Turquoise Breeze

~Turquoise Breeze Tablescape~

Everyday Flatware from Walmart, Silky Napkins were a gift from my Mom

Napkin Rings were a Goodwill purchase. I paid .99 for them and by looking at the store sticker they are definitely a older K-mart item originally $3.99



My sweet Bird Bowl was another Thrift Store find in Jacksonville, Ar and it was only $4.00.
It is by: Creative Co-Op



The lovely fruit was purchased at a Peddlers Mall in Morehead, Ky and was $3.99. I have had them for about a year now.

My tea light lamp was another Goodwill purchase and it was $2.99. I  have had this little beauty for several years now.

Tablecloth is a full size flat sheet! 

This beautiful set of dishes that included Plates, Saucers and Teacups were purchased at a Flea Market in Flemingsburg, Ky and you will never believe the price that I paid for these..... $4.00 for the whole set!!! They were on a clearance table in a back room and as soon as I spotted them they were mine! The bottom of the plates say....Colonial Taylor Smith & Taylor Platinum Blue.

The plates with the floral design were purchased at Goodwill for .50 each and they are metal!
They are originally from Target, I love how well they match with the other dishes
.


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

  6. I love your soft aqua table and what great deals you got. I find new napkin rings at GW all the time too. I guess people buy them and then never use them. Lucky for us. Those metal plates look so pretty with the set you "stole"! The sheet as a tablecloth was another great idea. Thanks for sharing.

  31. I love you dishes. What a deal! Taylor-Smith-Taylor is a very collectable manufacturer that produced many patterns during the 1950s. They are lovely. I the use of the sheet was genius. I use solid color sheet under my lace clothes.
    I loved your profile. We are blessed to know our Jesus as our personal Savior.
