~Winter Mercury and Ice Tablescape

As afternoon clouds move in I'm glad to be home and back inside, man alive it is cold out there. I am NOT a cold weather person, I prefer being outside when the grass is green and the temperatures a whole lot warmer. Once things were unloaded and put away I got busy working on a post and blogger started acting all wackadoodle on me. Not only is it difficult for you to leave comments now it's difficult for me to upload pictures and put a post together. Scream, scream!! Guess this is the life of a blogger huh?

UP DATE:  A big thank you to Debbie@confessionsofaplateaddict for all your help this afternoon. Keeping fingers crossed we've gotten to the root of the problem with the pop up occurring. It was a program that has been on the lap top since 2010, it is now removed. Please if anyone see's the pop up when trying to leave a message or visit the blog please email and let me know.

Now let's move onto more things like playing with dishes, candles and flowers.

My passion

for collecting mercury glass is the perfect starting point for this table. The beautiful glitzy pieces rest on the crochet tablecloth my Aunt Mary started and Mother finished. I feel so lucky to be the caregiver of this timeless piece of art. Do any of you crochet? I do with yarn, not with thread, I'm not sure what the difference is, but my big ole fingers just don't work well with crochet thread.

I don't recall where I purchased the Waterford China, a beautiful white with a silver diamond shape motif mimics the diamond napkin ring holder. After all diamonds are a girl's best friend.

A icy effect from a glass shaped snowball tops off a silver serving piece. Another way to add a touch of dimension to your table.

I bought the knife rests from Horchow quite a while back, until now I really hadn't had a chance to use them in a tablescape. The duck rest lends a bit of whimsy to an over the top classy feeling table.

So romantic.

Flatware is by Oneida.

More sparkle.

Even though the "faux" candle is on a timer, surrounded by ice cubes it gives the mercury glass compote a bit more sparkle.

Thanks for stopping by today to view the Winter Mercury and Ice Tablescape.
