A Thrifty Celebration Tablescape

Hi there, my friends!! It's #24 of our Thrifty Thursday!

Thanks for dropping by! I really appreciate all of you playing along in Thrifty Thursday. It is enjoyable to see what treasures all of you find. Not to mention the biggest treasure-meeting you and discovering some fabulous blogs! That's the best part!

A quick recap of Thrifty Thursday, for those who may be new to the idea....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, even antique stores. 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!

Now...onto to the Thrifty Thursday! I am pleased to share with you my good buy of the week. Be sure to grab a button and link back with your direct hyperlink.

I have often been asked where my favorite places to shop for thrifting is or where the locations are for my favorite thrifting places. I have my personal tops that I shop when I am in my area of town. These are places I often drop by weekly to see what has come in. And I think that is part of the secret, to be at the right place at the right time.
In no certain order my favorite places that I often go to: The Alabama Thrift Store in Alabaster, Alabama, Consigning Interiors Pelham, Alabama, and Treasures Thrift Store Pelham, Alabama. Locally my other hunts are estate sales and yard sales. I also love to shop out other areas of town when I have time. But those places listed always reveal a good treasure at a bargain price. A couple weeks ago, I gave you (along with my friends from the Clematis Club) a tour of "my" thrift store. Last week my treasure came from Treasures thrift store. I was going to take you to the final installment this week, which was Consigning Interiors, but instead I thought I would share a more festive thrifty treasure. I will show you Consigning Interiors next week.

Today's thrifty Treasure came from a yard sale. For $5.00 I purchased the Blue and natural picnic basket. Inside were 4 plates, 4 cups, a four place setting of flatware and four mugs. All pieces were individually wrapped, still sealed and never used. The settings are all made from a hard durable plastic. Instead of using the flatware though, I brought my own silverware and put it in a mason jar. I do not like flimsey flatware.

Guest can also drink their Southern Sweet tea from the mason jars.

My table covering is a quilt, purchased from JC Penny.
Perfect! For a Bloggeritaville Thrifty Thursday post, as well as a Celebration Tablescape Thursday celebrating Independance Day!
