A Thifty Tablescape Thursday I'll Name "Emilie"

I've named my tablescape "Emilie" this week after my DD#2. When she and her husband Curtis bought their new home a few years back, they decorated with Navy and Yellow, a combination I would have never done, but have come to really like. That's what I've got this week, Navy and Yellow. Enjoy, and thanks to Susan at Between Naps On The Porch for hosting us again this week. She's at http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/ Also to Leigh at Thrifty Thursday and she can be found at http://lbratina.blogspot.com.

Bowls: $1.00 each at Dollar General
Napkins: $.25 each at the Thrift Store
Tablecloths: Cheap at auctions
Flowers: Free in the road side ditches
