Quite some time ago I found a couple of green placemats that had little bees on them. I was hoping to find two more, but no such luck. With only three colors to work with, I have kept the table very, very simple. Everything on the table is either from the thrift store, yard sale or a gift!.
I added a black dinner plate and a gold salad/soup bowl.
The glassware is an amber goblet for lemonade/iced tea and a smaller green for the wine. The amber ones were found Monday at Goodwill for almost nothing, even before the 25% senior discount. The green ones, also from a thrift store, have been used here several times.
The flatware is mismatched silverplate.
Cabbage tureen.
Tandy the rooster has found his way onto another table...
Flowers from the yard, brown-eyed Susan, orange ditch lily, pink and white cone flowers, coral bells, gooseneck loosestrife and vinca. There has been so much wind and rain here, only the toughest flowers have survived.

I love thrifting and many of my dishes come via the same way :) Your tablescape is gorgeous as usual and I really love the bee placemats. Too bad you couldn't find two more. I look forward to seeing your tablescapes each week.
Mimi, you and I do love to do our tablescapes in our gorgeous thrift finds! And you got some awesome deals! The table looks wonderful and those bee placemats are so cute!
Great deals! The place mats are so cute! I have never seen any like that! Sweet table!
The cabbage tureen...I just LOVE it!
A whole table setting for probably less than $10....sweet deal! That's my thrifty/frugal/cheap sister!! JK

What a very cute tablescape! I am so impressed with the low cost of all you items. I love thrifting and yard sales! Where else could you put together such a charming and unique table! Wonderful!
I love it!
Great job, the placemats are so cute and your arrangement is just gorgeous!
A great thrifty table Mimi!

Oh Mimi, I like these thrifty items. They are so retro cool.
This is so sweet and takes me back to the 70s! Great job on all the thrifting and arranging, and I do love the color of those plates.
Love the cabbage tureen!

Just precious. Perfectly summer, perfectly darling.
Great job Mimi! I love those placemats and the amber glasses. I used to have that same rooster but his poor head broke off...a few times actually! I glued it back until it broke into too many pieces and was beyond repair.
Love those placemats! What a darling tablescape and thrifty finds.
Well you got some great deals! I love the cabbage tureen!

Love those bee placemats and the green glasses. Very pretty table. Love the use of vintage silverware.
Mimi, Love your placemats. They are so cute. Beautiful table as usual.
Now you can't beat that price! I really love the place mats...seems bee items are not the easiest find...I was looking last year and could find only a few things. Your table looks great.
Those placemats are wonderful! You did a great job showing them off with your incredible thrift store finds. Love that glassware!
Such cute placemats -- I have a bee thing myself. Love your mix and match and those flowers are my favorite wildflower. nice job.
Buzzing over to say I like your cute little bee placemats. You really did some smart shopping to put this all together. I will buzz in again:-)

I really like how you pulled everything together on this table. It all looks wonderful together.
Wow, you really hit the jackpot with all of your thrifty finds! Love that amber glass. Thanks for sharing!
I would love to be able to find great thrift finds like yours. I love the bee placemats. They are just too cute for words..
hugs ~lynne~
What a great shopper you are! Your table is simply charming. The bee placemats really set the tone :0)
Amazing what you can do with thrift items!
I love the bee placemats. I am doing an upcoming bee tablescape!What a warm and welcoming tablescape. It feels like home!
Yvonne
You did a great job thrifting on that table. Wonderful finds. Love the placemats and the goblets. Very cute.
Sherry
I love those placemats. How cute. What a great idea to do a tablescape with all thrifted items. You did a beautiful job. Love it.
Hugs
Joanne
P.S. That rooster is so sweet.
I think I must walk around with my eyes shut - I never see all the cute things everyone finds when thrifting!!
Great work,
Suzyq
Cute placemats and I love the amber goblet, I just picked up a milk glass one myself!
What a bargain~ I love the bee placemats :-)
Mimi, those are pretty finds. I love the yellow-black combination of plates. And the bee placemats are very nice and also I love your stemware. Your garden flowers look so gorgeous, you must have a big garden.
Gretings, Johanna
I love your bee themed tablescape, Mimi! So cute! And you know I love that it is all thrifting finds! Great job!...hugs...Debbie
What pretty combinations and so economically assembled. You should be so pleased.
I love your completely thrifted tablescape! Those bee placemats would love to live at my home! Joni
I love how you put this all together. The placemats are sooo cute. Great job!
Great thrifty finds! Your table is warm and inviting. Thanks for sharing and have a great day!
For someone in the middle of nowhere, you have a way of finding the most wonderful things and using them well. Keep it up!
such cute details and good deals. love those bee placemats!
Congratulations on creating such a wonderful setting using only thrifted items! I do love mismatched silverplate. It's interesting that you and I both took that approach to flatware for our tables this week, and we both used gooseneck loosestrife. Thank you for telling me what it was in your comment. I'm most grateful!
What a cute setting with the bees. Everything looks great! and what deals you find girl!!!
Debbie@houseatthelake
Tandy the Rooster is my favorite!! great table and great thrifting!

