? And you could use this idea for tons of different holidays, pink for Valentines Day. Bright Green for St. Patricks Day. Orange for Halloween or Thanksgiving. Cute idea huh?

I really didn't have a lot of luck finding a tablecloth Iwanna'd, but I know that I can always just find the fabric Iwanna and have my mom make it for me. But I did like this one.

And now for the glasses. I do have some of those Christmas Holly glasses that I think everyone in the world has and those will do for now, but Iwanna these glasses since I can Iwanna anything in the world on Iwanna Wednesday.
These for fun with my fun new Snowman plates.


Ok...and now the Christmas Knicky-Knacks. Since my dishes are playful I thought that these peppermint tealights would be pretty scattered around don't you think? Don't you Iwanna some of these yourself?

And something that I have always Iwanna'd is a moving Model Train set under the Christmas Tree, but hey...why not set it up in the middle of the table so it winds through the center and everyone can enjoy it while they eat?
I think that's why no one hires me to design tablescapes :-) I'm a little off the norm in that department. But don't you think this would be a great idea?

Both these trains are adorable. Last year I bought a really miniature set at the Dollar Store. Once the track is put together it measures about as round as a large cake plate. All my nieces and nephews really liked it...not to mention my 23 year old son :-)

I don't know if I will be able to pull this all together for Tablescape Thursday because I'm also still trying to finish up my cloches for the Cloche party on Friday, see the sidebar for details. That's why this blog is called Titere con Bonete because I truly don't' want to leave any puppet with a hat on because Iwanna be a part of and take a part in everything! Happy Wednesday ya'll!
Your blogs always give me great ideas! I'm checking out my local Goodwill this weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou really did strike it right at Goodwill to find the plates, Alicia! Good luck on your search for all the accessories. I bet your luck will continue as long as you are not too much of a hurry.
ReplyDeleteWhat a find with the plates. You are so lucky. I'll look for your tablescape.
