It's Even Better On Sale!!!

Is it just me of are more and more folks out there are tablescaping? In my recent travels, I have noticed so many more stores that have beautiful dishes, glassware, and tableware available. WalMart has really stepped up lately-at least the one closest to me. I have been planning Thanksgiving for approx. 25 people this year. I've been looking for things to compliment what I already have, so here's a few of my finds.
 

 

When I saw the votives at one of my favorite local haunts,"ElkRidge Gifts and Framing", I knew that a set must be mine. In fact, Marsha, the owner, said she had me in mind when she saw them at market. They are just gorgeous. You may not be able to tell, but they are amber in color, with leaves outlined in gold. I picked these up in July!
 

Now for my fabulous sale finds. Kohl's was my first stop. All of their fall linens were on sale for $9.99. Any size cloth or napkins-all $9.99. So, I picked up a couple of different sizes. The autumn chargers were on sale for $2.00 at WalMart. I'm using my Noritake stoneware that I've had for many years. The pattern is "Tawny". I picked up the napkins at Walmart, also the napkin rings and salt-n-peppers, all on sale. Using my BigLots goblets finishes the place setting. I'm trying a few different stlyes for Thanksgiving, this one is casual. I will be setting 4 tables, so each one will be different. I'll try to post pictures!

    Well, I wish Marsha at Elk Ridge Gift would have had ME in mind - because I love them. HA!

    The chargers are great. I was too late, so hope they carry them next year.

    I agree that more people are setting a pretty table these days. Maybe it has to do with the economy. More of us are eating in and want to make it special at home. I love your votive holders. Lovely table.

    I've noticed, too, that some stores seem to be stepping up their game in the dishes & linens! It's about time!!! I think it's great that Marsha knows your taste well enough to shop with you in mind! Very nice!

    Love the goblets.. they are really cool. I think more people are staying home so that more people are finding that they want to make home as nice as possible. lovely linens

    Oh my, $2.00 for those chargers...I hate to go to WalMart on a Sunday, but today, I might make an exception...wonder if they still have some left. Your tablescape is lovely...I really like the green tablecloth. Thank you for sharing your charming design. Cherry Kay
