Tablescape/Thrifty Thursday A Colorful Country Table

Welcome to Tablescape Thursday with our hostess Susan and Thrifty Thursday with our hostess Leigh. Please visit these lovely ladies by clicking on the links below. I had been looking for an apothecary jar for some time and when I came across this one at TJMaxx, I was pretty darn happy! It had a rooster hand painted on it and it was also marked down to $7.00. Oh I knew it was calling my name. I am using it as my centerpiece today even though it's a bit tall. I love it and it fits my theme. ( click any pic to enlarge)

I recently moved my antique hutch closer to my dining room table. Hubby made me an armoire to put where the hutch was (future Met Monday) and I really think it fit's better here and the dishes are nice and handy!

A different angle of the hutch and table. It makes for such easy access and since this is a Country style kitchen, nothing too formal looks right in here anyway.

My table is a little bit of this and a little bit of that. I would use this for a casual lunch. My place mats and tablecloth are from Homegoods. They are from the Country living collection. The lemonade glasses were a recent purchase from the dollar tree. The coffee cups are from a 2nd hand store and I used some white plates for chargers that I had purchased last summer at a garage sale.

Those little green apples are candles, but for some reason they wouldn't stay lit.

I bought these cute little napkin rings at Hobby Lobby last winter they were only $2.00 for the set of 4.

The cute little table runner was made by my MIL and she used all scrap fabrics. I just treasure it.! The little birdie salt and pepper were purchased last winter for about $3.00 at a local gift shop.

These next two pics are rather dark, but I wanted you to see the view outside the window. It's so green and pretty right now.

The view.

Thanks Susan!










Thrifty Thursday is right up my alley. I found this adorable little baby chic and the wooden eggs at a local shop.

I think they look cute nestled in the moss.

My MIL made this cute table runner, using scraps of fabric that I already had.

A thrifty country centerpiece and a darling table runner made with love! The apothecary jar only $7.00 at TJ Maxx.

I needed a shelf for my narrow hall that wasn't too wide. I found this cute black one at GW for a 1.99. The little pics are old postcards that were in a box I found at a recent auction. I bought dollar tree frames and used scrapbook paper as the background.

My favorite kind of thrifty! These were on a free table at a recent garage sale. I think they fit perfect on my back splash.

A closer view.

Another closer view and the price was just right! Free! Thanks for stopping my friends, this is a crazy week with graduation , weddings and moving my Mom to her new house. I still wanted to get one little post in. I hope you all have a happy week.. Cindy

Thanks Leigh!
