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.

My Thrifty Thursday post today.... This mirror.























Can you guess what it is made of?
Times up! Magazine pages. How's that for recycling and repurposing?
(Constructed much like the sheet music wreath, just a tighter roll)
I love thrifting...with a purpose!
And what a statement it makes!

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

Today, because I am still trying to get caught up from weeks from vacation, I am rerunning a fun independance tablescape (that is also thrifty!) from the past....

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!
