Recently, my dear friend Susan, of Hometown Girl, featured a Winter Party table setting on her blog...well, to put it simply, I fell in love with this gorgeous table setting and asked Susan if I could feature her beautiful work on my blog as well...graciously she agreed!
Take a look...
Don't you just adore this antique table?? Especially against the white snow?!!!
I love all of the elements that Susan used...
milk glass dishes
vintage silverware
old sheet music
a touch of fresh greenery
...and *sigh* I had to have her make me one of those dreamy burlap table runners...thank you Susan!!!
Did you notice the party favors at each place setting? Susan bought white fleece scarves and then made those lovely pins to go with them...she even used one of my favorite things in making them...mother of pearl buttons (really, there is no end to what you can do with those vintage white buttons)! It's all perfection in my book!
You can find more of Susan's beautiful work in her etsy shop Paperhill...just maybe she'll make you a creamy burlap table runner too :)
And for a little SHOP news...the next issue of Jeanne d' Arc Living magazine is up on my website for pre-order right now. It is due out by February 26th. I'll leave you with a little peek at it...to get you through the rest of the week! :)
Enjoy your weekend my friends!!! And thank you so very much for all of the incredibly kind and encouraging comments you left for me about my Switcheroo...you girls are the absolute best motivation to get things done around my house!!! You help my creative spirit to soar...thank you for making me feel so good!!!

Hi Tracey,
There is nothing about that table that I don't love. The color combo, sheet music...everything is just so sweet. Thanks so much for sharing:)
That aqua color is amazing against all the white. Love the little touches. Such a pretty setting. Little chilly but who would care at that table. Now I have to go change my shirt from all the drooling over the new items.
What an absolutely gorgeous table setting! I would be willing to sit there even if it meant being a little nippy! I love the turquoise chairs against the white snowy backdrop! Really stunning!
Kat :)
absolutely beautiful post...as always!
oh, sigh...i think i will be heading over to your store for a little preorder...
I think I changed my mind about this color .. awesome presentation.

Love it all...the colors are so dreamy! I can't think of a better way to "celebrate" winter:) So, so pretty!
What a beautiful post. The pictures of the tablescape are just beautiful! The blue against the snow is stunning. I wonder how cold it was when she was setting this up? LOL!

What a lovely post to brighten up a snowy Minnesota morning! The winter party makes me look at the snow in a whole new way and the magazine photos were gorgeous- very creatively inspiring! Thanks, Tracey!
Hi Tracey,

i love that fun blue against all the creamy white goodness
& with hydrangeas too
gorgeous
totally magazine worthy
totally magazine cover worthy!
All I can say is WOW...
I ador winter settings and that one is just striking!
Tracey, thank you for sharing this gorgeous winter table setting. I'm in TX so there isn't often snow, but this blue table and chairs in the snow makes a stunning statement. The sheet music placemats, the milk glass dishes, airy burlap runner, . . . this table setting tingles all my senses. Absolutely love it!
The table setting is adorable, love the vintage music sheets as placemats!
Krásný blog... Jemné, něžné...
Pěkné dny!
Oh Sigh... just lovely.
Tracey,
What a stunning post. This is my first visit to your blog and I'm so happy I found you.
Thank you for sharing this gorgeous tablesetting. It's wonderful.

I loved that table setting and the color of the table wow. Everything looked so crisp and clean. Thanks for sharing. Florence
Perfect pick-me-up for a gloomy day here in Texas!
BTW, that last photo just reinforces everything said about your switcheroo...your home should be published!
Debbie
I can't get enough of Susan's table setting - in the middle of the crisp white snow! sooo dreamy!!!
AND - yesterday, you may have seen on fb that I was at Ikea. .....because of YOU! I bought 2 of those metal drawers (mine are white) for my craft room transition!
YOU are now officially a part of the room!! ;)
xoxo
I love your blog! Barbara
Dear Tracey,
The table in the snow is wonderful. The distressed turquoise paint stands out so well against the white of the snow. .... and all of the little touches are beautiful. I am definitely going to have alook at her shop. Those photographs could be used in any interior magazine.
.... and I can't believe that the next issue of Jeanne d'Arc magazine is out very soon. I've only just got the last one !!
Many thanks for your birthday wishes. They made my birthday extra special. XXXX
Such a beautiful table and setting! I love the idea of using sheet music for mats....it's all so lovely. Susan has amazing talent!
Wonderful photo from the magazine too.
That is all so beautiful.Love the color of the table against the snow and the beautiful bouquet too.
Carolyn

Beautiful! Love everything about the outdoor setting. I'd even sit there in the cold just to be there! Tracey, just wondering if you sell back issues of Jeanne de'Arc Living magazines? I'm looking for the 2009 6th Edition. Thanks!
What a lovely tablescape! The turquoise is so pretty next to the snow! Love it all!

Would it be incredibly tacky of me to invite myself for tea on that lovely table??? Do you think she would mind??? I don't know how you do it, but I just want to somehow morph myself into all of your pictures. So pretty. Thanks for sharing!
Kate
Tracey amor, how absolutely lovely everything looks against the white snow. You always share the most beautiful things! Thank you :) Besos, Rose
It's all so pretty. You have made me very happy.
I am inspired to set a table like that. And what a fun gift idea the wrapped up scarf is.
Hats off to Susan and Jeanne d'Arc!
What an adorable table! When I think of the box of old sheet music I have in storage I could cheer. I'm a little short on the milk glass component though.
Super lovely post, Tracey, as always!!
That winter scene is gorgeous! I am going to check out her blog!
J'adore the dining set, it's my fav color. Happy weekend Ms. Tracey!

First off Susan's table is just beautiful, it would be such a dream to have a girls luncheon at that table with piping hot lattes bundled up... completely inspiring to bring luncheoning (is that even a word :) back while the kiddos are at school... or having sippy cups watching Blues CLues would even work for me,
THe magazine picutes... had me hopping out of my chair FYI love the round sphere paper thingy oh i know just where i would put that I'd need more than one in various sizes of course :)
your home looks like it could be right out of the pages its!!!
I'm snowed in and have the decorating bug... oh help my family
hee hee
