A very small Spring tablescape


I was not going to do a tablescape for Spring this year, but
I finally had a little time to myself today and I thought, why not?

I did not want to spend any money on this, so I used 
what I had around the house.

Nothing spectacular, just a little inspiration so you can see
we can create pretty things with what we already have.






Instead of a tablecloth, I used a Spring table runner
I bought at Homegoods a long while ago. 
I borrowed it from the dresser in my bedroom! :)



The napkins I made myself from leftover material
from some pillows I have been making for my back porch.


 I layered them with some lace


 And tied them up with some blue and white ribbon



 The white plates, I bought after Christmas also at Homegoods for $1.00 each.
There was only four left, so they came home with me!


The small blue plates I purchased at Kirklands last month.
I also bought four of them.
I had a $15.00 coupon and they were $3.00 each, so they were really free.
I love the design!





 These water glasses I had for over twenty years.
I bought them when we were stationed overseas and I always like to use them for Easter because the design looks like little Easter eggs engraved on them.



For the center of the table, I used  a topiary I bought months ago and 
my favorite crystal basket with my old blue birds.





As you can see, nothing fancy, but I cooked a nice dinner and we will sit down and 
enjoy it as soon as my family gets home.

I hope you guys have a wonderful weekend. 
We have a couple of projects to finish, but, otherwise, we just plan to enjoy the nice 
80 degree weather we are having.
Thank you all for visiting!

  5. Very pretty! Great job using what you had on hand to create such an inviting table for your family to come home to.

    I think the best finds happen when you're not looking. I was at HomeGoods and Kirklands last weekend hoping to find deals on plates - struck out. Of course, I DID find a few nice things! Have a great weekend!
