I had this blue and white bedroom lamp that needed a shade.  I found a ecru one that looked just right so I painted it and added the ruffling.  The pillow is so pretty with the ribbon embroidry. The little frame is porcelain with blue and white flowers and to top it off the toile box.A sweet vignette.

This is so cute love it.  I don't know if this was hand made as there was no label on it.  But it would be easy to duplicate.  I added the bird and lamp shade.  I would use favorite childhood books and use two sided tape instead of glue.  The bear is by Russ.

This was a pair for a dollar.I' ve the cups for future tablescape  when I can complete some place settings.  I think the birds are quail or partridge.

I tried to get close up but camera still giving me trouble.  I don't know how to reset it. My husband was a bird hunter sorry to say I used to have to cook them.

Little snowman fell on his butte.  Couldn't resist him for 15 cents.

Tuesday is senior 25% 0ff. I think I paid 1.25.I have bowls in the shape of different veggies and corn dishes future tablescape.Looking for teapot.

WE LIVE IN APPLE COUNTRY AND MY KITCHEN HAS APPLE DECOR.

GLAD TO FIND THIS AS I HAVE SOME DISHES SIMILAR TO IT

BAD PICTURE THE LIGHTING IN BEDROOM WAS BAD BUT VERY BEAUTIFUL AND IT WORKS.

MY SECOND CHOICE .  I SEE A PASTEL CHRISTMAS NEXT YEAR.

                     I am so glad that you all like to go thrifting . It makes my heart sing when I find something I can use for my tablescape.  Until we meet again happy thrifting. Hope to see you next week with a new tablescape.                      

Its a blue day

peach and blue dishes at thrift shop love the colors togeather. For soup on a chilly day would be chicken vegetable with a sprinkle of cheese or crackers.

the top dish is oriental but the beautiful blue makes it stand out for a dessert dish.  I always like fresh or frozen fruit with a little  lite whip cream.

Long view of table. I am having camera problems so excuse any blurring.The table cloth is a pale peach  but lights have lightened it .It shows the the blues nicely.

Peach and blue place setting

It's been some blue days up north Mother nature has been quirky. We have very little snow which is unusual for Feb. The place card is a napkin holder like a frame with initials.

I used my mismatched cups and saucers but blend in well

Its been some dreary blue days up north.  One day raining a little snow then melting no sun. I thought Everyone loves blue so thought it might cheer me up but my camera wasn't focusing well and I was getting bluer.lol. My goblets are sitting on blue coasters with silky damask napkins so no need for holders.

I made a little stand with my cobalt blue dishes and holder for cheese and crackers.

I love this vase of blue and white flowers.  the ribbon makes it pretty.

Another dessert plate on pedestal.  Make use of what I have.  Maybe for cute cupcakes.

Blue napkin for place mat and clear handle tableware shows the blue

I love stir fries with beef and onions and peppers simple but oh so good.  A tossed salad and rolls would complete a healthy meal.

I like a table where guests would feel comfortable.

My new dishes

My neighbor just gave me these Bavarian dishes just enough to have for two.  the weather has been ,cold, rainy ,slippery, and dreary. I thought this was a nice time to pamper myself and use my favorite dishes,

A bit of whimsy.  Love my bunny teapot. A cup of hot tea with a little lemon to warm my tummy.

 gold rim and pinkish border to set off my pretty dishes.

Aren't the dishes beautiful?   looked them up and they would be  very expensive to replace.Very dainty and expensive to replace.what's for lunch I am partial to quiche and tossed salad for my veggies quick and easy.

Two dessert dishes.  I think peanut butter ice cream with bannana slices and lite whipped cream yumyum

Pretty floral napkin and varigated place mat on deep pink tablecloth makes me feel special.
