Our Hostess for Tablescape Thursday today is Susan @ Between Naps on the Porch
When I entertain for large groups I love to have" stations"
Cake station
Panini Station
Drink station
This is something that excited me beyond words! I entertain a lot, so I am always looking for something beautiful and functional. This particular quest has been YEARS in the making. I thought I had always wanted a glass hexagon shaped drink dispenser. You know like this
From Sur la Table ( one of my favorite catalogs)
But something always held me back.
But then by chance, I found this

I adore it and way more than the other!
I love the finish and I love the solid brass spigot
It holds 2 gallons
the other one holds 3 gallons.
plastic spigot
That one $ 70.00 (without stand) add another $18.00 for the stand
Now here is the best part
mine under $10.00!!
reasonably priced to begin with and totally worth it.
But then mispriced!
The lady said she had to give it to me at that price. I was so lucky!
So I truly feel I had an awesome Thrifty Thursday!
Good things come to those who wait!

Your tablescape is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThere is a glass drink dispenser at Hobby Lobby that I am in love with. We DONT entertain much at all however and it would be a waste of space and money. But I look at it everytime I am in there.
You are one lucky girl on the drink dispenser!! I love the "station" idea. I think it helps with serving a large crowd much better than a buffet!
ReplyDeleteI was once at a youth convention. One of the exhibitors kept a glass hexagon drink dispenser JUST LIKE THAT ONE with iced lemon water. It was the MOST popular of all the exhibits - - - everyone lined up to get that icy refreshing drink of water!!!
ReplyDeleteI know you'll love your drink dispenser! I have the octagonal one - but not the stand -- I need to find one of those!
ReplyDeleteYour food looks delish!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your drink turine! I think those are so beautiful. My mom has one of these that she uses every holiday or event she host, I swear that drinks taste better in it. Its so pretty!!! You got a great deal!!!!! That is awesome!!!! Love it!
That is so cool! It is lovely and I love the idea of stations when you entertain. During the big holidays, I always have a dessert table.
ReplyDeleteLovely cake station, btw!

Oh My Stars! You got such a great deal on your drink dispenser!...and it is adorable. I love your entertaining stations...perfect to accomodate a large group so there is no congestion in one area. You are a perfect party planner!
ReplyDeleteSmiles,

I would park my butt at the Panini station right next to the drinks. It all looks great.
ReplyDeleteHappy TT
Love Claudie

I like to use the stations idea too. Kind of keeps people circulating. What a great deal on the drink jar. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI think it's wonderful all the attention and love you obviously put into getting everything ready for your guests and family. Looks great.
ReplyDeleteHappy Twirls,

I like the idea of stations! Everything looks great! Your dispenser is really pretty, I've never seen one like it!
ReplyDeleteHello, What a great idea your stations are all so pretty and I love your drink dispencer for a large crowd, Happy TT, Kathy.
ReplyDeleteThose are some AMAZING finds! Beautiful. I really like your idea of stations and your set-ups are lovely! = )
ReplyDeleteYour table scape is beautiful. That cake looks like it might be as good as it looks.
ReplyDeleteYour drink dispenser was such a bargain, I'll be you're glad you waited. It's lovely.
I like that you have different stations. That way everyone isn't bunching up in the same place. And great thrifty find!!!
ReplyDeleteMay I line up at the dessert station? Looks mighty good!
ReplyDeleteAn amazing bargain for the drinks container. Lucky you!

How great that they honored it! I've picked up a few things over the years that are mismarked...you have to be ready to walk away too. But I LOVE that drink dispenser.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love your bargain! I've been looking at one similar at my Hobby Lobby! I agree with you, when I entertain large groups, "stations" are the trick. It helps with traffic flow and everyone isn't waiting behind each other. Great post! May you have a Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas...love the stations. A quick blogging question...How did you get the neat font on your blog? I'm tired of those few choices in blogger. You can visit my blog and answer if you would...season-to-season.blogspot.com. Thanks, Peggy from PA
ReplyDeleteYou lucky girl! Love your new dispenser! Love all the different stations...I do that, too, at parties. :-) I noticed all your wonderfully monogrammed pieces, too...perfect! So much fun...feels like I'm there at the party. :-) Susan
