Lemonade in the Snow Anyone?

I thought we could revisit this post I did last February for Beverly's Pink Saturday.  With the whole country suffering with heat indexes over 100 looking at a pink tablescape on a snow covered table seemed to be appropriate.



This week's table is a reflection of our recent snowstorm here in Michigan.  I am in a pink mood right now and noticed that I had several pink things on my island so I decided to make a tablescape on one of the small tables on the porch.  Our porch is very deep on the back and we hardly ever get an accumulation of snow so this was an unusual opportunity.

Pink Lemonade in a beautiful hobnail pitcher I found at Salvation Army. The stack of plates are Palm Restaurant on the bottom, Johnson Brother's Summer Chintz in the middle and Crate and Barrel under the sherbet glass.

You can see on the plate that as I was setting up the table it continued to snow and the place setting ended up with snow on all the plates.

 The snow sundaes are served in silver and cut glass sherbet cups that I found

in an antique store in South Carolina.

The silver and porcelain candelabra is from Marshalls.

There is about 2 inches of new snow on the table, our total for the 24 hour

period was over 14" and the drifts over our drive way were over 3 feet deep.

Inside each lemonade glass was a linen napkin, a cake fork for the

 lemonade cake and a silver spoon for the snow sundae.  

Unfortunately it was so cold outside that the cloche kept fogging over no matter

now many times I wiped it down so the pink lemonade cake is a little foggy

 looking in the background.

I have to tell you that when my brother saw this tablescape on the porch he said he was sure I was nuts and that the neighbors were telling their children to walk on the other side of the street when they passed by our house.  Obviously he doesn't understand the joy of a tablescape.
