Since I’ve been busy with a big DIY project this week, I haven’t had time for playing in the dishes. Darn! I guess my Russian Winter tablescape will have to wait a little longer. Instead, I’m going to do a rare reprisal here at My Place to Yours.
This Winter Memory tablescape was first posted here in January 2011 and is one of my ten most popular with you readers. For the second time … or the first …
Enjoy!
Many of us have snow at our houses this week — some of you for the first time in a very long time! Are you enjoying it from inside … where it’s warm … like I am?
Hopefully this poem and tablescape will help you keep the memory of its beauty alive for a little longer.
A Winter Memory

What a gorgeous table, Susan. Took my breath away. The amount of time and effort, wow. Just beautiful. xo
Please, tell me that you haven’t pared down far enough to get rid of those gorgeous applied silver plates….so gorgeous! I’m glad that you reprised this one. It tells a lovely story. Thanks for inviting us for a peak. Cherry Kay
I remember this post from the first time.. I loved it then and love it now. The trees, the silver, the snow.. a perfect wintry table.. xo marlis
I’m thrilled you shared this one again. It is gorgeous from beginning to end, and the poetry is as well. The light reflecting off the snow and crystal is magical. Thank you for sharing this pretty winter scape.
Beautiful features and I love the bit of poetry mixed in. What a lovely post- xo Diana
Beautiful table, Susan. I love all the sparkly crystal and glass along with the gleaming flatware. So beautiful.
I can see why this a popular post of yours! Gorgeous! Love the faux snow treatment as your centerpiece foundation – really “makes” the table. The crystal/ice trees are fabulous and look wonderful alongside the hurricane shades/pillar candles. So glad you shared this t’scape again!

Really gorgeous, Susan! I love the sparkle and shine, but the fluffy snow adds a wonderful touch!
Lost my comment? Hmmm.
I think this table is just plain gorgeous and so worthy of a repost. I had thought about doing the same with a wintery table, but I didn’t. If I saw this one before (and I’m nearly positive that I did) I love it anew.
Told ya! 😉
Absolutely lovely, Susan!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! Thanks for reposting, Susan.
STUNNING Susan!!!!!!!! Now, this is what I call a winter wonderland tablescape at it’s best! I’m so glad you reposted, so I can see this amazing table, with those incredible, layers of dishes.
