Yellow, Green and French??

What do yellow, green and French have in common?  They are all thrifty things I am sharing today!

I found these bright yellow placemats and matching napkins at Value Village for less then $2

I'm always looking for things to add to my tablescaping stash!

This green glass leaf dish will be cute on a table and only 25 cents!

Mugs like this are sold at the restaurant La Madeleine  and cost about $12...I found this one for $1 in a Goodwill....

Sara's wisdom teeth extraction has been moved to next Friday.  So I will get another visit in next week!  I'll be going home tomorrow.

Hot, Hot, Hot!!

It's been a Hot summer already and it's only July 11th~ 

This trayscape says it all!

Hot Summer Colors!

Inspired by this cute Flip Flop candle holder found at a yard sale for 25 cents

Green, yellow and orangey-red plates

A green glass for something cold to drink!

The bamboo handled flatware was found at GW 

 I had this one poppy napkin in my stash.  I love these great colors and the price of 25 cents...who knows I may find another one someday!

I topped a glass napkin ring with the bright yellow flower! 

With the tealight lit this becomes a very special trayscape for one!

Hot, Hot, Hot!

Don't you agree?

I'll be going to spend a few days with my daughter Sara while she has her wisdom teeth out.  I'll be getting some good Tiger time of course!  

Keep Cool,

Strawberries & Much More!

When the mailman rings the doorbell and has a package for me,

 well it makes my day! 

Recently I won Garage Sale Gal's Blog Birthday giveaway and it is sooooo cute!

I love cute packing and Deb wrapped some of the items in sewing pattern tissue

The giveaway had a great 'berry' theme

The vintage kitchen towel and apron both in strawberry fabric...love them! 

Look at the cute pin cushion and Tag that Deb made!  

Thanks Deb for being such a great friend!

The last time I had a giveaway it was from PrintRunner and was for stickers. It was won by  ColoradoLady and I was lucky to be offered the same prize.  I got them in the mail this week!

I made Tiger some book plates! 

 I found this great vintage bookplate at the Graphics Fairy!  She has the best free vintage graphics around!  

Goes perfectly with one of the new thrifty books I found for Tiger! 

Look at these great books about Owls! 

I also recently got a great free offer from Shutterfly

for a photo magnet

I choose to get this great pic of Mom and I 

It's on my refrigerator now! 

Charlie said I hadn't posted his picture in a long time...ever since that 'Tiger' kid came along he feels neglected...so here you go Charlie!

In The Groove!

I am trying to be back in the groove and join in some of my favorite parties 

I love this very small tin of Charles Chips I purchased from my friend Sherry.  It's a sampler tin from this famous snack company.

I found this adorable Morton Pottery cactus planter

(the cactus would be the tail....cute)

I only paid $1 for this guy! 

Do you remember all the glass apple dishes I found on my road trip a few months ago?  Well I found these two small bowls, 60 cents each, and had to add them to my dish closet.  Oh yes, look for an Apple table in the fall! 

Lastly I found these two black Fiesta plates at the thrift shop.  Pretty scratched up, but for 35 cents each they will be a great addition to my tablescaping!

Liberty & Freedom

I meant to get this posted last night but my 

4th of July celebration got in the way!

Still I want to share my holiday tablescape with you!

I hope you aren't too tired of r,w & b

This table runner is a favorite with all the stars!

I used red placemats from the Dollar Tree

White plate and bowl Pfaltzgraff Heritage pattern found at a thrift store

I added a red salad plate and the blue star plates 

I have two blue, two red and two white stars

Sara and Blake gave them to me a few years ago

for my Birthday and I love them!

White flatware, blue napkin with white napkin ring and a great colonial blue wine glass complete the place setting

All solids but I like it!

I want to honor the things that 4th of July stand for...

Freedom

Liberty!

Simple centerpiece....Gardenias (most have already bloomed but I found 3 and brought them in)  Candles on star plates and the Freedom & Liberty signs found on clearance at Hobby Lobby

I hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th of July!
