Berry Thrifty Breakfast

Hey everyone-Happy Tablescape Thursday with a twist! I've accepted Diann's challenge to see if we could set a table using only thrifty items so I'm also joining the first Thrifty Tablescape Party!

Doily/runner from a yard sale $1
Footed milk glass bowl-Salvation Army 99¢
Corelle Strawberry Sundae pattern, 4 plates from Salvation Army 69¢ each, cups 39¢
Strawberries-I bought 10 hanging baskets that were marked down from $12.99 each to $1

Flatware was a give-away from Michael at Designs By Gollum:@)
Napkins, set of four-TJ Maxx reduced to $4
Mini vases, set of three-Walmart marked down to $1
Ma gave me a clump of the little daisies from her yard years ago.
Enjoying fresh strawberries from the garden on pretty plates... priceless:@)
Have a happy day!

    What a great challenge. It just goes to show you don't have to have expensive china, silver, and crystal to set a beautiful table. It looks great, Lynn!

    Oh my, such memories. My Mom had that Corelle set. We ate many a wonderful meal off of it.

    Hope to see you at "Where do you keep it all?" this Sunday.

    If you had not spilled the beans no one would be able to tell you had pulled this table together on a budget. A very inviting place setting!

    Oh, I LOVE Corelle dishes!! I collect them whenever I see them now, and have heard other women say that they now wish they had hung onto theirs!.. Funny thing to me today, though, was that I picked up some Corelle today from a garage sale, for FREE!.. But I didn't know it till I got HOME! It's called Corelle Coordinates (don't know the pattern yet).. but it weighs and feels like stoneware/Phaltzgraff. Well, whatever the case, I just thought it was pretty!... Love your milk glass from Salvation Armani! Have a great weekend! ~tina
