Today I popped in at a different Tuesday Morning location and found similar plates with a pineapple design on them marked down to $1.99 each! Had they not been the exact same color, I would have snapped them up. There was a cute pineapple shaped serving bowl and gravy boat to match them and it was all on sale. The floral arrangement was purchased a couple of years ago at the Canton, Mississippi craft fair. It was a splurge and I passed and admired it several times before I convinced myself to buy it and I'm so very glad I did......
The glass serving platter was a freebie from a garage sale my friend and I arrived late to and everything was marked FREE! To be totally honest, I'm not sure if it's a cake plate or a serving platter. It's got an unusual curve to it. What do ya think?
You can see my collection of Colclough china in the cabinet behind the table. I'm going to do a tablescape with it soon. I've been collecting dessert plates and cup and saucers for about 10 years now. The china cabinet belonged to my mother. My older sister was using it in her house and when she moved to a smaller place, my mother offered it to me. I hope you enjoyed my Tablescape Thursday post.

Very nice tablescape. Love your new salad plates and your arrangement is beautiful. I've just posted my first tablescape this week and found it to be lots of fun.

ReplyDeleteLovely table. The ribbon edge on the white plates is very pretty. I'm in the market for white plates would you share what brand they are? Gotta love Tuesday Morning!

Hi Terri,
ReplyDeleteI really like the salad plates! They look great with the arrangement ... aren't you glad you splurged? Sometimes we just have to go for it, don't we? And you can't beat FREE for the glass plate/platter (it's pretty, whatever it is!).
Thank you for the nice comment on the Christmas in July tablescape. I'm not in the design field, but I'm a "Sunday painter" although I haven't done a painting in quite a while. I guess art is art ... whether it's painting, gardening, retail display, or tablescaping.
Hope your weekend goes well!
Bill
The centerpiece is so interesting...nice Free platter!
ReplyDeleteLovely tablescape and how lucky were you to arrive when the price tag said free, now that is thrifting!
