Not So Winter Blues Tablescape

With record cold temperatures hitting most of the country right now, our niece Maya wanted to "warm things up" a little by setting a fun table challenging herself to use mainly thrifted or sale items from our tablescaping shelves. (What you don't know is she and Pat absolutely love to go thrifting - rummage sales, thrift stores, second hand stores, and consignment stores - for "the thrill" of finding that special "treasure" - stuff I usually call "junk"). 

The wine themed accent plates by Royal Norfolk were $3.00 for twelve at a city wide rummage sale.

Glasses are "Madeira" by Franciscan - Pat paid one dollar a piece for them at a local thrift store

The flatware languished on the shelf for a very long time at Bed, Bath and Beyond before it went on sale at a deep discount (80% off). I took it home.....

Where it came from:

Wicker Charger Plates - from Pier 1 (on sale) years ago

Sage Green Wood Charger Plate - from Pier 1 years ago

Dinner, Luncheon, and Bread/Butter Plates - Vintage Cobalt and Mulberry Fiesta(ware) by Homer Laughlin from Replacement.Ltd., eBay, and Kohl's
