Welcome to the Blog today, Friends, I’m so glad you’re here. The news of Winter storms with crushing low temperatures is everywhere. I no longer live in an area of snow swept winters but I still enjoy the uncluttered landscape and quiet contemplation that Winter seems to foster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I’m sharing with you a tablescape inspired by those quiet moments and starker vistas that turn our thoughts inward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo keep a warm heart in winter is the real victory.\u201d \u2014Marty Rubin<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It all started with a furry throw in a neutral color that is restful and cozy at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Winter kept us warm, covering Earth in forgetful snow.
-T.S. Eliot<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I built the plate stack beginning with a cream wooden charger. The dinner plate is by Heath and it’s in a color that is hard to describe. It has elements of gray and of brown so it can go in two directions. A neutral napkin is placed between the dinner and salad\/dessert plate. Then we have another Heath plate in soft gray. It holds an individual charcuterie board with a small knife in the Fiddlehead pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWisdom comes with winters.\u201d \u2014Oscar Wilde<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Heath plates are quite nice and very smooth creating a soothing look to the place setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe snow did not even whisper its way to earth, but seemed to salt the night with silence.\u201d \u2014Dean Koontz<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two Mikasa patterns are used for the crystal. I picked both of these up recently at a Thrift Store for very little money. I used them here because the water glass, especially, is a very simple design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI pray this winter be gentle and kind\u2014a season of rest from the wheel of the mind.\u201d \u2014John Geddes<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Fiddlehead flatware is used for the table. I found this pattern at Pottery Barn years ago and still love to use it every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEven the strongest blizzards start with a single snowflake.\u201d \u2015Sara Raasch<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another recent find, the centerpiece can be used for a profusion of flowers or a simple display of Baby’s Breath as seen in the picture above. The Baby’s Breath suggests delicate snowflakes gently drifting from above. The distressed container fits in well with the rest of the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOnly in the winter, in the country, can you have longer quiet stretches when you can savor belonging to yourself<\/a>.\u201d \u2014Ruth Stout<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here you can see the plate stack with the soft tones of the centerpiece in the background. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGrace grows best in winter.\u201d \u2014Samuel Rutherford<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s an overhead of the table. You can see how all the quiet colors and textures work together to create a calm and tranquil setting for a lovely meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hope you all have a chance to enjoy the quiet presence of Winter while staying safe and warm. Thanks for stopping by and sharing this setting with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
