Thanks for stopping by!!

I have found so much inspiration that I have started sharing my own addiction of tablescaping. Please feel free to join me as I enter my journey and share my passion for decorating with all my lovely little "treasures".

I decorate my home with vintage, thrift store, yard sale and hand me down items. I shop ebay with a vengance for dinnerware and glassware, the postal service must adore me!

I am very casual, but a bit fussy when it comes down to details. I have spent two thirds of my life in the south, but the southerners say my "nothern side" still comes out! I am guessing this is not such a good thing....and visa versa when I am around my northern relatives, "give me a break"!

Join me any way.......I hope we can be blogging buddies no matter where we all live :)

Hurry,It's time for lunch!

A quick little table setting to play with my new Fiestaware in chocolate brown.  My desire to have chocolate 24/7 has finally come true!  Picked up at Amazon.com as a return at an amazing discount. 

The pink plates were a wonderful
thrift store find.  I was about to
leave the store empty handed
when I spotted them on a bottom shelf.  Same holds true with the flatware.  my daughter and I just threw a box of flatware on a table until we found a set.  :*~:*~tada:*~:*~
sometimes it's just like magic when it happens.






If we add it all up? Let's see, twenty five cents each for the flatware per piece.  I think the loose change at the bottom of my purse for the pink plates was about two dollars, maybe? The Fiestaware was free (woo hoo, I love free) with coupons and Amazon discounts.  I had the Antique glasses.  The candleabra was from a garage sale that I painted years ago.  The most exspensive thing on the table would be the five brown taper candles. I am sad to say I paid 1.99 each for them!  It makes me very very unhappy!

So what's for lunch?  In my dreams it would be hearty beef stew in thoses bowls.  Fresh homemade bread and then an array of hot baked desserts on that dinner plate.  Coffee of course,with real cream to finish it all off.  But that's in my dreams..........:*~:*~:*~:*~:*~who can we find to cook all that?:*~:*~:*~:*~:*~:*~:*~:*~:*~:*~
