Frosty the Snowman Table for Eight

It has been so bitterly cold here lately so these cute snowmen

all cuddled up in their scarves, ear muffs and hats just

are perfect for this weather.

Our friends Annette and Wally invited our family over for dinner

and were featuring their incredible new winter plate set that they

had purchased this year from Kohls.

Who knew that Kohls had such darling dishes.  The

designers had created every imaginable piece

from plates to mugs to place card holders - just fantastic. 

Annette and Wally said they went back five times

to get all of the pieces they wanted.  Everything was so

cute, I could understand why.

(Now they are wondering where they are going to store them!)

From up above notice that they have two kinds of

placemats, the round vinyl ones and then the oblong

fabric ones.

I love how they placed the round vinyl ones around and on

the lazy susan so the center of the table is cute.  This

way you get to see the adorable snowman's face too.

They purchased a couple of different candle holders

and cute salt and pepper shakers.

Even little butter spreaders and a butter dish.

I have to admit these fun handled bowls were my

favorite.  I love the ear muff as the handle.

Here is one of those bowls sitting on the vinyl

place mat and the head looks like it belongs

right on the head of the snowman on the placemat.

These little fellows were adorable too.  They were

three little stacking bowls.

His darling face reminds me of one of my grandkids.

His little cheeks are almost kissable!

His knitted hat comes off so all three can hold goodies.

Here's a shot of the fabric placemat.

Even matching napkin rings.

I love the plates too.

One last item, cute kitchen towels.  Wow, we

were blown away and as a follower of my blog

she knew we would appreciate her lovely table.

I can't leave without showing you our delicious dinner.  We had

shredded beef and her special creamed corn ( I will have to

blog that killer recipe) to top baked potatoes.  When I asked

for the recipe for the salad dressing she told me that she had

used Girard's Champagne Vinaigrette - wow, now that is

one to try - loved it.

It is so wonderful to have friends who will open their houses

to you and share their homes and their love by creating a

lovely dinner.  We felt truly blessed.

Thanks.

Bring someone in from the cold and warm up their lives

by sharing dinner with them.  It's a great thing!

I will be sharing this table with
