Gold Rim Glasses

I am surely an avid thrifter.  that means I visit thrift stores frequently and find many valuable and useful things with which I decorate my home and plan tablescapes..

Simple inspiration this week are these beautiful old gold rimmed glasses..

 

They are very delicate and I am in love ..very romantic..

Next I brought out these little stainless cups.... perfect for fruit or ice cream..

Then for the centerpiece, some creamy white gardenias and a large hurricane with a white candle......

 and this crystal decanter that still had the sticker on it from a jewelry store that went out of business

I used these square wooden plates for chargers.

and added square white plates with a paper doily in the middle.

Here you can see the textures together.  I like layers of texture on the table..

Every single thing on this table was found at a thrift store...with the exception of my wonderful DT crystal.....

I wanted to show how a life of being frugal and thrift store shopping can really be beneficial..it takes dedication and patience..and some work thrown in there too.  I have done this for more than 30 years..and have quite a large collection of tablewares that I have bought at thrift stores.. Most of my tables are filled with these treasures from my years of collecting.  Do you shop at thrift stores?  and do you ever find any really good treasures?  I am often surprised at some of the things people have given away...well, I appreciate them when I find them...but I have also learned to leave some of them on the shelves for someone else to take home with them....it took a long time to learn that one..LOL

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my totally thrifted table......  I really, really love it...it has such a warm and comfy feel to it...especially those pretty gold rim glasses..wink, wink
