‘Old Friends’ and a Tip

This morning, in playing with my dishes, I brought out some old ‘friends’, and as a result, things you have seen before.

That makes sense, right?

I just arranged them differently.

My inspiration was a tapestry drapery panel I bought years ago at Dollar General.

That is my tip by the way.

I try to always look at packaged curtain and drapery panels at discount stores (the only place I really shop), because I love using them everywhere but at the window.

Just make sure it is the 81” panel.

I actually started with a burgundy tablecloth to use with my black and white transfer ware, but I thought it looked a little Christmasy.

 

The black chargers with the bronze border are ceramic and were 90% off at Hobby Lobby two years ago.

Is that even a price?

They are heavy.

I added my King’s Crown goblets- which I have always called cranberry glass- and then, for a twist, I used dull green napkins.

I feel like I need to say,

“You had to be there”,

because of all of these colors.

My photography today doesn’t really show that it did work.

Have a wonderful weekend.

My trip to Round Top this weekend had to be changed.

I am headed to Dallas to help Daughter #3 move from an apartment into a duplex early next week and my own work duties call.

You should see the pile of stuff I am taking to Dallas.

I wonder if I will get to bring back some of my things that have been on loan?

Hmmm.

I am linking to these wonderful parties.  These ladies provide us all with a fun way to share our inspiration and our home.
