Another "Thrifty" Tablescape

I couldn't help myself. After telling my husband, "No blogging today; I have too much to do," I started looking at all the delightful Tablescapes and Thrift finds. . .

. . . and here I am, with a late to the gate entry.

(At the end, there are links to more Tablescapes and Thrifty Thursday stories. Don't miss them!)

We love house guests here at That Old House.

Breakfast is at the old oak table in the sunroom.

It's a simple meal.
(Hey, if you want crepes, go find The Pierres!)

Welcome to breakfast at That Old House!
(We hope you slept well.)

Howard picks up some scrumptious pastries, fresh from the local bakery.

I pour you some juice in old Czech crystal brandy snifters,
and ask if you like coffee (we brew it strong) or tea.

A little Tunstall pitcher holds the cream. (Ebay!)


A white porcelain cake stand that Howard bought for his
mother with paper-route money holds the pastries.


Come and sit; no flowers, no candles, but the table is all set ...

Set with my newest thrift shop find!

Last week, I shared my Aynsley China thrift shop tablescape;

I found this sweet little set at the same time.



6 luncheon plates, and 6 cup-and-saucer sets, all in perfect condition.
18 pieces for less than a dollar apiece.
Sold!

I really like this old fashioned pattern, and it's smoky blue and rust red scheme.

It is "China Garden" by Imperial China.
I remember it, or a remarkably similar pattern, from years ago.

Well, what are you waiting for? Pull up a chair and sit.

What? Oh.
Howard's not back yet with the pastries.

Ummm... how about a bowl of Cap'n Crunch?
