I’ve been doing a little winter nesting this month and set a cozy table for two by our Winter Nesting Tree.
I always feel a little blue after the tree comes down and miss the soft glow of the twinkling lights after Christmas.
I decorated the tree to enjoy for the month of January with sparkling snowflakes, icy branches and pine cones, nesting birds and glittery bird nests. You can see more of the ornaments and the tree, HERE.
Bird dishes flew in for some winter nesting, landing on snowy white plates, embossed with a flowers and vine border, a promise of spring to come!
Mercury glass votives add some sparkle and shimmer and join glittery nests, pine cones, sprigs of greenery and bird ornaments, nesting as a centerpiece for the table.
Wood beaded snowflake napkin rings add texture and contrast, pairing with embroidered pine cone napkins and twiggy woven chargers.
And a plaid throw provides a cozy tablecloth for a cold winter day!
There is a chance of snowflakes in our forecast this week.

Metamorphosis Monday
Chirp, chirp, warble, coo, tu whit to woo… The dawn chorus will soon return in all its glory. Meanwhile, what a glorious way to pass the winter!
Just so gorgeous. Your collections are so wonderful, and how you keep mixing them for various combinations delightful. What a great way to start the morning. Have a great day, Mary.
Happy Monday!!
Such an inviting table. My faves are the cute bird dishes, the pinecone napkins, and the idea of using a throw for a tablecloth 😊.
Another tablescape to enjoy on this cold day in NYC!
I love those bird dishes, what a lovely warm table.
Just took my tree down yesterday. It was a little too bare so I kept a few twinkling elements and winterberries out and about to keep things glowing until St. Valentine’s Day. Good to see that I have company.
Oh my just gorgeous!! Love the bird dishes … the table is set beautifully in front of your winter tree!!! I loved your idea of a winter tree that I took all the Christmas decor off the tree and put pine cones, white ribbon, white snowballs out of yarn and I have 3 red birds out of like wax and light up … It is not as beautiful as yours but I will be on the look out this yr for more …Thank you for all your inspiration
What a beautiful tablescape and a special treat to receive a post 2 days in a row! I love the bird dishes and have looked for them in the past, however they are no longer available through Amazon, will have to watch for them on EBay. The square dishes are gorgeous! The throw as a tablecloth is lovely and ties everything together so nicely. Well done Mary, you have captured your love for the birds in a most excellent setting.

As an avid bird watcher, I got a kick out of your beautiful post this morning! Hope your clean up from the damaging winds is well under way…so happy to read it was somewhat minor damages and you and family were ok! (We had two beautiful blue jays fly in for their peanuts earlier this am!) I get such pleasure watching them visit the feeders near our breakfast nook!) Looks like you may get some snow in NC this week…enjoy feeding the birds!
Thanks so much Linda! My feeders are filled and I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a little snow! ❄️

Mary, that table setting is absolutely beautiful! I fell in love with your square dishes, so I quickly went looking for them, only to find out they no longer make them in the square shape. 😥
This is by far the best site I have found yet. I live in Florida so a lot of it I have never seen but I am living vicariously through you. Reading your posts absolutely make my day. I love love love it! Thank you for doing what you do.
Thank you for your sweet comment Dicksie!
Lovely, beautiful winterscape!!
Mary, such a lovely and cozy table for two! I love all the sparkle, it sure makes me happy! All of our schools are closed tomorrow due to snow icing on all the roads! We did do some garden clean-up on a beautiful and sunny Monday!
Very Pretty !!

Thank you Paula! ❄️🌲😀
All of it is just so awesome but I am always impressed by your excellent photos. I think you need your own magazine !
You make my day with every post! You must not sleep dreaming up these gorgeous designs!
What a lovely table. Love the square dishes – SOOOO MUCH! I was also inspired this past weekend to do a winter wonderland table. Best regards from Fort Mill.
I always so enjoy your winter tables and I can just imagine that your “nesting” evolves into lots of wonderful creations around your home. Love, love the winter nesting ornaments and what a great feeling of warmth that table brings.
Happy “nesting”!
Absolutely beautiful, love every bit of it!
Very lovely. The plaid throw is one plaid I haven’t seen in a throw. Love it.
Joan

Just simply gorgeous! I adore the birds.
So beautiful! These are my favorite colors in my home.
So nice to see you leave your tree up also. The warm lights and ambience keep the room warmer feeling through cold, dark month of January. Love how you do your tablescapes. I purchased the bird on leaf dishes when I saw one of your posts a few year back and so glad I did. They are lovely and have enjoyed them many times in every season, thanks to you and displaying them in every season, as you do. Thanks for all the beauty and inspiration.
