Now onto Thrifty Thursday! Yesterday I made a quick stop by The Dollar Tree in search of those cute bird tea light holders that so many of you have been using in your tablescapes. I couldn't find any. But I did find some other thrifty finds...

My youngest son, "J.Smooth" is obsessed with knights. I picked up two "suits" of knight  armor.
It's already being put to good use.

There are fortresses to be won over, ya know. Somethings just can't wait for Halloween.

Hmm, I wonder if he will take on the mound of laundry in the living room that awaits folding?
It's really a monster!
At Doller Tree, I also found some cute little knick nacks for my Halloween display.

The pumpkins, the crows, and the plaque all came from The Dollar Tree.

The skull came from the thrift store for 50 cents, but I saw plenty of those at The Dollar Tree too.
My foiled pumpkin dude was a Cracker Barrell clearance item last year. I think I paid $3.00 for it.


Dinner anyone?

A few weeks ago I paid a visit to Consigning Interiors in Pelham and picked up this tiny cloche with real acorns for $3.00.

Excuse the laundry in the background (The pink tshirt), I told you it was piled up.

Tablescape Thursday is going on today too!!

Tablescape is hosted by the lovely, Susan of Between Naps on the Porch.. She really is a tablescape hero in my book. I could never come up with differnt tablescapes week after week. I am not that creative. If I ever have any ideas, they come from all of you....or by window shopping or looking through magazines.
Some of you mentioned last week that AT HOME (where many of the tablescapes the last couple weeks have been from)  does not have  online shopping. I hate that, but I would suggest calling the store if you see something that interest you. I am sure that they can help you with it and their prices are very reasonable. Good Luck!
Back to the tablescape...
Today's Tablescape is all AT HOME. I cheated. This is actually their display of white pottery style dishes.

Aren't they beautiful? And I love those burlap placemats. Seriously, when is At Home going to start giving me royalties for showcasing their wares? I so love that place!

Speaking of tablescapes... What is a tablescape without the food? I invite you to stop by my food blog, PLATES & PLACES, tomorrow for Foodie Friday! And tomorrow in Bloggeritaville, I have things to share! My sweet blogger friend, Swampgirl, sent me something really cool. It came in a HUGE box! I will share with you tomorrow what was inside!

I want to dish out some link love today to two bloggy friends...

Sarah, over at A Beach Cottage is having a great giveaway. Coastal Pillows!!! They would be perfect in my home, but if I can't win, I hope you do. Drop by and enter her giveaway, and please tell her that you heard it here in Tales from Bloggeritaville. Many Thanks!

Rachel of Alabama Blogger posted my review on Bayside Grill in Orange Beach, so scott over and check it out. I highly recommend dining there, it's a perfect place for a date night.
