Thrifty Tablescape

I found a small rag rug at BBB for 

the floor by the front of the sink.

But first it made it to the table.

It was only $2.99 (less 20%) 

and had great fall colors that would work 

with things I already had.

Why not use it as a runner first?

The battery candles were 20 cents.

The striped lampshades were 40 cents.

All thrift store finds.

I just tighten the bulb to turn on.

They give a nice soft glow at night. 

Gathered a few things to add.

I'm using very old small breadboards that 

(German brettchen)

had been used by my parents 

for as long as I can remember. 

They hold my sour cream dill bread 

and a small votive filled with herb butter 

and a sprig of rosemary.

apple red, cornflower blue and natural tan

Sometimes it just takes a few thrifty finds to 

get me started on a new look for the table.

The rest of this fall dinner menu is

Sesame Grilled Pork Chops 

with 

Brown Sugar Baked Acorn Squash

Cheers!
