...I apologize up front for the dark pictures...I was having some TECHNICAL issues...
...I found this palm tree dinnerware by Home Trends (5 dinner plates and 5 salad plates) at a local thrift shop for $6.00...more than I normally would spend....but I REALLY liked the pattern and so I SNATCHED them up...
...I found the white linen napkins and wooden napkin rings there also (on different occasions)...I gave $1.00 for the napkins and $1.00 for the napkin rings...I thought they were perfect for these dishes...
...I've used my everyday flatware and smoky brown drinking glasses which I already had....I have been on the hunt for some COCONUT drinkware to go with this...wouldn't that be so cute?...
...I found a LEAFY green placemat for .25 cents at another thrift shop and two RATTAN chargers for .50 cents that I thought would be perfect for the centerpiece...I used one of the chargers, the remaining plates, a treasure chest full of greenery and frame (which I already had but were all thrift store finds a few years back), and my newest candlestick from Hob Lob (clearanced at $2.00)...
...had a little trouble getting the plate to stay up after my little one bumped the table...but still turned out okay...
...to add a little more green to the table and balance everything out, I used a green salad plate as a candle plate on either side of the centerpiece...the runner is a white sheer curtain panel....shhhh don't tell anyone...
...I really like this look...now if only I were on a BEACH somewhere...sipping an ICE COLD drink...dining on some delicious LOBSTER or shrimp...ISLAND BREEZES blowing...and soaking in some SUNSHINE...I would HAVE it made!!!...
...HAPPY DINING!!!
I am joining these fabulous parties...won't you join me...

ReplyDeleteShelia,
ReplyDeleteYou really know how to set a table. I'm always inspired by beautiful tablescapes. It makes dining with your family a lot more fun! I will have to keep checking back here the next time we have a dinner party. Love the palm tree dishes you found! Shrimp and Lobster would be amazing!
Oh, and the paint color I chose for the kitchen walls..."Vail" in Satin (Valspar- Lowe's) I should have posted that!
Have a great night!
I am loving the tropical tablescape. I especially love all the thrift finds. Those dishes were a fantastic find. It is so much fun when you can do something this beautiful and didn't have to spend a fortune. I love the centerpiece, so creative. thanks for sharing. I think some kind of rattan glassware would be awesome.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my weekend. I don't know if you intended to have a "no reply" email address. I was trying to respond behind the scenes and came up with a no reply reply address.
Your table looks wonderful. Such fun thrifty finds! I would love for you to join me for "Thrifty Things Friday" party! I usually have the post up Thursday evening. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteYour table looks great! I love the dinnerware-what a find. I also love the way you used the books as risers. I'm visiting from Sherry's Open House Thursday. :)
