Also just a reminder this friday is the fun day to show off all our Cloche's at Marty's " A Stroll thru Life" So lets get those Cloche's out and join in this fun day...Please go see Marty for all the Information...I know she would love to see you all!!
Since our weather has been so nice here on my mountain top...its always so fun for me to sit outside and eat...So today I thought I would show you what I did with a few of my Hospice thrift store finds from May....If you are new here and didn't see them all Please click here to see all the great things I get each month...I ♥ this store and every thing it stands for...
The Crystal Stem ware I got for a wedding present in 1969 many moons ago...Can't remember the pattern.... But its kinda like my wedding veil after all these years it still fits ha ha!!
This center piece I made from an Old ceiling light fixture also from Hospice....
Put a few candles in my Old bird cage so we could have a candle light dinner ha ha!! Also its very dark up here at night as we have no street lights...
I tried to add roses here and there....All napkins I got from Country Living where I use to work...Love the fact they are 2 sided....Napkin Ring from Hospice...got 4 of them for $1.00....
Flat ware from WallyWorld last year...I have really gotten my money worth from this....
Now this is Reindeer Moss that grows up here on my Pine tree's I just love this stuff I use it for many decorating projects here...its great for wreaths, under Cloche's on the fire place Mantle at Christmas time etc....Best part is its FREE !!!
Now here is what this electrial fixture looked like when I got it...It was only $2.25 because it was the end of the month where every thing is half off at Hospice...
I thought it looked kinda like a little Greenhouse...Just knew I could make something pretty out of it...I just love to find things and think outside the box with them...
You can see the wiring here...Added a clay flower pot for a candle some of my moss and cut some roses....
So what do you think girls...is it not pretty...I love that it matched my Iron table and chairs....
Love these napkin Rings I also found at Hospice....8 for $1.50
Now these are my LILY plates I found in May at Hospice....I paid a $1.00 apiece for these got eight of them also got the bowls to match....Just knew when I found them they would love pretty in a Tablescapes....
These are my Dinner plates I got from Ross last Year...$3.99 each...I also have used these a few times for TT as I can add so many colors with them...just love the dainty little flowers on them...
Rose bud Salt and Pepper...again another find for the month of May...
This Dresser scarf my Mama made years ago...she use to love to do any kind of needle work...Love the little lace she crochet around the edge...I was very Lucky being the only girl I got all this Beautiful stuff when My Mama died...
Isn't it beautiful with its basket of flowers
Hope you all enjoyed having dinner with me on my Mountain top...I sure love to have company...

Your tablescape is beautiful but that lighting fixture turned upside down is absolutely amazing! Never in a million years would I have looked at that in the store and thought "tablescape centerpiece." You are a creative genius, Gloria!
This is just beautiful Gloria. I love the dresser scarf that your mom made, I was hoping to get a better look at it. Just lovely work. And that centerpiece you made is just fantastic. What a great way to repurpose that light fixture. Do you ever leave that porch? I don't think I would lol. Hugs, Kathy
So pretty! I love your centerpiece - it is so creative. What bargains you got!!! :D Jewel
your table set is gorgeous, the tablescape is gorgeous, the linens you used, the napkins, i love it all! absolutely gorgeous. i could sit at that table drinking tea all day long :)
Now Gloria if you are not just about the smartest person on this planet. I would have looked at that light fixture and walked right on by and it is just stunning the way you've used it and so pretty with your table and chairs. Just ingenius. I love those pretty finds from the Hospice store. You do always find the best things. The tablescarf your mom made is such a precious keepsake. I really love our table and thanks again for mentioning the "Cloche Party". I can't wait to see what you bring to the party. Hugs, Marty

I'm in love with your table and chairs!

Your tablescape is just beautiful! I love how you think outside of the box. I can't seem to do that. I love, love, love the centerpiece made out of the lighting fixture. And you are so lucky to have reindeer moss growing all around you. I love your table & chairs as well. And lucky you on the wonderful things you inherited from your mom.
DEAR GLORIA,
What a beautiful tablescape.
I am in awe of your light fixture redo.....I will always look at light fixtures a little closer in the future.....yours is just awesome and beautiful.
I love your napkins...just every thing....I would expect to see ladies in beautiful hats and white lacey gloves at this luncheon.

Good Morning Gloria~
This is a beautiful tablescape. The centerpiece is my very favorite....so creative. I wonder how many light fixtures I've passed up and missed out on. Filling it with roses and a candle was ingenious. Love the creamy plates, too. Fabulous deal!
Have a great day dear friend!
Big hugs~ J
Gloria everything is so beautiful but that centerpiece made from an old light is brilliant! I love the dresser scarf your mom made. Such a beautiful way to display it rather than leaving in the bedroom. Your tableware is gorgeous too. I love it all! Your talent for putting things together inspires me! Have a beautiful day my friend! Hugs, Loretta
Hi Gloria, what a delicate and graceful table. I love the softness of it. Those napkins are to die for! I adore the table and chairs....everything is downright gorgeous!!

