Vintage French Snowman Tablescape: Friday's Find #226


Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! I don't know about you, but this time of year is so busy, my visits to the thrift stores have been limited. Since I only have a couple of items to share, I thought it would be fun to show you how I styled my first find. These adorable vintage snowman plates from France inspired a whimsical holiday tablescape....

When I found these clear glass snowman plates made in France, I knew I wanted to pair them with my vintage jadeite dishes. As I'd hoped the snowman design really pops against the green glass plates. I used thrifted napkins from my collection of vintage linens, too.

I created a cake stand centerpiece with another favorite snowman--he was a Christmas past clearance find. Since my plates are French snowmen, so are my Scrabble tiles! {See my mini gingerbread house village on a cake stand, here!}

Here's a top view of the table-- which means I stood on a stool to try capture the full table in my cozy cottage kitchen and yes, I did paint my oven green!

Now for my last find of the week. I love small stools like this for their versatility alone. On Wednesday, I'll be sharing how I used this one in my Christmas decor...

  1. Adorable! I really love the cake stand centerpiece - what a clever idea! AND that you painted your stove - brilliant! I painted my stove HOOD when I made over my kitchen but only white to match the stove. I'm not as brave as you or I would have painted my stove red!

  11. Now you've y ou me wondering; do I have enough cake plates in tapering sizes to make a Christmas tree? Hmmmm! Sometimes life with cats is not conducive to stacking stuff higher and deeper. I love the way you style things and Jadeite is beginning to grow on me; never been much of a green fan, but I love how you use it to complement other colors.
