You are such a great shopper and I bet they just love to see you come in. I know I love seeing what you find! I had forgot about your leopard chargers but I hope this little globe is enough to get you inspired to set a table with them.

The other vases are very pretty. That silver one looks like it has a pearl finish which will look great with your flowers. You always come up with pretty centerpieces.

I would of never noticed the one was made out of ash trays. Some people are so creative. The silver tray looks pretty new.

You will find alot of uses for both sets of green candle holders. I think the ones with gold would look nice with your new pineapple ones. By the way I have never seen or paid attention to pineapple candle holders before but sure like them.

Will be looking forward to seeing your white vases and terra cotta vase this week on your new table. So happy for you and all your great finds shopping today .

And to think I spent the whole day working around home. Will be doing more of the same tomorrow. Two acres is beginning to seem like way to much work for me. I need to hire a housekeeper and gardner so I have more time to play.LOL

Here's a table to help you get inspired MM. Don't remember where I seen it but I had saved it to share with you. What do you think?

More good finds for you MM! Gosh, I hit two TS today and only came home with some books! I looked at lots of dishes and stuff--just nothing special around here lately. How clever that someone thought to put the ashtrays together! I would not have known that if you hadn't told us. Your green candlesticks might work for the earthday tablescapes we're all hoping to do--just a thought. Glad you found some goodies to make you feel better.

Oh I agree MM..great shopping finds. I see lots of great tables from you coming up. Those candlesticks are really nice and I would have never guessed that candle holder was from ashtrays. I love to see what people create from using other things. Hope you feel better..but by your shopping finds...seems you got better as you went along! lol

Punk, what an attractive table with all the animal prints.
Those little stockings with the flatware, are so different.
There are so many elements to this table, and they all blend together nicely.

Punk:: Oh my stars! What a wonderful!! pic you saved (*thank you for thinking of me*).
I loooove that it's a bit o' Christmas but funky animal at the same time.
I'm still putting pieces together for mine and it will get set eventually , but most definatly not as elegant as the one you shared. LOL

MM, glad being sick didn't interfere with shopping! You got some neat things to play with. That should make you
feel better. Retail therapy I think its called.

But personally I don't think its our fault if our cars just turn right into these parking spaces and refuse to move unless we come out with stuff to put in them!! Sort of like gas, they NEED us to do this to make them run right. LOL.
Works for me!

hugs, Karen

Great finds, MM! I am sure you felt a little better after you shopped!
Those pineapples are great, and the dark green candlesticks caught my eye too!

Great finds and there is nothing like "retail therapy" to feel better ! ;-D You will have so much fun with those treasures. Such a creative idea with the ashtrays, I'd never have thot of that and there are usually so many in thrift stores.

Reminds me of when I first started thrifting and I shopped very often and bot so many things. Such a novelty and sooo fun. Now I have to restrain myself as I have so many things, no more storage space, and no point in buying duplicates, at least not too many! Wish I had more things I liked less so I could give them up and buy more!

Say, MM. Can you share your leopard chargers again? I don't remember seeing them. I have been toying with the idea of doing an African Animal theme.

OA:
Here they are :).

I hope you do manage to pull together an Animal theme. I'd love to see it.

Totally cool! Totally!

You are one lucky woman. For some reason, plates and chargers with an animal print on them are very expensive.

Thanks for taking the time to show the picture.

MM...nothing like a little shoppin' when needed (good PT), I think! Sometimes just keepin' movin' helps more than not! And, WOW, now that you've posted a pic of the "charger," I'm seeing those 3 pineapples in that t'scape! Awesome finds! And maybe that ashtray creation can be tied in, too...color looks perfect & shape is different! TFS, MM!