Happy Table Scape Thursday!

Very cute! I love how you worked off of the bee placemats to create this setting! I love your choices, but I am shocked about those amber goblets.. Wow! That was a major deal! I gotta get to GW more often! Thanks for your visit to me and your sweet comments too!
Very pretty, Mimi, another very pretty table :)
Pretty tablescape, Mimi. I love the amber goblets, what a great deal!....Christine
I haven't started thrifting yet. My thrifting has been Home Goods/TJ Maxx. You are inspiring. I will have to start. Love that you showed the price tags and the receipt. Proof!
You've really gotten some thrifty finds - my kind of prices. Those bee placemats are so cute - I've been into the bees, dragonflies, and butterflies lately. I like the way you paired mixed matched flatware, like the hotels do. Who needs to pay an arm and a leg to buy mixed matched flatware service?
Hi Mimi, The cabbage tureen is lovely. I like the black and gold in the plate and bowl - it matches the bee (as well as being Iowa Hawkeye colors!). Cute placemats too. Very nice table, Mimi!
Blessings, Beth
I love the placemats! Great find. Hope you find two more along the way. Great job on the thrifting. Wish I could shop with you some day.
The whole table is lovely and the flowers are beautiful.
Thank you for stopping by for tea. Hope to see you soon.
Blessings, Pam
You certainly found some great buys thrifting. Your table is as cute as can "bee".
Mimi, I can't believe that stemware was only 49 cents each! What a deal. I want some of those placemats (cause you know I NEED some more tablescaping items!!). That cabbage tureen is great too. Your thrifty tablescape does not look thrifty at all. It looks like a happy place to have a meal. Great job. laurie
Amazing! I don't know how you do it! Love those green glasses! Beautiful!!
Wow, you did really well with all of your thrifty finds. Our GW store does not EVER have anything like that. Really like the amber stemware. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your TT. BTW, I am offering a 200th posting giveaway.
Good morning MImi, I have missed you. Your tablescape is awesome and I love the thrift part. A good lesson for those who think they have to have the best stuff for a nice look. Good thrifting great table.
Hugs, Jeanne
What a thrifty table!!! It's great. You got some good deals. Here in southern California it is rare to find anything at a thrift store for less than a dollar. Especially at Goodwill. Count yourself lucky. Thanks for sharing your tablescape. And thanks for visiting my blog & leaving me a comment on my split pea wreath.
Kim
You are so good at finding great buys, Mimi! I love the bee placemats and the cabbage tureen is wonderful!
A lovely color combination! You must do the "Found Me Some Treasure Dance " a lot! You're good at it! Keep your flag-a-wavin'...Joan
Hi Mimi! Thanks so much for your visit to my blog! I enjoyed looking at your Tablescape too! Don't you love the great stuff at thrift stores?
~Nana~
perhaps the universe was telling you to enjoy a dinner for two! i'm a big bee fan, so if you ever tire of those placemats, let me know.
thanks for stopping by my blog!
