I picked up some really big pine cones last fall to specifically use with this dinnerware. Southern Illinois is full of huge stands of pine trees. I filled a couple hurricanes with them and flanked a tall centerpiece of curly willow branches that I used years ago in a garden show entry! Yes, I keep everything!
The special pieces on the table include the leaf bowls, napkin rings that include tiny pinecones with the polka dot napkins. I love all polka dots! The real pinecones stand out ... and the Cambridge flatware in the pinecone pattern adds a special touch to perfect this tablescape theme!
Our dinner with Miss Phoebe and her daddy was warm, cozy and filling and tasty! It was 9 degrees outside, with a little snow on the ground, but comfortable inside!
I'm posting with Tablescape Thursday and Alphabet Thursday, so make sure you click through to the parties.
What a pretty table you have set. It is so warm and inviting for the winter. I am especially admiring your pincone flatware. Joni

I love your pine cone design dishes. They are so pretty and multi seasonal. I also like to collect pine cones to display in bowls and baskets as decorations in autumn and winter. It is nice meeting you through Alphabe Thursday!

Debbie, those pine cone dishes are just wonderful! I know you enjoy using them during the winter months. I love all the rustic touches you've added to your table to carry out the theme. I also adore polka dots!
ReplyDeleteI was craning to see if I could spot a roaring fire anyplace close to your wonderful rustic tablescape. The green Dression glass bowls have my mouth watering. Thank you for sharing your neat design and for stopping by my post. Cherry Kay
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun table, and I love how you used the pinecones to echo those in the china. I like all of the rustic touches you used, and I know your family enjoyed this tablescape.
ReplyDeleteWarm hugs,
Sheila :-)
