New Year's Day Dinner

Or, more appropriately, what we do when it's -30 below (again). We've been having some terrible weather on the border this winter, and have been trapped in the deepfreeze for nearly a month.  The latest string of -30 days has started to take its toll on sanity for those of us living in the northwoods.

Since it's white outdoors with ice and snow, we decided to bring the color, but not the temps, inside for a New Year's tablescape.

We thought the collection of glass evergreen trees worked and made everything look cool.

Icy twig wreaths and silver tablecloth and runner

Vintage wine goblets

Napkins in icy gray tones coordinate with the silver and white tablecloth.

Icy branches at each place setting make it look wintry.

A little village at the end of the table, as these are just too tall for the center.

Alternating with the icy twigs at the place setting are these copper, gold, and silver leaves.

Cute little Christmas ornaments do double duty as place card holders.

The centerpiece with balsam boughs from the yard and a variety of ornamental berries.

These bowls from Pier One reminded us of snowdrifts.

We had to use the blingy placemats again, this time with silver chargers.

Aren't these over-the-top?

Little snow houses with an iceball votive.  Come in and warm up!!
