Tabletop Tuesday

Just pulled a few items out of the closet to make up the most recent Mantle decor.


3 Of the ceiling tiles out of the old bank that my DH crawled up and pulled down.

My new candelabra that DH recently painted white for me.

A few books with the paper covers removed.

A rose topiary that I've had for awhile.

A garden statue of an adorable child.

And a pretty flowered runner with roses on it. Looks good to me!

Tabletop Tuesday some thrifty finds!

I love the 3 tiered server. It's pressed aluminum. I paid $11.00 for it - half price. Then I found the one thing I've looked for - a candelabra. Half price - $24.00. Yipee!

My DH thinks I've totally lost my mind, but I'm painting it. I don't like the brass, it doesn't go with anything I have. I have to have it painted - white. Or, maybe black. Hmmmm......

I had fun at the sale, and hope it's still going on the next trip back! I'm joining tabletop tuesday at the below link:

Tabletop Tuesday with birds and Maude

This is my "valentine", "Winter", whatever, buffet in our eat-in kitchen area. I love to

add holiday decor in this area, and of course "Maude" is always dressed in her best apron to match.

I'm loving the vintage tablecloth, and how it has red and pink roses, as well as the grey, same as Maudes apron.

The runner is red and green plaid, which are more Christmas, but the sparklish birds, and

tree branch seem kinda winterish to me. I had to have the gold glittered tree limb when I saw it, it was $12.00.

I found the birds on Christmas Closeout, for $1.00 each.

Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment! Please join me as I use this post for Tabletop Tuesday and Pink Saturday this week. I'm getting lazy! The links are below:

Tabletop Tuesday

I'm not satisfied with my mantle this Christmas, but have been too busy to do any more. I know I need something tall, of course a larger picture or even a mirror. Maybe next year.....

Tabletop Tuesday

This is the buffet arrangement I had over the holiday. The picture is a photo I took of the back of a sunflower, had it printed in sepia. It's awesome. I set the deserts on the top of the buffet, the arrangement was in the middle, turned out great! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment! the below link is where you will find me!

Tabletop Tuesday from Curious Sofa

In case you missed my post on the fun time I had in Kansas City a couple of weeks ago, I'm offering an edited view here. We had so much fun, and I took home many ideas.

I wanted to show you again, some things I found at Curious Sofa in Prairie Village, Kansas. They have a blog, so hook up to their link here: http://curioussofa.blogspot.com/ I think of them everyday, when I look around at my decor at home. Thanks Curious Sofa for your inspiration!

Also thanks to the host of Tablescape Tuesday, who can be found at the link here:

Tabletop Tuesday

Time to dress my mantle for Halloween! I used a scrap piece of black velvet - that I left tattered and uneven.

Another of the ceramics that we made when we lived next to a ceramic shop. There's a huge stuffed spider on the lamp.

The mirror was a dollar, and DH painted it black for me. I got the webbing at the Dollar General store.

The rat came from Curious Sofa last weeken, and the candy dish was closeout Halloween 2 years ago. More closeouts for the pumpkins, my newest bargain is the single cupcake holder, and a skeleton candle.

I am enjoying having a mantle to decorate, so here's what I came up with for fall! Beaded pumpkins, a fall arrangement that I used a couple of weeks ago in my fall tablescape, and a fall photo that I got last spring on Junk Day in town. It was laying on the curb. Ha! How 's that for cheap? I mean inexpensive.......ok - cheap. Ha! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, be sure and check out the other tabletop ideas! Click on the below address to see more.
