Three Snowmen Tablescapes for Winter — Whispers of the Heart

I am reposting three snowmen tablescapes that I did in 2021, 2022, and 2023 because I am still behind a bit from our Southern California Tablescapers BTS Gathering this weekend. It has been cold here, at least cold for us this time of year, so snowmen seem to be an appropriate theme for this week’s tablescape.

This is the first Snowmen tablescape that I did after I started tablescaping. This blue and white gingham cotton tablecloth came from Amazon. I have bought many tablecloths on Amazon, I often look there first. These snow people salad plates were illustrated by Susan Winget and the series was called Snow Friends. There were four different salad plate designs in the series. They have been discontinued but they sometimes appear on the secondary market.

I love these snowman napkins rings. They were called Sweet Shoppe Christmas and they were made by Sango and designed by Susan Lipkin. I found them online at Replacements, Ltd.

I used my red Waterford Marquis Brookside goblets for this table setting. The dark blue acrylic goblets came from Pier 1 on sale several years ago before our store closed. It’s difficult to see but they have a rope design around the top of the goblet. I often use them on summer ocean themed tablescapes.

I bought this snowman cookie jar at Target several years ago. He is sitting on a red Pottery Barn drink dispenser stand. During the Christmas season there are lots of snowmen cookie jars for sale and I must admit I now have about five of them that are different styles. I love all my cookie jars because they are the perfect size and make great centerpieces but they take up too much space in my storage areas!

This is the second tablescape that I put together, this one in 2022. Tablescaping in January can be a challenge. The holidays are over and Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day are off on the horizon. I wanted to post a snowman tablescape but finding snowman designs that don’t have any Christmas elements on them can be difficult. I finally found these snowman salad plates several years ago but I didn’t have a chance to use them on a tablescape until this tablescape. This sage green tablecloth came from Amazon several years ago. I love it and it washes and irons beautifully. I went back and bought a few other colors as well. It is called maxmill Jacquard Table Cloth Swirl Design.

These cute Snowman salad plates are made by Pfaltzgraff and the pattern is called Evergreen Ernie copyrighted by Diane Arthurs. They come in a set of four salad plates with four different designs. I love the blue, green, and brown colors, they are perfect for a winter tablescape and the birds are a cute addition.

The green acrylic goblet on the left came from our Pier 1 store before it closed several years ago. I think I bought the blue goblets on the right at Pier 1 several years ago too. When I started tablescaping I didn’t pay attention to the height of the goblets that I was buying and I soon learned that I like them to be taller like these two.

These tree candles all came from Crate and Barrel over the years. I can’t remember where I found the snow people candle holder, I have had it for many many years. It is labeled Center Street Design, Snow Couple.

This flatware set is labeled SR Showroom Italy. It was made by Zaffiro and I think I bought it on sale online at Horchow several years ago. The color is called Smoky and it looks like it has been discontinued. I really liked the simple design so I bought it in other colors as well. It is 18/10 stainless and a nice heavy set. The pieces are really longer in length than normal flatware. I have mentioned this before. If you are buying flatware and it isn’t 18/10 stainless always check the fork tines to make sure they have been filed enough and aren’t too sharp. Cheaper flatware often has this problem.

I created this Snowmen tablescape two years ago. I knew that I wanted to create a snowman themed tablescape after the Christmas season was over and I decided to use a buffalo check design. I found this black and white buffalo check tablecloth on Amazon. It is heavy cotton and it is really easy to iron with a steam iron.

I looked for a salad plate design that had a snowman with black and white buffalo check and couldn’t find anything. When that happens I often start looking for something to set on a solid colored salad plate and I always check Etsy. This is a circle of aluminum that has been painted. It was sold as a large ornament for a wreath but it was the perfect design for this tablescape. I set it on a square black glass salad plate. We found these black glass plates somewhere in Virginia while we were visiting our son and his family a few years ago. They were made by Luminarc France. They are salad or tidbit plates.

I turned to Etsy again to find a black and white buffalo check snowman design to use for a napkin ring. This design is custom printed on hardboard. I think I was lucky to find it! I just taped it temporarily to a simple white porcelain napkin ring that I had. These basic cotton black napkins came from Crate and Barrel.

This black flatware is Ginkgo International LePrix. I have had this set for several years and it came from Overstock.com. I have this set in a few different colors now.

I knew that I wanted black and white goblets for this tablescape. The goblet with the black bowl and clear stem on the left was made by Classic Touch and it is called V-Shaped Water Glass, Black With Clear Stem. I bought them at Houzz online several years ago. I have very very tall white goblets but I had been looking for shorter white ones for a long time. I finally found these white goblets at Walmart several years ago. They were made by Artland and the pattern is called Veranda.

I found this snowman cookie jar at Hobby Lobby a few years ago. I decided to set it on a small black cake stand that I had but it didn’t fit flat because of the rim on the stand so I turned the stand upside down and I actually love the way it looks.
