Thrifty Thursday #76 + a Tablescape!

Hi! It's Thrifty Thursday! I am your host, Leigh. Thank you so much for stopping by and additional thanks to those who also participate in Thrifty Thursday! 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.

For today's Thrifty Thursday, I wanted to share with you this very thrifty bedroom full of ideas and possibilites:

























I love the use of feedsacks for pillow cases.
And check out the artwork...old wood, created into flag artwork:

















I see those metals stars in so many antique stores and really, all over. I love that idea...for this boys bedroom...or a outdoor living space. Really...anywhere!




And now onto my Tablescape:


 Hosted by Susan of Between Naps on the Porch.




































































I think we ALL need to begin our day with a big cup of wisdom!
And to whipe our faces with joy!
Don't you?

Open House-Gallery Hallway

I have shared with you my gallery wall in the hall before, but I made a few changes and added some additional photographs. So, thought I would give you one more hall tour on the Open House Tour Segments.

I added the pictures to the wall above the gate leg table (that was a gift from my cousin Becky). They include a photo of my family's shadow. Pictures that my uncles drew (they were both artist). My son's artwork that is a sunflower. Personal items. Pictures I took of places I love to visit. And old family photos.

These are all things that I love to look at. I will now allow you to look around, but before I do I invite you to visit more of my hall wall gallery by clicking here. By clicking you can see more close ups of photographs and memorabilia.

Hope to see you tomorrow!
Have a wonderful day!
