Table for One-FALLin' for Dollar Tree

Hi everyone! Have you seen the cute fall dishes and glasses at Dollar Tree? I thought I'd put a setting together using items from that store.
Actually, everything on the table was $1 or a gift!
Dinner plate, soup bowl, glass, leaf doilies and candle holder-Dollar Tree.
Definitely feels like Fall!
I have been extremely fortunate lately, do you see the cute basket weave plate, that was actually part of a fall give-away from Lori at My Heart With Pleasure Fills. Have you stopped by Lori's blog recently? 
She has fun decorating ideas, likes thrifting and shares yummy recipes!
I will enjoy setting the table these goodies, thank you Lori!

  1. Lynn,

    I have my eyes on those dishes too. I bought four of the glasses for my current tablescape. Your place setting looks delightful.

    Thanks for the apple butter idea. I didn't know you could make it without a copper kettle. I will definitely be looking for a recipe and making some. My dad and Jordan LOVE apple butter.

    Have a great day! La

  3. Lynn, what a great post! I love that it doesn't take a big wallet to create a lovely table.

    You really paid attention to detail! I am a huge fan of those leaf doilies. Don't they make everything festive?

    You have done a fabulous job showing us that we can have seasonal dinnerware at that price. ANd the leaf plate and mug are so pretty.

    The red basket weave plate is perfect in this scape.Nice layering.
    Great job!!!! It says, Happy Fall!

  4. I loved your tablescape. It is so nice to see one can be created with having a king's ransom to pay for it. I hope you are having a great day. Blessings...Mary

  19. Wow, your settings are lovely...you reminded me I need to take a look at the Dollar store.
    Have I mentioned that I smile every time I see your blog title...makes me think of something my late father would have said.

  20. Very beautiful and so frugal!! I need to stop by the Dollar Tree soon. I love all the fall colors you used.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I saw those too! On a whim, my mother suggested that I stop by Dollar Tree, and they were displayed at the front. I picked up four plates. They'll be perfect for fall family dinners!!

    I almost bought the bowls too. I might go back. I can picture them on a chili night!

  22. You're getting into the fall decorating mode too I see. Nice items you won.
    I wonder if Dollar Tree is the same as the Dollarama we have here in Ontario? It's a big chain store and we're actually going to get one here in our rural area soon. Yipee!

  25. Glad you liked your "present", I found the basket weave dishes at Pier One. Vintage silver from my collection. And I heart cocktail napkins. Kind a problem, uhem collection of mine. Your table looks perfect.

  32. Great setting! Perfect for a Fall evening!
    No, I haven't seen those dishes, which is a good thing. I spent too much at CTS! They are really starting to bring our the Christmas stuff, Lynn. You NEED to go!

  33. Lynn, this is a great fall table. I'll have to check out the $ store. Love the basket weave plate you received as a gift. ~ Sarah

  34. Way too cute. I will have to go to the dollar store. I love your apple crisp for one. I hung CDs in my apple tree this year so that the birds would be scared off and I just had my first one today. It seems to have worked. Last year I only got one good one - they ate the rest. Can't wait to make something yummy with them.

  35. Hi Lynn...

    This is such a pretty autumn table setting! Hmmm...now I'm wondering why my local Dollar Tree doesn't have any of these pretties? I will keep checking back with them though...maybe they'll be there soon! I think your basketweave plates look fabulous with your new autumn plate! It looks like the glass matches the dinnerware? Awesome! And...I would really love to have some of those leaf doilies...so pretty! Thank you for sharing your autumn pretties with us, Lynn!

    So glad that you stopped by and took a little peek at my autumn dining room, my friend! Sure enjoyed your sweet note! Thank you!!!

    Warmest autumn wishes,

  42. Good morning Lynn, thank you so much for your faithful visits to my Blog. I love reading your comments. I have been gone for 4 days on a buying trip with my sister. I have so many people to catch up with. She is an antique dealer and I went along just to keep her company. She bought a car full and I bought a couple of fun things that I will share later.

    Love the Dollar Tree store because you can decorate nicely on a budget. These days that is a good thing. I love what you found. A lovely table setting Lynn. Congrats on your win. Lucky you. Smile.
    Hugs, Jeanne

  49. Lynn, Your table looks so pretty! I'm going to have to take my thrifting to The Dollar Tree. Isn't autumn the most colorful? And your pretty table shows that. Nicely done.

    I am not buying one more plate or cup or teapot or glass or ...well, I AM buying more flatware..
    I have just flat ran out of space to put another dish..and my poor kids are going to have to do something with them when I die. I am carting a lot of it off to Goodwill..only trouble...I cart something back home, too!! Woe is me...:))

    Oh, and I shipped BACON BETTY off to your house today..regular mail so will be a few days before you get her. Thanks for the fun..I loved it all.

  58. Lynn, that is such a pretty table for one. Why not still sit at a nice pretty setting even if you are eating by yourself.

  61. Oh lot's of fall cuteness on your table -- I haven't been to Dollar Tree for a while -- I need to made a trip soon. Those piglets in the pumpkin are too cute!

    ReplyDelete
  62. That Dollar Tree is a dangerous place. My husband wonders how I can spend that much in a store where everything is a dollar. Pretty Easily! Your table is wonderful, and I love your basketweave plate.

  63. Guess where I'll be shopping tomorrow!

  68. Hi,
    I'll have to stop in at the Dollar Store, I can see!
    Very cute 'table for one'! I love the basketweave plates and your candle holder filled with acorns!

  69. What finds at the $ store. I see so many references to it, but so far I haven't been so lucky, at least not for dishes.

  71. You keep making me wish I'd bought things!!! That is a good thing because I love your table and want one just like it.. It's beautiful.

    ReplyDelete
  72. This place setting is too cute. The basket weave plate goes very well with the dinner plate and leaves. Of course, with the colorful leaves, you could mix and match a variety of colors. I might have to run over to the DT.

    All the Best,

    Requi
