Every year about this time,
my friend and yours, KATHLEEN,
has a
WINTER WHITES meme
and she lets us pretty much run amuck....(amuck-to test your limits).
She says
white dishes
a little silver..gold..greens can be used.
If you want,
you can serve WHITE foods...
How fun is that !
Be sure to go over and see her beautiful WHITES
as well as a lot more..
and THANKS for coming by my place.

I started out with this
plain table and transformed it into a
WINTER WONDERLAND
dining area.
I used ALL WHITE...
SILVER in the chargers and flatware, which is by Oneida and very olden.
This table is set in the library end of my living room.
The strange green plant was in the clearance basket at the market..
$1.99
I love the dark green leaves, altho it looks a little like a big green spider with many MANY legs...
*
I just filled in with white and silver Christmas balls
and a sprinkling of pearls...
These are my mom's pearls...
I couldn't tell you if they are real or not but it makes NO difference.
I couldn't love them a bit more if they WERE the real thing...
which I do have my doubts.
I can't imagine where she would have aquired a
STRING OF PEARLS...
but, aren't they pretty !
I used some of the beautiful linens...
some vintage..
some WALMART...:))
WELCOME
to my WINTER WONDERLAND...
my WHITE and SILVER
Table for Two
**
VANILLA ICE CREAM (it's white)
HOT FUDGE SAUCE
WHIPPED CREAM
PAULA DEEN PECAN ICE CREAM TOPPING
BIG...RED...CHERRIES

ReplyDeleteBut that point, about you "can use all white food," reminds me of a book... Probably the only Ann Rice book on vampires, I read. And some ate only white food. -Bleahhhh-

What a very pretty white table. Love that silver star on the plate.
ReplyDeleteJust lovely, BJ! I love the beautiful linens, and the silver star-shaped basket is a wonderful addition. You and I were on the same wavelength for a centerpiece this week!

B.J., that is a beautiful table. I would love to sit down with you for an all white meal! I'm with you on the pearls as I have my mother's and no idea if they are real or not. To me, they are worth a fortune!

Beautiful -- and I love that you used your mother's pearls.
ReplyDeleteI love the girly-pearly touches and those gorgeous linens! What a lovely setting for your table near the library area and the tea light in the glass shining through that wintery scene is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly know how to set the most exquisite tables and the food isn't bad either...yum!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful everything! Love all the glitter and brightness!...Christine
ReplyDeleteA beautiful tablesetting. I love all the doilies, linens and pearls - such a romantic setting. It definitely is a winter white wonderland.
ReplyDeleteLove the sundae - haven't had one of them for a long time.
Everything is so beautiful! You did a great job bringing out the white. I think the name of the plant is called Firecracker. A friend had given me a small cutting once and it grew so well. I am not sure why I got rid of it but now I am sorry I did.
ReplyDeleteAlways a joy stopping by to visit with you!
Just so elegant but so pretty and fresh at the same time! Truly a Winter Wonderland!!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Sue
Hi bj, thanks for the heads up on my link. I linked again. We were gone this entire day and this is the first time today I have been able to check my computer. That explains so few visits. HA! Now, how did I do that?
ReplyDeleteYour winter white is so beautiful. the pearls are a great addition to the lovely table setting. You have the best ideas and photos. I call this blog art! I mean it.
Love and warm hugs, Jeanne
Beautiful transformation! Love the white with silver! My new one is white with gold!

Hello BJ,
ReplyDeletethis looks really like a winter wonderland. The lace and pearls suggest snow and ice for me. The linnens are all gorgeous. Very elegant table.
Wish you a nice and merry Christmas.
Greetings, Johanna
BJ, I just love your table. It is so elegant. White is the essence of purity and elegance and drama. Your stemware is gorgeous too. Great table!
ReplyDeleteChristmas blessings, Beth
I feel quite sure that the pearl of real value was your mama. The necklace is a wonderful memory of that priceless jewel in your life. Your tablescape is lovely...just the right blend of white and bling...and I love thought of a table for two by the fireplace. Thank you for sharing your charming design. Cherry Kay