I love every little detail and those double sided napkins..ohhhhh I wrote myself a not by the computer about those...I may just have to open the closet and try to 'sew' me some of those...that is just such a beautiful detail!
I love how you 'think' outside the box and use things ofr other than they were intended...and ohhhh I just felt that your sweet mama had made that glorious embroidery scarf...oh girl...I can just feel the love in this sweet tablescape...now tell us what's on the menu and do we have to leave a tip! lol
Oh...wait!!!!! When on earth did you have a give away for IRONSTONE and what planet was I on when it happened!!!!! Ohhhh just shoot me now!!!! I can't believe I missed that...that's it...I'm sending you some money and letting you buy me some of that gorgeous ironstone at those great hiding places you have to shop at up there!

Gloria I love this table setting so much! Those lily plates and the white plates are fabulous! And the light fixture, pure genius! I have a hard time seeing things and repurposing them, you are so good at that! The table and chairs are gorgeous too.

I love all of your Hospice finds. Very innovative to create that cute centerpiece out of that light fixture. I love your floral plates - both sets, and your cute napkins and rings! You really got the touch, Gloria! ~ Robyn
wow - so beautiful and i love the lights outside. they make everything so festive.
this is my first tablescape thursday and i am enjoying it so much!
xo
Love the centerpiece. Very creative!
Hi Gloria, I was in the midst of typing a long ole comment about your beautiful tablescape, light fixture & gorgeous iron table & chairs when the internet died last night. You've found some gorgeous treasures my friend! ☺ Diane
Ohhhh Darlin'...your Rose Garden tablescape is simply divine!!! I took a look at that very first photo and I wished that you could have heard my Ooohs and Aaahs!!! Girl, not only is your tablescape gorgeous but all of your photos are spectacular!!! What a lovely setting to dine in...your Rose Garden patio is soooo pretty and I just love, love, LOVE that fabulous iron table and chairs!!! I was really looking at the pattern...I think it's the prettiest one that I've seen! Where did you find it? Anyway...hehe, back to the tablescape! I really don't know where to start...each and every little detail is so perfect! I just love your old light fixture turned greenhouse/candleholder/centerpiece!!! Hehe...say that fast 3 times! But really it's just a great piece and so versatile...you did GOOD with that one, Sis!!! The reindeer moss and roses just make it!!! Now Darlin'...I just fell in love with your pretty pink lily plates when I seen them the other day...I just knew they'd make for a fabulous place setting!!! And could your mama's embroidered dresser scarf be any more perfect??? I think not...the pink embroidered flowers look like the pink lily plates...stunning!!! Now as stunning all of this is...I have to tell you that the very first thing to catch my eye were those sweet, sweet napkins!!! Oooohhh...love those! Love that they have a different but coordinated fabric on each side...they're soooo pretty, Sis!!! Now I want to sew me some like it...whew...I have so many projects that I would like to do! But these are so pretty and they'd be easy enough to make!!!
Well Darlin'...I'm so glad that you let me know about your tablescape...I've been so busy and I'm sure glad that I didn't miss out on seeing it!!! You have a big "high five" from me on this beauty!!! I love it!!!
Love ya Sis,
Chari
PS...you know what I just thought...to bad that we aren't going to be in Texas at the same time...I would have made a trip through Dallas to see you!!! I'm pouting, Girlfriend!!!
I just love your centerpiece! Just love it!!! What a great idea! I got to have one. Hubby always taking down lights for people, I hope he has taken off yet, I wait to hit his pile now! lol love the cloth and napkins. I adore your table set. All my outdoor furniture got crushed by trees. Adding back old pieces from family and friends. No table yet. lol Going to wait for a sale. Sorry I have not visited, got down for last few weeks with an infection, trying to get better. Got more meds today and got to have more visits with several Docs, one day a week for the next month. love your setting!
I am back, showed hubby your light centerpiece. He has nothing he says! Oh! Well maybe another day! lol
Now this was truly a "mountain top experience" for me! I think this is absolutely gorgeous - everything - love it! Love the transition of the light fixture!
Katherine
Who would have thought to make a centerpiece from an old light fixture! You, that's who! That is another brilliant idea! Your reindeer moss is wonderful. Hmmm, I'm wondering if I could grow it some place! Those lilly plates are beautiful! This would have been a perfect post if I had won the prize! No, it really was perfect! laurie
