| I set this table before St. Patrick's Day, but it really was not a St. Pat's table. I did use soft greens and golds.
I found this Johnson Brothers Friendly Village pitcher for $5 at GdWl and the gold beaded placemat for .37c!
I found the large gold plates at ARC, Espana by Tabletops Unlimited for $1.25 ea, the soft green plates were $1 ea, and the small Pfaltzgraf salad plates at Gdwl, .42c each. They reminded me of a Celtic Knot, even though they're not, pun intended. The flatware was on clearance at Ross, Hampton Rosalyn pattern, $4.50 after senior discount. The goblets were all TS finds as are the napkins and tablecloth. The lace edge on the napkins seemed appropriate also. Happy Spring,

| Ahhhhhhhhhhh! I just paid $11 a piece for two sets of salt and pepper shakers and you got an entire table setting for the same amount of money. I'm going into my room to sulk. I'm back. I've settled down. Like the use of amber and green stemware mixed together. This may not have been a St. Patty's tablescape, but it sure has that feeling. Nice job! |

Oh, a pretty, pretty table, candy...you do this t'scaping so well! (& at bargain $$$) TFS! Jeanne S. |

| Candy, This table is so pretty, soft and delicate. Perfect for St Patrick's Day or any day in Spring. The design on the salad plates remind me of Celtic Knots also. I love the Johnson Brothers pitcher it adds to the feel of the Irish countryside. Using the gold plates, chargers and goblets accent the soft green beautifully. Thank you for sharing this lovely table. Nana |

| Lovely.. all just lovely. You are definitely the 'Queen' of finds! I like the pretty combination of colors you chose for your linens - plates - stems and the pop of gold chargers. This table, like Nana said - is great for St. Pat's Day or any day in Spring. BTW...I'm in shock over the price you paid for your Johnson Brothers pitcher! jane |

| Very pretty tablescape, Candy. Those beaded placemats sell new for $9 to $12 each, so great find and you put it to good use. The pitcher is so pretty as are your salad plates, celtic knot or not! LOL Love those goblets too. Luvs |

| OA, My table decor may have been less expensive than your S & P's, but yours were brand new and mine are recycled. Plus, I am at the mercy of whatever I find and yours were for a specific theme, which is extremely clever BTW. Jeanne, thanks for the compliment. I couldn't afford to do tablescapes if it weren't for TS's! But thanks to senior discounts and 50% off days, it makes it an affordable diversion. Nana, Thanks, I also thought the colors were pretty together. Jane, I checked the prices of the pitcher on Ebay and I paid about 1/4 to 1/3 of what they were asking for it there. Score!! Luvs, I almost didn't buy the pitcher, but decided it was a pretty good buy. I don't seem to have a problem talking myself into buying something, LOL. Thanks again everyone. |

| Candy, ditto to what the others said. Nice soft colors and love the sparkling golds. Great buy on the Johnson Brothers pitcher. So pretty. Punk |

| Punk, I have a few Johnson Brothers pieces, so decided I needed the pitcher. LOL Marlene, except for the flatware, every single other item on this table is from thrift stores. Thanks again everybody, |

| This is lovely, Candy, the salad plates are so pretty! The pitcher is great, I have never seen one like that. Your thrift store finds are better than CTS. You are getting quality and it is not all made in China. The thrift stores here are no bargain. Very pricey! |
