I am still on a blue kick, this week there is a little yellow mixed in...reminds me of blue sky and sunshine. I think spring has finally found it's way onto the prairie. I checked the weather for the next 10 days and it looks like we will be in the 50's up to the low 70's...I am sure that means no more snow! I have even seen a few dandelions...and a bit of green grass!
The string place mats were found at Goodwill for 49¢ all four.
layers started with a blue dinner plate by Vera Bradley...
the next layer is Alfred Meakin salad plate....followed by
a Spode Blue Bird soup bowl. These bowls were also 49¢ each at Goodwill. I scoured the shelves looking for more pieces but found none.
The seeded glassware were also a thrift store find.
The flatware is Gibson, also found at Goodwill last July, service for 8 for $1.99. Sometimes Goodwill turns up some great items for pennies on the dollar!
The napkins are Marat d'Avignon France that were found at Goodwill several years ago. I also found another 4 months later at Savers. The napkin rings are inexpensive white plastic 99¢ for 6 or 8 at Savers.
The centerpiece is a blue and white cachepot with faux white roses from my friend, Phyllis.
Thanks for taking the time to visit today...please come back again.

Love how you integrated all the blues together, and that string placemat is very unique! Once again...great table setting. - Sue Z.
It's cold and wet here today, so this blue sky and sunshine table of yours makes me smile. Such happy colors! The stack is lovely especially ending with Spode Blue Bird.
Love, love, love this tablescape. Everything is perfection. love, bbb
What bargains you found. Everything looks beautifully put together. Your profile could be mine, except I raised 2 boys and 2 girls and I want kitties but have 3 dogs. I love thrifting and estate sales. I should be downsizing and decluttering, but it seems I'm just collecting more in my old age.
What a pretty Spring table, Marigene. I wishi could go shopping with you at GW for you find the best bargains. Those little bowls are so sweet and I love the flatware. Your table is so cheery.
P.S. We LOVED the rolls!
Blue tablescapes always catch my eye. Love the flatware and the Blue Bird together. Bring on Spring!

Pretty pretty pretty! It is cold and wet here, too, and my house has been like a barn all day because the front doors were being installed. I put up a post about that debacle.
I need your Goodwill! I love everything you found there, the napkins, the mats, and those bowls are wonderful. What prices. Your centerpiece is so lovely! I crave flowers!
Beautiful table, M, thanks for linking to Let's Dish! It is 27 here, Spring my a double scribble!
Seriously, missy...you find ALL the good stuff at the thrift stores! I try to hit those out here in LS and those along the Wornall corridor in KC as well as a few in OP. Almost never do I find anything at all worthwhile. It's probably because you got to it first! :-) :-) :-)
This is a really pretty table for Spring, Marigene, and the bowls just really draw it all together. I really like those placemats. You got a heck of a deal on those. I have seen them for nearly $7 each!
Let's hope that weather we're expecting this weekend doesn't bring anything weird with it!
There isn't one thing on that table that I don't just love. Seriously, from the GW placemats all the way to those vivid blue napkins, I love it all. I think my favorite dish is the Spode bluebird soup bowl. It *makes* the table.
Not only is this table so pretty it is thrifty also. You find some great things to really set a table apart from the crowd! Hugs, Linda
You know I never tire of seeing beautiful tables set with blue and white so keep them coming. Love your touches of yellow to the mix. Love the blue bubble goblets too.
OK, now I see the cousins you were talking about and I definitely love them! I'm also drooling over those vera Bradley plates. Those are timeless!!!
This is absolutely beautiful, Marigene! I'm impressed with how well all your collected pieces play together so nicely.
You never should have told us those were faux roses...you can't tell at all.
I love seeing the sunshine on your pretty blue goblets. Gorgeous!
Marigene, I am I love with this table! I just cannot believe you found it all at Goodwill. I truly need to come shopping with you and learn at the heels of a master! Dianne
Marigene~ Your table is beautiful and love the blues and bargains you've found! I do not have luck at GW~ your flatware and Spode are wonderful!
Marigene, wow you have found some great things at Goodwill..I am beginning to think everybody else has a better Goodwill then we do. LOL my sweet spot used to be the Salvation Army but it has changed..I love your table and the blue and yellow is perfect for this time of year..
Love, Mona
Marigene,
Your beautiful blue & white tablescape gently whispers "Spring on the Praire", dear friend!!!
I love those Vera Bradley blue plates!!! Your stemware is elegant!!!

P.S. Yesterday we had sleet, rain and SNOW!!! Today is in the 50's...hoping Mother Nature got my Memo that it is time for Spring on our side of the Prairie!!! :)
Oh, the string place mats are fabulous and very unique Marigene! The dishes are gorgeous, all of them! Great finds, I'm jelous! I only down sized from a huge house to a pent house, big enough apartment, but I can't stop buying, if not bargains, at regular price, if I just fall in love with things, like I would with your gorgeous Spode Blue Bird lol..The chumal is very much like the Mexican tamal, which I've seen them, but never had one. Big hugs,

Lovely. I am glad I found your blog.
Blue has never been my color, but recently everything I"ve seen that I like is blue....go figure. Your table confirms that blue is, indeed, a wonderful color and brightens the day.
That is it, I have got to start shopping at Goodwill. I love those quirky placemats, and the bowls are adorable. Wow, what bargains!
You are lucky I don't live in your area. I would be competition trying to find those bargains, although I'd love to shop with you too. Love the blue and white!
How beautiful!!! I just saw some similar placemats to the ones you got for 49 cents at Ikea for...well...a LOT more than 49 cents...haha! Such a pretty table! I love the bargains you got! Thanks so much for sharing this on this week's FESTIVE FRIDAY FIESTA! Hope you're having a great weekend!
So beautiful!
Love those Vera Bradley plates. I have chargers of the same pattern. So pretty.

It is sunny and warm here and my yellow, seaside cottage is nestled in a blue-scape: hum like your lovely table setting :)
But I am anxious to head north to my studio and the joy of springtime on the ridge.

You find the best things at the best prices. Love your table. Love Love Love.
I was thinking of you when I went to visit the Goodwill. Still kicking myself for not getting those glasses.
I love your blue and white table, Marigene. You find great bargains just like Kathleen. You have a real gift of putting things together is a beautiful and creative way.
WHAT? I have to get out to the thrift stores again soon. I love the place mats. Heck I love it all and the blue is brilliant.
