A Wonder-ful Tablescape

I created a little tablescape on a side table in my living area. We have a huge open area, with the kitchen, dining, and family room all in one big area with no walls to divide them.  Our kitchen table is a tall, square table, and I was having a hard time doing a tablescape on it becuase it has a lazy susan in the middle of it and the kids do their homework there. (And with a daughter who's a high school freshman this year, she was studying for her exams there!)

I really love mercury glass, and I bought some mercury glass trees at an after-Christmas sale last year. I combined them with my new turquoise (or is it just light blue?) cake stand, and some anthropologie-inspired mason jars with trees.

Here's a peek...

I put a layer of epsom salt in the bottom of the jars and just placed Christmas tees I found at Michael's at the bottom of the jar into the "snow."

I've thrown out most lids to the mason jars, so I didn't get to do the anthropologie knock-offs like Aimee over at It's Overflowing. Here's hers: 

Here's a close up of mine. Isn't she cute!

I used a "snow blanket" on the tabletop and threw in a few silver and sparkly ornaments I had in my stash.

Here's my new cake stand. I hear Stevie Wonder....   "Is-n't she love-ly. Is-n't she won-der-ful."

I used a glass cheese plate & cover to create my little winter birdie home. I used epsom salt again as snow and placed a few ornaments with birdie. {The eyes are kind of wonky, huh?!}

What is this style called, anyway? I've got my mantel styled as rustic, but is this something else? Vintage? Bling? Country? Eclectic?  Help!

Thanks for stopping by!

Here's a little Stevie for ya!
