Snowmen

As you know, I love snowmen.   I got this little framed box at a silent auction recently and it came on Friday.   I loved it and thought it would make a cute room box ... someday.   It sat on the dining room table for the weekend and yesterday I decided to put it in my workspace and then I would find a spot for it until I could work on it.   Just sitting there, I thought I would try a few things.   Wham-bam - it was nearly done.   I still need another piece or two for the walls, but so far, so good.   It is not on my unfinished project list - didn't even make it there.   Enjoy. 

Does anyone like Snowmen????

I love snowmen and always have.   Being in Key West, you don't get any chance to build a real one, so my collection is the next best thing.    I do hope you enjoy them. 

Snowmen and more snowmen

I love snowmen. Although I live in Key West and we've never even had a frost, let alone a snow, they are still a favored collectible. They just make me smile!!!

Tablescape Thursday - Breakfast for Two

I have only one table, and it is a small one - only 36 inches. It seats 4 cozily and 2 comfortably. Not generally a problem, but limits the amount of dishes you can have on it. I decided to show off some of my snowmen. Love them, love them, love them. Since Key West hasn't even experience a frost, let alone a snow - it's a strange collection for here, but I do love them. I have been every inspired by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch (http://www.betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/) and decided to do some table scape.

The dinner plate is Corelle and available at most Walmarts. The snowmen dishes were obtained from Byrons in Key West in their going out of business sale. The salt and pepper shaker were from a thrift shop. The crystal glasses from a yard sale; the mugs a gift. Flatware from Ross and made by Cambridge Silversmith Ltd. Very reasonable for a 20 piece box of flatware.

For those of you that know that I am a miniaturist - behind the tale are shelves holding about 17 room boxes, vignettes.
