Thrifty Dining Table For Fall




 We found this serving board made from an old door, 
this weekend, at a garage sale. 
Joe spotted it first. 
It has cute legs.


Chippy legs. 
These would be easy to make but for $8.00 this was a good deal.



The pumpkin colored pitcher is a FTD container found 
at a yard sale by my SIL. 
The candles were .25 cents at an estate sale. 
The new linen tea towel was $2.00 at an estate sale. 
The candle sticks are Southern Living Home bought at the Rusty Gate
the consignment store I consign at.  
Pumpkins will be finding their way on the table soon.

In Olive Out news we had house guests this weekend.
 We went to a local arts and crafts fair and to Saturday garage sales. I cooked once.I did link to a couple of parties and did not comment a lot. Y'all should smack me. In a couple of hours I go see the general surgeon about my surgery. 
Life glorious Life.

joy and peace
Olive

  14. Who ever thought to make the door into a serving board was genius. I love that orange FTD pitcher. I keep seeing cute vases at the thrift store and flip them over thinking they are going to be one of the vintage manufacturers that I look for, but then they have a FTD label on them. They have good taste!

  20. You are the queen of finds. The candle sticks remind me of a candlestick my mother in law gave me. It was made from a porch baluster. Apparently the fellow had candle holders from the whole balustrade available, and she only bought me the one.

  32. First thing I saw was the wonderful candlesticks. Twenty-five cents?! Woohoo! The tray is a great idea. I'll be eying old cabinet doors with the knowledge of what to do with them now.

    Hope surgery recovery time is short. Take care.
