Winter Wonderland

Living in Florida with our gorgeous weather, there aren't many evenings that are suitable for a romantic dinner in front of the fireplace. When one presented itself recently right around Ground Hog Day, we took advantage of it. 

All we need is a little snow!

 Love the paper dollies under the clear glass plates.

 Many years ago when our children were young, we would tease them that this was our "Arbé Crystal" and we would get it out for every Christmas dinner. 

I think that they were a little surprised when we finally told them that their priceless "Arbé" was actually a give away from Arby's Fast Foods.  

I still love the winter wonderland scene that circles the glass and it always has a place at one holiday dinner!

Love to add a little green to the table. With a little ivy and ferns from the garden, can spring be far behind? 

 Since Punxsutaney Phil saw his shadow this year, we are supposed to have another six weeks of winter.  It has been a very mild winter here in the panhandle but I hope to have a couple more romantic meals in front of the fireplace, even if we have to run the A/C to do it!!  

Sante!!
