Thrifty Thursday-Plus a Tablescape

Welcome to Bloggeritaville! It's Thrifty Thursday!

It's also Tablescape Thursday so it has to be a party! I am going to partipate in both today. Chandy created this double post badge, thanks Chandy! Heart Chandy.

Tablescape Thursday is hosted by the ever gracious and lovely Susan of Between Naps on the Porch.If you are participating in Thrifty Thursday, be sure to grab yourself a Thrifty Thursday button and let's get started! For those that don't know, 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, dumpster diving, or an 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! Thanks for stopping by! Let's get to it!

My tablescape is a thrifty one today, as most always. Today, lets go outside for a bite to eat. It's a tea party for one as well, so I am going to contribute to Rose Haven's Tea Party as well.

I found the dishes at my local thrift store. They are Johnson Bros Ironstone.

The pattern is Old English Countryside. I purchased a 8 piece place setting for about $40.00 bucks. I am in love with the transferware pattern.

The pattern has browns and blues, yellows and greens-even a bit of pink in the bushes in it. And of course a white background. It features an English countryside scene, a little village with thatched roof houses that line the streets.

My chair was a find, my mom found it at her barn. It was pitched out by a previous owner. It is a vintage piece. I don't have the original table. But if I could find it it would be worth $250.00 for the two vintage pieces. My chair, was free.

Also free was the tablecloth. It was given to me by my cousins, Jeff and Brenda. It belonged to Jeff's mother, my Aunt Merle. I am happy to have it. They also gave me the embroidered napkins I used today as well.

That's it....my thrifty Thursday contribution.
