Our daughter Katie turned 25 last week and on the morning of a little dinner party planned for her it snowed here! A theme is born…the snowflake table.
Her snowflake taco party was a success!
The cake was a spice cake with snow on top. Yes of course that’s snow in the form of powdered sugar! The only problem with snow on top of a birthday cake is when you go to blow out the candles you also get a snow flurry!
I’m linking to the lovely Susan at Between Naps on the Porch please click on over to see some very nice tables set for our enjoyment!
Plates: Nikko – Vintage Lace Platinum from Marshalls ~ Snowflake tablecloth, centerpiece, napkins and napkin rings are from Martha Stewart K-Mart collection ~ Candle holders are from a garage sale ~ Goblets, cut glass dessert plates, cake plate and scarf I used as a runner are from thrift stores ~
Photobucket replaced all my photos with ugly black and grey boxes and they are holding my photos hostage until I pay them lots of money. I’m slowly going through all my posts and trying to clean them up and replacing some photos. Such a bother.

This is sooooooooo pretty, Ellen! I can’t believe you even have snowflakes napkins. 🙂
Beautiful table Ellen! We are so dry here this year….I’m in the mood to make some kind of snowflake wreath to hang beside our front door….GIVE ME SNOW! And I LOVED that Katie got to create a little snow storm when she blew out the candles….those are the great memories….too funny.
I just love these. I keep saying you should open your own business doing this type of thing. You are spectacular. I have to say and don’t take this wrong but Tacos on that setting just seems like oil and water LOL I bet those were the prettiest tacos out 🙂 LOL
Ellen, that’s beautiful! We are invited to our granddaughter’s One-derland Birthday soon and the theme will be snowflakes… but I don’t anticipate it looking as elegant as this one for a 25-year old.
Beautiful. Would never of guessed tacos were about to be served though.
Very pretty!! A belated Happy B-day to your girl – 1985 was a great year!
That is a truly beautiful table theme, Ellen! And for a truly beautiful reason to celebrate.
That Damask ‘snowflake’ table cloth — was the BEST !!! Nice job.
You certainly have beautiful things and a flair for putting it all together! I looked back at the post with all your table scapes from the year….gorgeous! I’m sure you are busy with wedding plans. Our daughter was married in Sept so I now from whence I speak! 🙂
Very beautiful! With all these lovely table settings you must have a lot of storage space for everything, lol! That cake looks so yummy!!
I love this tablescape! You should check-out our Snowflake Placecard holders and napkin rings…they are perfect for your table setting. Thanks for the inspiration.
Snow flurry! LOL
The table looks great! Guess a lot of us were thinking snow and ice tonight!
Love your pretty snowflake napkin rings. Looks like above missed them! 🙂
Happy 2011!

Ellen. . again a lovely tablescape. I love the picture close to the bottom. The vertical one at table view. Lovely.
I smiled at the info about blowing out candles on a powedered sugar topped cake. Fun.

Gorgeous. You had my attention with the thrift store bargains. That’s what I call treasures.
Hello Ellen B!!
Your snowflake table is gorgeous!!! HAve you ever done a collage of all your tables you’ve set? I think that would be fun to see.
I hope you’re having a lovely day. Minus the toe incident of course ;-O.
