Thrifty Thursday #27 and a Tablescape

Hi there, my friends!! It's #27 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!

On a recent thrifting adventure I came across this gorgeous Celtic cross.

I like the aged patina that it has with the rubbed details.

It was $9.00. More than I like to pay at the thrift store, but I was in love. It is a fairly large piece and very heavy. It found a home in my kitchen, but has moved from several places throughout my home. I like to move things often. Keeps it interesting, I suppose.

My friend, Bama Belle, was so kind and shared some grape tomatoes from her garden. I love fresh vegetables, as do my children! Thank you Bama Belle!

Be sure and stop by Thoughts of a Bama Belle to see her tablescape as well as enter her Fall Giveaway..yes! It's time to start thinking about fall decor. Can you beleive it?

Thanks for dropping by on Thrifty Thursday!

Now onto the Tablescape Thursday segment of the post....which also happens to be thrifty!

This tablescape is a country setting strawberries and tea.

The quilt was a thrift store find. $20.00. It is really an old quilt, not a reproduction, and was in good condition. The colors I loved.

All of the dishes, my moms! Free. A clear depression glass plate. A basic white mug. Doily that was inherited.

The teaspoon purchased at an antique shop very inexpensively. $2.00

The teapot, a gift from my cousin, Gina.

The silver pitcher, found at "the Longest Yard sale" (which is coming up in August be sure to google it!). The Crape Myrtle is from my mother's yard. Free. And gorgeous!

I encourage you to visit my friend Susan of Between Naps on the Porch for some great Tablescape Thursday participants.

I invite you to visit PLATES AND PLACES for Southern Staples and my Friday Foodie Friday. Thank you so very much for joining in Thrifty Thursday today! I treasure your friendships and comments. I truely do.
