"Nuttin' Fancy"

It's Tablescape Tuesday again hosted by Susan at BETWEEN NAPS ON THE PORCH and please visit her fabulous blog for a list of other participants in this fun event!

Today I have set up a luncheon tablescape in my breakfast nook using a hodge-podge of this 'n that which I realize could have qualified me for Diane's Trash To Treasure at A Picture is Worth a 1,000 Words....be sure and check out her blog too...

*
*
Here's a little closer view of a place setting...

*
*

I hope the tablescape police doesn't come & get me, because I see the wrong side of the napkin is showing the hem...oops, but the napkin ring is a ceramic Christmas tree picked up at a garage sale several years ago....
*

I tilted this salad plate to try to avoid so much glare...we picked up 40 of these at Target's Dollar bin a few years ago for a party we had....

*
*
*
Okay, now this set of dishes is a service for 8 and I just bought them at my favorite thrift store Saturday for $10....They're nothing fancy and I sure didn't NEED them but I love the octagonal shape... sorry about the glare...a photographer I'm not!
*
*
*
Even the cup & saucer is octagonal

*
*
*
I liked how the design on this candle mimicked the design on the dessert plates... I did light it but it smothered out before I could get the picture taken...
*
*
*
I just had to show you these pretty little cardinal plates...I got 12 for $6. at another thrift store and they still had the original price on the bottom of each for $1.99

*
*
*
And this crocheted tablecloth that someone must have spent hours & hours making, I also got at an estate sale Saturday for $3... I can never understand how people can think so little of their family's things to let them go for nothing...sad...

Thanks for stopping by my bargain tablescape today!
