Welcome to a double post and a give-away!! Our hostesses are
Susan and
Leigh, click the links for some great tablescapes and thrifty ideas! My phlox are in bloom and its my 98th post! To celebrate, I am having 3 give-aways starting with my 98th! To sign up just leave me a comment on this post until Friday at Midnight. Better yet, if your a follower and leave a comment you automatically get your name entered 3 times!! I will announce the winner on Sunday and have details for my next give-away!
Today is thrifty and phloxy!! OK, is there such a word ? We have been having the most perfect summer weather! Everyday has been sunny and low 80's and low humidity. Believe me, in March when some of the rest of you have glorious weather I will be so envious! My centerpiece is a pitcher I found for $2.00 and I filled it with my garden flowers! My china was bought at K-mart for $16.00 ( 20 piece set) and is Martha Stewart Living.
The cute little bunny, the votive holders shaped like garden pots are all dollar tree. The glassware was purchased years ago in Mexico.
My new little place mats! Bought in North Carolina at the neatest little shop for only $1.00 a piece.
Here is a closer detail!
The dinner and salad or dessert plate.
All 3, i think these are so pretty for the price!
My simple centerpiece!
My mom bought the napkins at a thrift store for me (very cheap) I wish I was good at folding napkins but if I had some pretty paper one's to match I would have used them! Who wants to wash and dry napkins in the summertime!
Another view for the view!
Here's my first give-away!! I found this pretty little tea-pot while on vacation ! It was in a thrift shop but it was brand new in the box and had never been opened! I love the Victorian and romantic look of it and now I hope someone else can enjoy it too! Please leave me a comment and you will be entered! If your a follower or become one, you get 3 automatic entries. My comment button is way at the top of the post ( I know, I'm the strange one) Good Luck and I am so glad you stopped by, Cindy

I covet that tea pot...wrong I know. And those votives are great. I'll have to check out our dollar store. Too cute.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm a follower now. i thought I was and turned out I wasn't. Now I am.
ReplyDeleteCindy, I love your dishes. They are so pretty. I really miss K-Mart and Martha's things.
ReplyDeleteI also love the placemats. what a bargain.
Please put me in your drawing for the pretty teapot. I also signed up to be a follower.
Oh Cindy, I can't believe I have not been signed up as a follower until now (I just did), cause I have really been a follower.I LOVE those purple flowers, the colors are so vivid. The placemats are so pretty, too bad you had to cover them, although the plates are very pretty too. Love the centerpiece and the teapot giveaway...Christine
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tablescape. Love the little dog on the placemats. That window sure does bring the outside in ~ especially with your wonderful centerpiece. 98 down, two to go, congrats on almost being to 100 posts!
ReplyDeleteDawn
I could live in your house - the phlox, well, absolutely breathtaking! Placemates - I want some! The yard - oh, what I'd give! So glad I found you today so I could enjoy your lovely tablesetting!
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy. The setting for your table is beautiful, as are the phlox and your gorgeous, green yard. No matter what dishes or goblets you use, I'm sure your table would be inviting to any of your guests!
ReplyDeleteSucha pretty table and I love the arrangement!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty tablescape. Love the hydrangea dishes. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love your plox. The picture of it from inside the window is lovely. What a view!
Oh Cindy! I love the table setting. Honey it is just beautiful. The napkins look so lovely with the place setting. Don't you just love Dollar Tree and the Thrift stores. They are just great. Now honey, about that tea pot. It has my name all over it. I started collecting tea pots when I moved away from Oklahoma, as Moma and I always say if we only had time for tea together. This way when I have tea I am thinking of Moma and she too the same way. That is the most beautiful thing ever. What a wonderful treasure to give away. Now I am already a follower, so I am submitting my post for the drawing. Thanks again Cindy. Country Hugs, Sherry
ReplyDeleteI love this teapot and your blog looks darling, I will be back to visit! karen...

ReplyDeleteBrenda
Very pretty - love your new teapot
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy .. Love the dinnerware and the Glasses from Mexico.. beautiful green. I wanted to get back to you about the Fruit Stoneware I had featured on my TT post.. It came from Target.. I got them on Clearance about 2 months ago.. I checked and they do have some available online only. Here is the link. http://www.target.com/American-Simplicity-Square-16-pc-Dinnerware/dp/B0012QN57G/qid=1247789360/ref=br_1_5/177-5093623-0043505?ie=UTF8&node=358060011&frombrowse=1&rh=&page=1
ReplyDeleteGood Luck.. And thank you for the sweet comment.
Hugs,
Debbie
Cindy,
ReplyDeleteI love your china and the centerpiece is lovely but that teapot is a beauty,(you know I collect tea sets and teapots)so be sure and put me in 3 times!
Cindy, this is so pretty. What a great deal you got on that pretty pitcher, and your flowers look so pretty in it. Another bargain on that lovely china, and those placemats are so unique and so pretty (they almost look like some kind of needlework). Those napkins are just as sweet as they can be, and I think you did a great job folding them. But that view out your window just looks like a painting! Absolutely stunning. Almost wouldn't matter if you used white paper plates on the table with a view like that to enjoy while you dine! laurie
ReplyDeleteOOOPS! Forgot to tell you that your giveaway is so generous and gorgeous. Please don't forget to add my name to the drawing. laurie
ReplyDeleteohhh very pretty! like you i agree on the weather..we're spoiled right now.
ReplyDeletePlease enter me!
Dear Cindy,
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS on your 98th post.
I love the purple flowers looking in the window, watching the Tablescape Dinner....such a beautiful back drop for the pretty tablescape you created.
I love those Martha Stewart Dishes...so very pretty and the rabbit candles are so very sweet.
The Teapot is beautiful and I believe if you look real hard it has my name on it...lol...
I have been a follower of your beautiful blog for some time and YES i want to be included in the give away for this beautiful teapot.

I love your tablescape and those dishes from KMart are SO pretty! What a bargain! I especially love the view out the window ... so peaceful! Thanks for sharing! And please count me in the awesome giveaway! Congrats on your 98th post!
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy!
ReplyDeleteI just had to stop back in one more time and take a look at that teapot. It is so absolutely precious. The color is so vivid and I love the style. Great table setting but that tea pot is something else. Great post honey. Thanks for sharing. Love the drawing also. Please stop by and say hi. Country Hugs, Sherry

ReplyDeletecmflan122@gmail.com
The Martha Stewart china is so pretty. You were very lucky to find the placemats at a great price and so cute. The colors look summery but in cool hues.
