Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful, and since we've no place to go, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW! No one appreciates my snow more than my dear friend Karen, @ Some Days are Diamonds, so please visit her lovely blog, and check out her upcoming blog party! This table is dedicated to you my dear!
I've been wanting to do a Cardinal Christmas Table for a long time but first I needed the snow and the time to make the table runner and napkins.
So while Hubby was out doing this..... No School ! ( He's a Teacher)
I made my napkins and table runner and ....
Cardinal plates and mugs! Got to love them!
Snow, courtesy of Mother Nature!
I have always loved cardinals and their is nothing prettier than a red cardinal next to newly fallen snow!
Our total snow fall was about 15 inches! Have a great Thursday and thanks to our hostess Susan @ Between Naps on the Porch. Cindy

This is so beautiful! I love the cardinals too. I always think of my mother, she really loved red cardinals!

Cindy~~~
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty. Your home is so warm and welcoming. I love the centerpeice and you are so talented in my book for making the placemats and napkins, since I can't sew (yet!!!!). And I love those dishes. I have the same wine glasses! Aren't they perfect for winter?!
I see Dan is digging you out. Hopefully they are digging out our B & B for this weekend. I can't wait. We are going to have a blast! And maybe a snowball fight!! ;-)

I had to show my 16yo daughter your table. She loves cardinals and always chooses one for her new Christmas tree ornament each year. She (and I) loved your table. She said that she thought that the two of you would definitely make good friends. Kindred spirits!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Marcia
Wow! Look at you. Did you special order the snow for your tablescape? Looks like you did. Your table with all the pretty red looks wonderful with the snowy scene outside!
ReplyDeleteGIRLFRIEND!
ReplyDeleteI am sooooooooo on the next plane!!!
It's cold here - but that's about it. Supposed to get more rain tomorrow - we'll see.
You are sooooo sweet! I am so glad you are in my life! And I am ALL OVER JANUARY!!!!!
Oh - OK - we are supposed to talk about the tablescape.
LOVE IT! My Cardinals for Michigan! YAY!
GOlly - if I could wish myself into your kitchen - I'd be there. Everything looks FAB!!! GOSH! For moi?
I'm watching White Christmas - that's why I am so late signing up!
LOVE IT!
Thanks! You are the best!
GIGANTIC HUGS! Karen
I just love the table and the snowy backdrop is so beautiful. Has the big snowstorm finished now?
ReplyDeleteThe weather here in Brisbane has been hovering around 95 degrees...I wish I could visit you for a while to cool down!
Best wishes, Natasha.
Cindy,
ReplyDeleteYour tablescape is lovely and I am sure Karen will be pleased it is just for her!
The snow added a bright and clean accent to your Christmasey warmth inside. Loved it!
Parts of our suburb got 13 inches, so not quite as many as you!:) It is only 2 degrees here so I am sure our street is going to stay white for a while! I sure wish your hubby was herre to plow our walks and drive! ;D

Cindy,
ReplyDeleteI just rearranged my kitchen cabinets and have the same pitcher.....think I'll do something similarl! It was time to get out the snowmen plates for the winter months. It's always such a chore, but once it's done, I really, really enjoy. I love dishes - just don't have enough cabinets to store them all!
Happy holidays!!!
What a cozy little cardinal tablescape! It looks so pretty in front of your window with the snow outside! Red cardinals seem so Christmas-y and you've created a lovely theme for this time of year by using them!
ReplyDeleteDD
As always, wonderful table!Love the runner and the napkings..you're so talented!
ReplyDeleteAnnalisa
I hereby declare your table as the most pretty wonderwinterland cardinal table ever !!! I can keep looking to that table with the snow behind it all day... Karen will be delighted :)
ReplyDeleteOh, the weather outside is frightful...but your home is warm and inviting. How very lovely your colorful fine feathered are. I love watching the cardinals peeping and eating around the bird feeders. We just had flurries, weather in the teens and 45mph winds. I miss my pool!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful snowy day!!!
God Bless...........
I thought you might be doing a Cardinal table in honor of the Arizona Cardinals beating the Vikings!! HA! I'm sure that made Dan sooo happy that the Vikings lost... and the Packers WON.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe the blizzard you guys got back there! I talked to my family yesterday and they are staying put. And I heard on the national news that the UW- Madison canceled classes for the first time in over 2 decades! Wow. That must have been one bad snow storm!
Stay put Cindy... or drive carefully!
Hi Cindy !
ReplyDeleteLove the table - love your Longaberger picture for the centerpiece....I have that same piece !
Great to have snow for the backdrop - I have lots and lots here too !

Now how did you get Mother Nature to, right on time, compliment your tablescape? Beautiful snow day for a beautiful table.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and cozy!
ReplyDeleteCindy, you made your napkins and runner? Wow! Great job, girl! And I love the cardinals and the cute white jug in the center with the red and white lollipops and greenery. All so cute! This is such a happy table, and I would love to sit there and look at that world of snow that's so pretty outside your window.
ReplyDeleteXO,
Sheila :-)
This is so pretty! I love the candy in the centerpiece and the way your table is framed by the window, the little tree and the snow outside is simply beautiful. It looks so cozy. Let's eat!
