Susie's Seashell Tablescape!

"Susie Sells Seashells by the Seashore"....always loved that little tongue twister.
This weeks tablescape is just "Plum Perfect" for Susie! 



I printed the shell postcard from The Graphics Fairy. 

I found the dish set at Goodwill in TN, $7.00 for the whole set.


All of the seashells you see in this post were in a big bag at the Peddlers Mall here in Louisville for $3.00....What a Deal!!

Shhh.....the tablecloth really isn't a tablecloth at all----it's a shower curtain in disguise!!
Another great Goodwill find for $2.00.


I have used this stemware A LOT lately but they are so pretty and seem to go with so many  different settings.




The shell candle holders were also from the Goodwill and were .50 each.
The shell coasters were knew in the package, set of 8 for .99.

I think Susie would be pleased :)

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a blessed week!



This week I am joining the following blog parties!!

  1. Very lovely! There are some really great deals on that table:)

    I use a shower curtain on occasion too, some of them are quite lovely and the price is usually better than an actual tablecloth. lol

  3. You got a great deal on all of your finds, and best of all they look so great together. Your tablescape is very pretty...I'm surprised you found so many great things at Goodwill. I need to go shopping with you because the Goodwill where I live is terrible. Looks like you have a great eye for bargains though! Thanks for sharing your table at my party.

  14. You are very thrifty and this table looks like a professional decorator set it. I love the china and think your glassware is a perfect match. I was going to ask you where you found the tablecloth but amazingly a shower curtain! Pam

  19. This table is right up my alley! I would kill for those dishes (and you got them at GW!). Shower curtains are great tablecloths because the fabric is nice and sturdy and they come in so many great prints.

  24. Wow! I want to go to that Goodwill store! What great finds, and you've put them all together beautifully. How clever of you to use that shower curtain for a table covering. I love Susie's shells for sale sign. laurie

  25. Beautiful table! It has me longing for the beach. What great finds! You put everything together so beautifully.

  26. Wow, Aledia! You are the bargain hunter/finder extraordinaire!!!!!!! I'm really impressed with the price of the cool dishes and the big bag of shells! Since there are no oceans or seas in the Midwest, I'm left to either buying shells or collecting them when I visit the coasts. I alwyas make friends and family bring some back for me if they travel there, too. I have a good-sized collection now, but there's always room for more! For $3, though, you totally scored!!!!! And they're not those teensy weensy shells, either! Never, ever would have know the table topper was a shower curtain! How clever! The stemware looks great with everything, and the flatware was an A-1 choice! Have a great weekend!

  28. Since buying a place at the beach, I find myself drawn to all things nautical and your tablescape is wonderful. I cannot believe the bargains that you found. Love the shower curtain idea - I have used sheets in my blog, when I could not find the color tablecloth I wanted. Great job!!
