Thrifty Thursday #114, Plus a Tabelscape

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.

I found this framed Pier One Imports Shadow Box at the thrift. The faux tree inside, not my style....but I can appreciate a good shadow box. At the Hobby shop shadow boxes can get pricey. So at a buck thirty eight, Sold! I knew I could do something with the frame.

I deconstructed the box, taking off the back and removing the terracotta pot. In the process I tore the cardboard....but I just turned it over and painted it.  Then I took some shells our family has collected over beach vacations and I hot glued them onto the painted side of the cardboard. After it was dry, I nailed the cardboard back to the shadowbox frame. And voila....

 

A fun way to display our collected shells and a great way to showcase out memories. Everytime I look at it, I rememeber those moments and discoveries with my children.

Tablescape:
How about a Spring Celebration?

 I LOVE a party! And this tablescape does more than suggest a party....it demands one!
All of the table goodies can be found at Harmony Landing in Homewood, Al. 

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