A Tablescape with Thrifty Goodwill Dishes

I'm back home after having been in TN for a couple weeks helping my parents recuperate from being in the hospital.
This tablescape was done today and was very last minute. Very simple today ladies.....


 
Goodwill teapot $3.00

This gorgeous little dish came from Karen at Briarside Lane. She sent it to me 
for being her 100th follower!! What a sweetie she is and I just love the dish!!
THANK YOU Karen!! Stop by Briarside Lane and pay Karen a visit, I'm sure
she would be delighted to have you! 



These beautiful dishes are from Goodwill and were $8 for the entire set!!
They are Imperial China "Just Spring"




Vintage Sears tablecloth was purchased at Goodwill for $2. It was new in the package!
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful week!

  8. Very nice tea table. I'm impressed with the quality of things you gals in the US find at Goodwill. After seeing neat things on blogs, I went to ours and there was nothing but junk.
    Thanks for sharing your newfound tea things.

  9. Hi Aledia! Hope your parents are doing much better and will continue to improve every day.

    Gosh! I would love to go shopping with YOU! You really can find the bargains! I am so glad you liked the little nut dish. See? It is useful for many things. I need to take some pics of my latest finds... so little time and so much to sew!

    Take care, and have a wonderful week as well... Karen

  15. Hey there, Miss Aledia! Pretty dishes!!! You got a really great deal on them! You are really quite adept at thrift shopping! I've got to get on top of my game. I saw some Goodwill stores the other day near the "rich part" of the next county over, and I'm thinking that maybe I need to hit those! CUTE teapot!
