The Chicken or the Egg?
In this case....the chicken
I found this adorable set of dessert plates at the thrift shop and paid $3.50 for them on 1/2 price day. New with tags on they inspired this tablescape
A table for two!
The place setting started with a white place mat that were $1 each from Dollar Tree a few years ago
I used a blue Fiesta plate, milk glass plate with a cute out edge topped by the chick plate
Added an egg cup and faux egg for fun!
All these dishes are from my stash and were found at thrift shops or yard sales
I used white handled flatware and these pretty blue and white napkins bought on clearance from Old Time Pottery (I think)
The glass is old and has a sweet flower pattern on it. These two glasses were found at a thrift for less then $1 each
I had trouble with a centerpiece as nothing I tried made me happy. I settled on this Easter egg wreath with a candle in the center
These cute egg shaped chick Salt & Pepper shakers add to the 'theme' of this table
Sweet and Simple
After taking all these photos I did pick some flowers from the yard and think they add a nice touch of Spring!

So pretty Linda. Your pics are pretty fabulous too. Today must be the day of egg cups...my fil gave me two last week, today I saw the same exact one on another blog, and now I come over and see your pretty one. Love your plates too.
Love the plates, love the S & P and love that glass!!!
I say the chicken came first 'cause no where in the Genesis 1 account does it say "On the _____ day, God created eggs."
I'm just sayin' - - -
Very cute! Lovin' your new chickie plates Linda-enjoy:@)
How cute is that little chick on the dessert plate. I also love the little egg cup. In fact, I love everything, ha. It all looks ready for Easter and spring.
What a neat place setting with all your 'Thriftin' pieces. Well done! Are you sittin' down? The footed crystal glass you paid less than a dollar for are made by Jeannette Glass Company..1932-1970...are called Iris and Herringbone and listed for $18(6") and $26 (6.5")...WooHoo!
These are so pretty Linda. I love the milk glass and the soft blue and white.
Love those darling dishes! What a steal! Your table looks adorable! Thanks for sharing.
Linda, your little chicken plates are adorable. You have made a beautiful table scape!
Loving the blue tablesetting! Sure enjoy seeing them.
Have a wonderful time at Tiger's 1st birthday! FUN!!!
Warmly,
deb
Those chick plates are adorable...and the blue & white polka dot creamer is sa-weet!
how stinkin' cute are those plates! Absolutely love the table setting with all the special 'eggy' touches. Just lovely.

CUTE CUTE CUTE
Happy Spring... not that it's here. It's soooo cold.
xoxoxoxo
the table looks great and those plates are darling
Those dishes are precious and what cute s and p chicks! We would have fun shopping together...except we would want the same things! We'd share though! ♥♥♥
I have seen a lot of eggs today! Must be getting near Easter - lol. Of course you did a great job as usual - very pretty and delicate looking. sandie♥
Hi Linda...What an absolutely lovely table setting! Oh, the little chickie plates are SOOOOOO cute.
Loved the candle in the middle of the egg wreath. What a great idea! You know what? I was up in the attic today, saw an egg wreath, and didn't pick it up as I already have a bunch of spring wreaths up. Think I'll go back up there and get it. It'd be perfect on a table with a candle in it! Thanks for the great idea. Susan
Hi Linda, I did a little thrifting today. I saw one of those white milk glass plates but I didn't get it. I should have though. Maybe I'll go back and grab it. I love the color scheme you went with on this table setting. I have some of those pastels in my hutch right now.~Ames
The chick plates are adorable...love that they are blue instead of yellow...such a pretty table, Linda!
What sweet little chick plates! I love that they're blue instead of the usual yellow. You set a great table, Linda.
Love it when we find new stuff at the thrift store. I really like your glasses and you know I love Fiesta! Have a great weekend!
I love those sweet little plates!
I only have a couple of Easter decorations out and don't know how much more I'll get out, we are in the middle of kitchen renovations and helping our daughter move that weekend - just too much going on!
Now, why can't I find cute dishes like that at thrift stores?! They are soooo cute!!! Your table is darling, and those s&p chicks, with the salt one having his beak open is too, too cute!! Thanks for visiting my baby shower post. ~Zuni
Absolutely precious setting. Those s&p shakers are adorable and I love the vintage glassware.

What a pretty tablescape. You really got a bargain on those sweet chick plates. Have a great weekend!
Linda, those little chick plates are just so darn cute! Love those egg cups, too. Blue and white are a classic combination and I love using them. Obviously, you are having good success with it, too! Perfect for spring. :-) Sue
Oh, those little chick plates are so adorable. Love the whole place setting. :)
Beautiful tablescape Linda! Love your new little plates and the whole color scheme of powder blue!

Those chickie plates were such a cute place to start Linda! I bet Mr. A LA CARTE enjoys sitting at your tablescapes. Makes eating so much more fun!
Love your tablescape...I see you added some egg cups!!! But what really caught my eye were those Iris and Herringbone footed glasses that you found for $1...WHAT? Only you could find one of the most sought after depression glass patterns for a dollar!!! Great job!!!
The blue colors are so fresh and pretty, and I love the chick plates~ great find! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Linda, I just LOVE the cute new plates and with the blue Fiesta ware they look adorable. You have the best luck finding stuff at the Thrift store, which one do you go to?
You set such a pretty table. Love those flower glasses.
Oh Linda those chick plates are just precious! And what a great thrifty find. They are perfect with your Fiesta ware and milk glass. Such a pretty table you set dear! ♥
I LOVE THIS BEAUTIFUL TABLE!! I see several people identified the Iris and Herringbone glass for you. My mom had those and I have what was left. Hugs, Ginger
Those chicks are so cute! You did such a great job pairing those plates with your other thrifty finds, love the colors!
Thanks for linking up to Let's Dish!
Hi Linda! Oh, what precious little dishes and what a precious little price too. I love your sweet table setting. My aunt had those same glasses. I always thought they were so elegant and I still do.
Be a sweetie,
shelia :)
Such a sweet table setting! It really does look like a happy spring here. Those plates - adorable!
Have a happy weekend!

P.D.C. Pretty Darn Cute.

I haven't read everyone's comments so perhaps someone else has already told you. You 2 gorgeous glasses are Depression Glass in the Iris and Herringbone pattern. I have a pitcher and a serving plate in that pattern which I love. $1 each is an amazing price. And your whole tablescape is so pretty.
Adorable plates! Oh mylanta! Love them! And the tables cape is your usual perfection.
Oh, Linda, those chicken plates make my heart flutter. SOOOOO cute! You always find the cutest things, and I love your tablescape. It speaks spring!
I'm on Mr. Magpie's computer and hurrying to be out and about to visit everyone who came by. This is awful not having my own computer, but hopefully that will change in the not too distant future.
Love you...
XO,
Sheila

Sweet table setting Linda! I saw an egg wreath at the grocery store and a bunny with some muslin on was stuck inside! It was so sweet!
You always decorate so beautifully! Hugs Anne
