I am most delighted to have you join in..for it's YOU who makes it a "show and tell party". I also participate in Tablescape Thursday the host of that fun carnival is the Hostess with the Mostess...Susan of Between Naps on the Backporch. That's no lie or exaggeration, each week I visit Susan's porch and just long to be a guest at any of her tablescapes...especially those held on the porch.

Today's Thrifty Thursday is in the spirit of Christmas. I am sharing a bit of my kitchen Christmas decor, all of which is on a budget. I shared this space in a Halloween Thrifty Thursday and thought I would do the same for Christmas.


The 2 glass jars were purchased at the thrift store, as were the balls inside.  
In the gold and white one with balls, a strand of  pearls  is also mixed in- the strand from a Mardi Gras parade (free of course, and NO! I didn't bear skin to get 'em!).
The glass hurricane vase on a stand (with silver balls from Big Lots) , I have had forever.
The stand itself, was a Southern Living at Home splurge. I think it is called the St Charles pedestal. I use it often, changing out what goes on top.
The "Peace" sign was $1.00 from Dollar Tree.
The shelf, a thrift store find for less than 3 bucks.
All of the Glitter Homes (I like to call them Sugar Shacks) were $1.00 each purchased after Christmas at T.L. Maxx (love that store!).
The Silver Palmtree platter (Sorry, I can't put away all my love for the ocean) was a gift from Peg.
And the starfish, another $1.00 find at TJ Maxx.
The Santa and the snowmen with children, a gift from my mom.
The Santa under the dome (inspired by Cindy of Cottage Instincts) came from Tuesday Morning, it was $2.99.

And that's my Thirfty Thursday !

Now, onto to Tablescape Thursday, which is hosted by Susan of Between Naps on the Porch.

My festive tablescape of reds, whites and greens is courtesey of my visit to the At Home store. (Actually photographed IN the store). Tree toppers were added to the table as "finials".

What is a tablescape without the food? I invite you to stop by my food blog, PLATES & PLACES, tomorrow for Foodie Friday!
