WOW
A double post!
I hope you enjoy yourselves today.
Be sure to stop by
for more tablescapes
This week we are having a crawfish boil!
I want to show that you can have a beautiful setting
for any event
including something very casual
I used gingham toppers,
large white platters for food,
and metal buckets for bread.
I also want to show how you can use a bar in your kitchen
as opposed to your dining room table for an event.
I rolled paper cones filled with popcorn
and stuffed in a large basket to sit upright
each one with a tag that
read
Happy Birthday
The bright yellow contrasts with the red
perfectly!
The cake had to fit the theme
AND
No one leaves empty handed,
We had T shirts for everyone!
I am not normally a participant in Thrifty Thursday,
but my precious friend Leigh over at
really encouraged me to this week.
I shared with her two things
and she thought they were perfect
so here it goes!
Join more Thrifty Thursdays
I got this at Hobby Lobby
It was originally $12,99
in the Valentine's Day decor
I was there this week
and all of that merchandise
had been marked down,
and marked down.
It had a big sign that said
90% off.
I thought the price that was on it of
$4.99
was the new price.
It wasn't
Take ANOTHER
90% off.
That is right
$ 0.49
people!
I think it would be so cute hanging from a ribbon
spray paitned
The possibilities are endless and I really don't think it is limited to
Valentine's Day.
i'm thinking
"Kiss"
me I'm Irish
for St. Patrick's Day!
AND there is this
(please excuse the toddler teeth marks)
a paper coaster given to me on a gift
(from Miss Leigh)
I got some sheet magnet and cut it into a circle the same size
then I glued it to the back and voila
I have a monogram for the fridge!
Thanks for dropping by Y'all!

Looks like a great party...the cake is the BEST!!
Ooooooo...I love your party idea. Everything is so beautifully presented...I wish I were there to enjoy it...it looks perfect!

Love - love- love that gator cake!~
Love the bucket for the bread! The setting is wonderful!
We often use our breakfast bar/counter for entertaining. With a galley kitchen which is open at both ends, it's a natural buffet. Works well for us...
Love your thrifty find, too. $.49...that's a steal!!!!
Hugs,
Jane (artfully graced)
Everything looks so wonderfully presented, love the red and white, the food looks so delicious and doing it on the counter is genius, I'll be right over, love the whole setting....great job...Phyllis
LOVE that party! Hate I missed that one. I think that is one of my fav's! Love the popcorn! And yes..I need one of those t's! Way cool! Where did you order them from?
I LOVE the Thrifty Thursday! You can use the Kiss almost year round. It would be cute in your bedroom even! Remind Joe to kiss you goodnight. Smile. Though I doubt he needs the reminder.
And the magnet...I am so making some of those with the ones I have! Fabulous idea! You and I both with the "B's".
Thankyou for linking up to Thrifty Thursday this week! Great job!
HUGS!
