Tuesday Tablescape

Happy New Year to all of you! I hope that your Christmas was joyous and that 2022 will be a blessed year. The holiday season just flew by if you ask me! 🦉

Today's tablescape is actually my mother's. She has owl-ways had a fondness for these feathered friends and has collected a few cute statues of them over the years. Highlighting her owl luncheon plates to create a winter tablescape now that Christmas decor is all packed away, she has some of her collection roosting in the dining room. 



(By the way, the gate in the doorway leading into the kitchen is to keep her little four-legged cutie out of the dining room. In theory, it's a wise idea. In reality, the dog knows how to open the gate on her own! What a hoot ! 😉)









Whimsical and realistic, there are owls carved from wood and stone while some are made from glass, ceramics and natural materials. 


Let's get back to the tablescape since it is the focus of today's post!

Several years ago we gave her these plates depicting snow owls.  In addition to the subject matter, I knew she'd be happy with them since she and I both enjoy special dishes. Birds of a feather flock together!


As part of that gift, I also put together the greenery portion of the centerpiece (she later got the white owl at Hobby Lobby). Simply constructed from a wreath, I just added the burlap flowers, raffia bows, pinecones and berries. 



Since the table is all set, whoooo is ready to eat?!
