I found some of these bowls (MacIntosh by Pier 1) at the thrift store and I liked them so much that I filled out the set on ebay. These were the jumping off point for this table. The bowls have a blue rim, so I used some plates that have blue rings on them andContinue reading “An Apple a Day…”

Pretty in Pinks and Reds
I found a set of 8 Villeroy and Boch Portobello dinner plates on my recent thrifting adventure in Atlanta–and I don’t think that they have ever been used. Absolutely gorgeous condition. Anyway, they were the jumping off point for this table. I started with a red runner and lined up my white vases filled withContinue reading “Pretty in Pinks and Reds”
Baby Shower for a Girl
Trying to put together a table with a lot of pink is pretty challenging for me because I am not a big fan of pink, but here we go. I reused the items from the Easter table, and added a bunny pitcher, some baby cups, pewter porringers, and some metal banks–a pig and an elephant.Continue reading “Baby Shower for a Girl”

I bought flowers at Trader Joe’s in the same colors as are on the plates and arranged them inContinue reading “Garden Party Table”

And my husband, who normally doesn’t comment,Continue reading “February Showers Bring Plenty of Flowers Part II”
February Showers Bring Plenty of Flowers
The weather here has been pretty cold, windy, and dreary–which isn’t typical for us. I bought some cheery yellow flowers for Valentine’s Day and I promised you a table using the same flowers. I started the table with a beautiful vintage embroidered seersucker runner with daisies. Then I added a frog pitcher by Bordallo Pinheiro,Continue reading “February Showers Bring Plenty of Flowers”
Latest Thrift Haul
I visited my friend in Atlanta and we hit so many thrift stores. Most of this is listed on ebay. I am going to do some tables with some of it while I have it. So, over the past year, I’ve become a LOT more selective about what I buy to sell. Some things justContinue reading “Latest Thrift Haul”
Pasta? Yes, please!
I found these fantastic Marisol pasta bowls from Williams Sonoma at the thrift store and they have my favorite color combination, so I put together a table. I started with a white cloth and a great runner with all the blues, greens, and yellows which work so beautifully with the pasta bowls. I put aContinue reading “Pasta? Yes, please!”
