Coffee or Tea? Tablescape

This setting all started with the toile table topper. I found this beautiful fabric at a yard sale still wrapped around the bolt, there was no price on it so when I asked the lady how much she wanted for it she said $2.00, and I said SOLD!!

I pulled out my creamy lace napkins and decided I wanted to use the pretty little gold teapot napkin rings and incorporate my gold flatware and chargers to add some richness.  


These pretty little pastry candles were purchased at the Dollar Tree.

I absolutely LOVE these pretty tea sets that I found at the Goodwill. Here at our local Goodwill store any kitchen item that is not marked with a price tag is .50----yep! you know where I am going with that statement, these beauties were not marked so I got them all for $4.00!!! I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't just dreaming!







My beautiful tea sets!

  30. Hi Aledia,
    you created a wonderful table. The toile and the Johnsons Transferware matches perfect. Even the cute tea spoons have the right pattern. But to combine that with gold is ingenious. Thank you for sharing your beautiful table.
    Best greetings, Johanna

  43. Beautiful table, Aledia. I love the toile...you are getting some great deals lately. Isn't it so much fun going to the thrift store and coming home with lots of treasures for almost nothing...I very seldom do any retail shopping anymore...hate to pay full price for anything.

  44. Just going back to see some stuff I missed while I was out of town - I think that piece of fabric was just waiting for the right person to come a long!! It is perfect for your Tea Cups - so which came first - the dishes or the table cloth? Either way - you won - best treasure hunter!!
