Thrifty Easter

I've been scheming . and planning. and preparing.

Easter comes sorta early this year and I wanted to get a head start on what I think might bring together a beautiful table. For starters, of course: linens.

I recently found a table runner and some coordinating napkins, thinking these are the ones!

I found these adorable rabbit place card holders at Hobby Lobby, further inspiring a Easter table, nothing says Spring like a bunny! With the addition of lavender, I was on the hunt for some plates that I could use to finalize the look.

I stopped by one of my regular stomping grounds (today, Sunday) because this thrift store has amazing deals on Sundays. 25 cents can go a long way on Sundays!

Wouldn't you know it...4 little plates in the most perfect shade of lavender immediately grabbed my attention and I couldn't believe my luck! It must be because it's so close to St. Patrick's Day. :)

(4 Lavender plates: $1.00, I told you Sundays were good!)

I also spied a hobnail goblet. With milk glass; it's a given that it automatically comes home with me. It's just how it is.

( Vase: .99 cents)

A silver tray looked appealing to me, not that I don't have silver trays, but this one had feet! It was pretty nasty, but I thought I'd splurge and bring her home with me.

(Tray: 4.00 Ouch!)

With a little silver cream and some elbow grease

She was shining!
She was sparkling!

She was fantastic!

Look how festive!





Hello Spring!
Don't worry, I'm going to show you how to make the crocheted baskets very soon!


I think I like it!
