The majority of blog land seems to be deep into
Valentines Day decorating already.
I'm behind, because here we still have snow
and I am just now starting to pack the snowmen decorations away.
With my recent $3 TJ Maxx find as a centerpiece
this will be my last Winter table before I follow the rest of you on to the next Holiday.
The place setting is a silver charger, gray dinner plate I found
for $1 at The Christmas Tree Shop
and the cream salad plates came from TJ Maxx.
My inspiration piece, the snow owl sits on top of a silver snowflake cake pedestal.
I also added covered bowls with handles to each setting...
Here is a close up of the bowls...
I added a few of my Godinger birds to the table as well.
Mercury glass candle holders and crystal glasses add to the wintery feel...
Oh, I almost forgot...
Yes - I know those silver ducks are knife rests.
They were a Christmas present from my oldest son.
But instead of putting them under the tip of the knife
I thought they looked like they were swimming
when I placed them on the salad plates.

Stunning! So elegant and lovely.
Oh, nice table. Really lovely. I love the duck knife rest!
Gorgeous! I love those ducks....I know I told you that before, but they are precious...Your table is lovely...everything goes so well together!
Beautiful photo's and I love the Owl!!~
Tam, your owl centerpiece is gorgeous and what a deal! I love how you incorporated other birds into the tablescape too. Looks great on that purple coloured tablecloth too. The duck knife rests do look like they are swimming on the plates! Wonderful gift!

Your table is so inviting...love the ducks!
Wonderful table, Tam! Your owl is so magestic and serene! I love all the feather and foul touches. Your son deserves a big hug for those beautiful knife rests. I have had my eye on these lovely pieces myself.
The tablecloth is wonderul with all the white. So pretty!

Hi Tam!
Very pretty table! Love all your accessories. We still have plenty of snow here in Michigan as well and I expect we still have a lot more to come.
Oh how pretty this all is. What a wonderful gift from your son -- they would take "center plate" on my table as well! This is a fantastic tablescape.
Just lovely. An icy cold winter scape. Perfect.

I started out to say that I love the owl, but then I stopped my self. I really love it all. So breath-taking, but without over the top.

Stunning! Love the owl...the little knife rests are adorable.
BEAUTIFUL table, Tam! But then I love every one you do! LOVE the owl centerpiece and what a DEAL! I adore the duck knife rests, what a great gift! XO, Pinky
Are you serious? You have a son who bought you knife rests for a gift. Where did you get this mythical creature? Wow. I am so impressed. Nice ones too.
It will be nice to say goodbye to winter.
This is one of the things I love about blogging, I would never have looked at the white owl and thought 'centerpiece'. It is beautiful and you have really showcased it with the soft silver and gray. Wonderful!
What a majestic setting so appropriate for a snowy owl. The little duck knife rests are dear. I like they way you spotlighted them in the center of the plates.
I love the snowy owl, what a great theme to do on a cold wintry day, Great job. Kathysue
Tam-I love all your birds,especially the owl. I don't believe I have ever seen gray plates, but I like it and it certainly has a lot of possibilities. "They" say gray is the new black :) I saw that mercury glass acorn I love too. Beautiful!
Oooh! Those knife rests are so cute, so unique. I just love your tablescape, Tam. I love everything about it...Christine
Love the snowy yet warm look you achieved, the owl and ducks are superb...
Beautiful table. I don't have any knife rests. I must get some.
Just a beautiful table! The owl and the birds are exquisite. Thank you for sharing!

Lovely table. The silver and crystal just sparkle! Have a great day!
Very beautiful table. Love the color of the tablecloth. Oh, and the candles are really neat. I have never heard of knife rests.
Very pretty tablescape. Love your centerpiece and the little ducks swimming on the plates.
Your table is really lovely and I love the snowy owl centerpiece and duck knife rests! So elegant!

Hi Tam...
My friend, your wintery table is fabulous!!! I am still in the mind-set of winter as well...but we have at least another couple of months of it here in Colorado.
I just love the pairing of the beautiful dusty plum with the silver and white, Tam! It's so soft and it does look very wintery! Hehe! Love your snow owl! What a great deal and he makes such a beautiful winter's table centerpiece! Love your place settings, the gray plates...gorgeous!..and I love the pretty square plates as well! Your sweet white birds are like icing on the cake, my friend! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful winter's Snow Owl table with us today...I sooo enjoyed it!
Warmest winter wishes,
