For today's Thrifty Thursday, I thought about sharing some ideas made from freebies. I've been thinking outside of the box to create something that is truly unique, one of a kind artwork or an interesting conversation piece.
Using old tools an interesting piece of artwork was created. One with alot of visual interest....one that comes in spades ;)





























Get it? Spades. :)
And what about fashioning a chandelier from an old pot rack and some silver spoons and candles. How cool is this in a kitchen or outdoor porch?



























Speaking of dining.....


Today is also which is hosted by Susan of Between Naps on the Porch. My tablescape today is white plates (surprise, surprise!). These features fleur de lis that are raised, looking like pottery. With the white, I thought I would kick it up a notch in the form of some festive napkins & palcemats.



















I adore the light blue pompoms on the red and orange striped fabric placemats. And the napkins with their playful red floral fabric tucked into turquoise glasses. Its a busy combination, but I think it works! It makes me happy! It makes me want to celebrate!
What flavor margarita would you like?

(plates, placemats, glassware and napkins can be found at AT HOME in Homewood, Alabama)
