SOME THRIFTY FINDS

In between Grandbaby duties I've found a few thrifty items to share

These stripped glasses look old and at .75 each I couldn't leave them

the plates are a pattern I already have a few pieces of & were .39 each

I love the blue of these Laura Ashley luncheon plates .69 each

This glass dish was a sweet find for .65

A new piece of Milk Glass for my collection

It's a candle holder

Beautiful lines for $1.49

I'm joining Linda at Coastal Charm for

Nifty Thrifty Tuesday

LOOKING BACK ~ EASTER 2010

I am home for a few days but will return next week to continue helping my daughter and of course loving on that sweet Grandson of mine!

Since I haven't had much time to decorate for Easter I thought I would share last years Easter tablescape first posted March 17th, 2010

Today I am showing you a fun Easter tablescape!

How much fun to sit down to this for breakfast or lunch on a bright Easter Day.  

Start with these cute placemats!

Next I used my white chargers and layered a soft yellow Fiesta dinner plate on that.

 I added a soft  blue salad plate to add another color to the table

Pink polka dot napkins with bunny napkin rings are next

These beautiful Pink goblets are from CSN.COM

I also set a place for a child....

Such a fun place mat lends itself to a young one, not having one of my own I set this table with my Friends Diann, Troy & The Little Princess in mind 

I even had this two handled cup 

I continued the Bunny theme with a basket, Pink Beanie Baby Bunny

and some pastel eggs.

This cute egg cup was a gift from my friend Sandie

the cute egg candle was a thrift shop find

This egg cup and cute candle I've had for awhile

This dish could hold cookies

I got this set of 4 pink polka dot plates at HomeGoods

The rabbit salt & pepper from World Market

Along with this cute egg holder

Happy Spring!

This table was so much fun to put together! 

I'm joining these party

TIGER PHOTOS

Thank you for all your well wishes and sweet comments on the new man in my life!  He is the sweetest baby and doing so well!  Sara & Blake are the best first time parents!  I am so proud of my daughter and SIL!!  So here are some new pictures of the little guy....6 days old!

This NB sleeper is one I bought and we thought we better put it on him quick!  He is so big he can't wear most of his Newborn outfits!  

 Such a face!

 This could be Sara's baby picture...he looks so much like her in this photo, I have a picture of her making this face!

More like his Daddy in this one!

Awwwwwwwwwwww

Sleep tight little Tiger!

 

I am still helping my daughter.  I have been so blessed to spend these days with her and share this special time with them as a new family.  I will be back to my regular blogging when I return home.

I am the happiest Grandma!

Hugs,

Linda

BLUE BIRD SPRING VIGNETTE

I have a vignette I want to share with you.  Everything is either thrifted or bought on clearance.  I'll do an Easter vignette soon but until then this just makes me feel Springy! 

I love the soft blue and whites of this vignette

I put this blue bird from Michael's under the cloche

The blue birds and 'Friends' sign were on clearance at Michaels 70% off

A close up 

I used one of my milk glass bud vases and added some sweet little white flowers that are growing wild in my back yard

I love this milk glass plate with a blue and brown pattern

I used two soft blue plates and two 'spring' plates in the plate rack to carry the color up onto the wall

Thank you to all my Friends for helping me with 'baby watch'.  We are still waiting. 

I'm joining these fun parties!

Linda for 

and

Marty

I hope you will go visit these fun parties!

Hugs,

Linda
