Tablescape Thursday/ Or Winter is for the Birds!

Welcome to my 3rd Tablescape Thursday sponsored by Susan our hostess with the mostest! Please visit her blog http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/ to view some talented tablescapers! In keeping with my winter theme, I decided to set my table with winter whites and birds! My centerpiece is a little pottery vase filled with cranberries. I also used my plaid table runner, my fat little cardinal and of course my salt and pepper birds!

A view out the window. Still snow, and it's still cold! I have my duck soup tureen that I got at a garage sale for $2, because when it's this cold you have to have soup! I also used my glass ware I got from Mexico years ago.

The china was in a box at a garage sale this summer. I think I paid $5 for a whole bunch of settings, the red napkins were from the Wal-mart clearance bin.

Besides soup we would also have pop-overs. Pop-overs are popular in Minnesota and Wisconsin. I have included the recipe I use at the bottom of this post.

Here's a pic of my cardinal place mats! I still love them and I've had them for years!

And of course my cute little birdie salt and pepper shakers that I picked up recently for $2.99.

I got a great deal on the flatware! They were originally $80.00 for the 45 piece set. I picked them up at Penney's for $19.95 they are called the Cambridge Series and I like their simplicity.

Below is a pic of a pop-over. I just took this pic off the Internet and usually they look a little lighter and puffier than this.

Here's a typical pop-over pan. I bought my year's ago and it works like a charm.

I use the pop-over recipe that came with my pan. See below. If your having guest's you want to make sure that your pop-overs are the last thing you pop in your oven before serving dinner.

That's it for my Winter is for the birds tablescape. Hopefully Spring will be here soon, before this blogger goes a little batty herself. Thanks for stopping and I love hearing from you all. Cindy
