Thrifty Thursday #64, Plus a Beach Inspired 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.

My friend High Mae and I hit some garage sales last weekend. I love to luck up on those nieghborhood garage sales. Lots of buys, just park the car and walk. Greystone was where we found ourselves last week.  I again lucked up on some gently worn brand name clothes for my tween. But my find of the week came from the thrift store. It was this antique mirror.






















It looks like the trim is ironstone, as are the flowers on the side.











































It's not in perfect condition, far from it...but to me it's gorgeous!






















Just look at the little ball feet!







































It was a bargain at $2.88. I am going to hang it with a mirror grouping that I am mapping out in my house. I will share the mirror gallery with you when I get it up on my wall.

Our PB just closed, but not the outlet!!!! I adore those placemats and napkin rings! Love your mirror picture. You should link to Sheila @ Notesongs on Friday!

Sue said...

Leigh, I have never seen a mirror like that before. I like the flowers- and who cares if there are some broken ones? That's what adds the charm! Looking forward to seeing it in your grouping soon.
I love the sea fans as chargers and the scallop shaped top plate. I've never done a "sea/beach- scape" table, so I'm truly inspired by those chargers! Thanks for hosting the par-tay.
