Dreaming of Spring Tablescape

It is a very dreary day here in East Louisville...the sun is nowhere to be seen and it's a bit on the chilly side. I think we are supposed to be getting some rain as well. However, there is definitely some sunshine and warmth in my dining room!


I pulled out a tablecloth that I purchased at Goodwill for $2.00 and decided to build a tablescape around it. I just loved the tablecloth as soon as I spotted it, so bright and cheery with it's bold floral print and fun stripes. I've had it for awhile now but this will be her first debut.


I had everything I needed for the setting except the flowers so, after a quick trip to Walmart and about 20 minutes of my time later the table was set.

Yellow Plates are Better Homes & Garden $1 ea at Goodwill 

Small vintage saucers were .25 ea at Goodwill

Blue dinner napkins were $2 for a set of 8 at a Flea Market

Small vases were .55 ea at Goodwill

Stemware $1 ea at Goodwill

Flatware was $3 for a service for 6 plus 2 serving pieces


2 tall vases were $1.25 ea at Goodwill

Red votive's were a Christmas Gift from my Brother and SIL

  9. Hi Love the tablecloth it sets off all your dishes. Very cheery on a dreary day. We too are having dreary weather. My daughter are having spring bulbs in bloom. Up north that is amazing.I wonder what is really going on. At my age I have never seen weather like we all have been having.I wonder what are summer will be like . I am thinking very dry as there is no melt off.

  14. Hi! You recently signed up to follow me on Linky Followers and I want to let you know that I will no longer be using LF. Unfortunately I have discovered some information about them that I am not thrilled with at all so I have removed their gadget from my site. I don't want to lose you as a reader and would love for you to continue following Serendipity and Spice. If you haven't checked out BlogLovin I highly recommend it- as it's the closest thing to GFC I have found.

    I hope you'll continue to follow!

  16. Thank you for visiting my blog and becoming a new follower! I'm returning the favor. You got some great deals at the Goodwill. The nearest one to me, at the moment, is 35 miles away and I've never found any finds like these, especially at these prices. Thankfully, they are opening a new one about 15 miles from me so I'll be able to check it with them more often.

  17. I love to see tables where people can pull it together made up of almost all bargains! It really represents creativity at its finest! I really wish I could find those kinds of bargains around here. The deals run few and far between. Mostly junk at the thrift stores. I'm glad you have been able to find some really cool items to create a table like this!!! Great job!
