| A very simple glass candlelight centerpiece is all that's needed for this evening dinner tablescape. To tie in the color of the green on the plates I added some long beaded stems and shaped them around the glass. |
 |
| I just love my beautiful stemware that I received as a Hostess Gift from Princess House years ago. I hosted a party for a friend and was able to get the stemware for FREE. (Tip) Having a home show/party is a great way to get some of your favorite items for little to no cost. |

| The beautiful Sango plates with the ever so lovely Lily pattern was a terrific Goodwill find. All they had were the plates and saucers BUT they were .50 each!! ~~LOVE~~ I also like the square shape of the plates with the rounded edges. Sometimes it's nice to have something different from the everyday circle plate shape. |
 |
| These gorgeous black wavy square plates were FREE!! I got them from a lady on Freecycle. For those of you that have never heard of Freecycle it is a yahoo group that allows people to post items that they want to give away for FREE only. It started out being a way for people to pass along good usable items to keep them going to the landfill. I have seen all sorts of things listed on there, and of course I give away items as well to return the favor. And, it's all FREE! |
 |
| The circle plate that I am using as a charger was a Flea Market find and they were on a clearance table for .60 each. They worked out perfectly for this setting. |
 |
| My tablecloth is nothing more than a $5.00 sheer curtain from the Family Dollar Store.
