I am most delighted to have you join in..for it's YOU who makes it a "show and tell party". I also participate in Tablescape Thursday the host of that fun carnival is the Hostess with the Mostess...Susan of Between Naps on the Backporch. That's no lie or exaggeration, each week I visit Susan's porch and just long to be a guest at any of her tablescapes...especially those held on the porch. (You can click on any pictures for a closer view) *Thrifty Thursday takes place each Thursday and is hosted here at Tales from Bloggeritaville, but the party is a progressive one, visit the links to see all the Thrifty Thursday links to see the thrifty treasures participating bloggers have to share. *Don't forget to copy and paste the Thrifty Thursday logo button to your computer so you can add it to your side bar and your Thrifty Thursday post. That way visitors will know that your are participating in Thrifty Thursday. For today's Thrifty Thursday, I thought about sharing some ideas made from freebies. I've been thinking outside of the box to create something that is truly unique, one of a kind artwork or an interesting conversation piece. Using old tools an interesting piece of artwork was created. One with alot of visual interest....one that comes in spades ;) Get it? Spades. :) And what about fashioning a chandelier from an old pot rack and some silver spoons and candles. How cool is this in a kitchen or outdoor porch? Speaking of dining..... Today is also which is hosted by Susan of Between Naps on the Porch. My tablescape today is white plates (surprise, surprise!). These features fleur de lis that are raised, looking like pottery. With the white, I thought I would kick it up a notch in the form of some festive napkins & palcemats. I adore the light blue pompoms on the red and orange striped fabric placemats. And the napkins with their playful red floral fabric tucked into turquoise glasses. Its a busy combination, but I think it works! It makes me happy! It makes me want to celebrate! What flavor margarita would you like? (plates, placemats, glassware and napkins can be found at AT HOME in Homewood, Alabama) Thanks to all of you for stopping by and participating in today's Thrifty Thursday. I am also linking today to Linda's Coastal Charm. Please use Mr. Linky below to link up your blog. Please leave a comment after linking.

Today I'm sharing a simple and neutral way to create a tablescape for Thanksgiving!
It all started when my daughter was in high school. She got the nickname Strawberry because of her auburn red hair. So she started collecting everything strawberry. This went on into college and her first apartment. Eventually she moved on from strawberries and I inherited all her strawberry “st

I have had a sunflower tablescape in the back of my mind for over a year. I have two different sunflower salad plates and I decided to use this one this year. I found the tablecloth on Amazon. It’s a bit busy but I think it works here. You seldom see a single sunflower, they tend to be in bunche

I will start by saying yes, you would remove the centepiece before dining because it blocks the view somewhat. I have been talking to my husband about a tablescape with a ship theme for a while. He found this ship at an estate sale earlier this year and I decided to pull something together. Altho
