Tablescape Thursday

I love to decorate our dinner table—every season a different look, a different feel, but I also keep it pretty every day. It's such a joy to come into the house after a busy day and see the table looking nice, ready for our evening meal. The simplest meal takes on the feeling of a festive occasion if the table is nicely set, right down to a centerpiece. Think this is rather an expensive proposition? Not in the least when the things you gather are items from around the house... and in many instances cheap everyday gorgeous thrift store treasures.... like some of what you see here!



Don't forget to visit Susan at Between naps on the porch for more lovely tables.

    What a beautiful tablescape. I love the clear pink glasses and bowls. My Mom once told me not to save the good dishes only for company, but to use them for just ourselves too. I agree that pretty dishes can make a simple meal feel special.
