Say Boo!

It's Treat time again at

" Between Naps On The Porch "

so be sure to get over and see

all the wonderful tablescapes

waiting for you there.

Remember no Tricks only Treats! Welcome to "Say Boo!"

Tonight we will be eating with the ghost.

The little ghost on the right of the screen

my youngest made while in Kindergarten,

she's seventeen now,

(yes I am a pack rat, I always knew I would

need it one day, Ha Ha). Now lets work our way around the table

and see what other things we can find.

A mean looking tea light, given to me by a friend

several years ago.

I see Casper has decided to join us for dinner!

I used branches from the yard, spray painted

black with a little Spanish moss for a little

drama.

Boo confetti.

Now onto our place setting.

The place mat is from TJ Maxx, I used a black

plate for my charger, I have had this set of

dishes for many years then a plain white plate

found at a garage sale for my salad plate and

my sandwich plate, I bought several years

ago, clearance sale for .50 each at Gabs.

The napkin rings and napkins were bought

at different times, at different store but match

perfectly.

A happy ghost with his friends.

My glasses are just my everyday tea glasses

with confetti glued on them and topped with

a dripping coat of sugar around the rim of

the glass.

I used school glue, which of course will wash

off very easily.

One last night look.

A daytime look.

I want to thank everyone for visiting and

please don't forget to visit all of today's

participants. Please feel free to leave a

comment, suggestion or question, I enjoy

hearing from everyone.

Bye For Now,

Fall Into The Wild Side

It's Thursday and that can only mean one thing

Tablescape Thursday hosted by Susan at

"Between Naps On The Porch"

So be sure to drop by and see all the beautiful

tablescapes you are sure to find there. Welcome to:

"Fall On The Wild Side"

A view from above

I guess this is not your typical Fall tablescape, but I

thought I might just give "Fall", a little twist. I have used orange candles in brass candlesticks a

small candlestick lamp with a leopard shade I made

several years ago. The vase covered in leopard is just

a run of the mill green vase that I covered in scraps of

leopard material. The vase along with the

small pumpkin are laying in a large wooden leaf.

As we work our way around the table, another small

pumpkin. I used branches from the yard and dried eucalyptus in the vase, letting it fall onto the table.

The table is covered with three table cloths.

A leopard print on the bottom, with a piece of dark

brown and light brown fabric crossing one another.

I incorporated the wine into the center piece, patiently

waiting in it's little bag.

We also have the coffee service waiting, for our after

dinner treat. I used the matching leopard cups placed

in a black tray with a black coffee server. The black

serving tray is from Hobby Lobby and the coffee server,

came from the thrift store.

I have mixed the place setting with leopard and

orange colors. The leopard dishes I bought

several years ago at Kirklands, The orange water

glass is from JC Penny, I have also had them for years.

The wine glasses are from TJ Maxx, Flatware from Value

City, the napkins are from the thrift store as well as the

chargers. So nothing on this table is designer or high

end, just FUN!

I used two napkins, just for fun and color.

Napkin ring is just a plain brass oval shape.

Small bowls came from my Mother.

I have the soup/salad bowl to match the plates under it.

The bread/salad plates are from JC Penny and were

bought at the same time as the water glasses.

Each wine glass has a wine charm depicting a different

little animal.

I used an amber cordial glass and matching spoon for

salt.

I hope you had fun tonight at my little unconventional

Fall dinner, and will visit again soon.

Please don't forget to leave a comment, suggestion or question.

I love hearing from everyone. Bye For Now,

Sandy

The Misfits

It's Monday and time for Metamorphosis Monday

hosted by Susan at Between Naps on The Porch

and for The Knock Off Knock Out party at

It's So Very Cheri.

Be sure to pay both our host and all of today's

participants a visit for some very

wonderful inspiration.

Welcome to the sad little story of the," Four Little Misfits".

My .50 lamp shade and .25 bag of white feathers were

laying on separate shelves at the thrift store. Sadly day

after day they kept thinking, why has no one taken us

home and put us together, we could look as good as

that designer lampshade in the magazine and we

wouldn't cost $30.00.

Across town waiting to be sold at the community yard

sale, a little out dated lamp sat wondering what her fate

would be. Will someone buy me, or will I be forced to be

stored away in a cold dark basement for another year?

I just know for, $1.00 someone could take me home and I

could be glamorous again!

I would look soooooo good in silver!!

And we still have another little misfit across town,

waiting in a box for someone, (me) to rescue it and

all his little friends. We are old, but very beautiful

with just a little "Wright's Silver Cream", we would

shine for you, (thanks Bill for the tip).

A $5.00 rescue was in order.

I had to take action!

So as the rescue continues. The feathers and shade are feeling proud, they look

as good as the designer shade in the magazine.

And the little lamp is standing tall again feeling proud

to be wearing her silver. She thinks she looks just as good as the lamp in the

Christmas Gift Shop.

And here they are standing tall, self esteem has been

regained, no longer Misfits.

I hope you enjoyed your visit.

I must go now and try to save more "Misfits".

Please don't forget to,

leave a comment, suggestion or question. I love

hearing from everyone.

Bye For Now,

Sandy
