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.

These vintage crates are all the rage now at Pottery Barn.

I found mine at various garage sales....

Mine cost me anywhere from a couple bucks to 15.00. Mine are originals. I see them often at antique shops, some yard sales. Keep your eyes peeled if you want to invest in some too. They are perfect for stoage of all kind of things, from bath towels to DVD's (which is how I use mine. I hate to see all those DVD covers displayed).
Hang 'em on a wall for a folk art type art piece, or use them as a shadow box to feature shells, rocks, etc. They are really useful. LOVE my crates. You will too!

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


How is this for incorporating Thrifty Thursday and Tablescape Thursday? How about vintage crates used at the table. Below it is for storage, but they can be used for toting plates to an outdoor table, toting snacks or used as a serving tray to serve a pitcher of sweet tea and glasses if ice. The possibilites are endless!

I invite you to stop by my food blog, PLATES & PLACES for Foodie Friday.
