Thrifty Thursday-Plus a Tablescape

Thrifty Thursday is a show and tell of sorts. It is time for you to showcase your thrifty find. It can be an old find or a new one. It might be something that you found at a thrift store, a consignment store, flea market, garage/yard sale, antique store. It's it was a thrifty find, then it meets the requirements. I am not picky, It can be a great pair of boots & a killer vintage dress, jewelry, home decor, even fishing lures. It is your thrifty find. Tell me about it. Where did you find it? What is it? What do you plan to do with it or how do you plan to use it in your home? Do you want to sell it? Thrifty Thursday's are about the thrill of the hunt...and the treasure you found. So....do show and tell!

My Thrifty Thursday find is a simple one. Simple albeit useful. And something that you might find surprising. My local thrift store gets in large shipments of brand new reading glasses. I began looking over them and found this pair that I liked.

The price tag said $9.95 but it was then marked down to $4.95. For new glasses! The prescription in them was obviously wrong for me. I don't only need reading glasses I need full on glasses. But the reason I purchased them is so I can take them to my eye care provider and get my prescription lenses placed inside.
If you have bought glasses you know that most of the cost comes in the frame. Not so in my case. Cool frames. Affordable frames. Frames that I can swap out because there is little cost in them.

Do I look smart and artsy?
Ok, perhaps I do look dorky. But I am pretty smart, considering the price I paid! Now that is a good thrifty Thursday find!
I am praying that the Mr. Linky I attempted to install will work. If not, It is quite possible I will go off the deep end trying to get it on the post. If it isn't on here, please leave your blog link in the comments so that visitors can swing by and check out your thrifty find.


My friend Susan of Between Naps on the Porch host a Thursday Meme called Tablescapes. I find Susan very inspirational. And my goodness, her porch! I'd love to nap there myself. Anyway, I am playing along today in Susan's Tablescape Thursday. We are simple folks at my house. Many times a paper plate is what supper is served on. Sure we have our everyday dishes to, but nothing special. I actually have four sets of dishes, all of whihc we inheirited, but I have them stored to conserve space.
On my recent trip to the store, At Home in Homewood, Alabama, I found a tablescape that I loved. It took me right away to the beach. So, here is my contribution for today....
I love the natural/neautral colors of white, brown, soft blues and greens in the dishes and glasses.

Even the rattan braided napkin ring is a nod to natural elements.

Very Leigh. Very Me. I love that!

Thanks to all for participating in Thrifty Thursday! And thank you to those who have popped by from Susan's Blog, Between Naps on the Porch. I love new friends!
