Using Yard Sale and Auction Dishes to set the Table

I have a special table set for our lunch today using some of the new pieces I found at the auction and yard sales over the week end.     I  thought it would be fun to think out of the box and serve a "loaded" salad in my new silver chafing dish  ($12.50 at the auction)

I used a vintage quilt for the table cloth with a Battenburg overlay.     I found this rather worn quilt at a yard sale a few weeks ago....it wasn't marked,  so I asked the girl how much....she said "it's worn out,  would you pay .50?.....whaaaat??

The salad will be served on these gorgeous rose plates.....

Aren't these silverware holders cute?    They will hold four pieces,   perfect for a buffet table .....



The knife holder will hold up to 4 knives....

.50 each at a yard sale.

After lunch,  we will enjoy a cup of tea from the new teapot and cups....

The roosters print is perfect for my kitchen....another auction buy.

I bought these chairs at the auction a few weeks ago.    I had to buy 3 but one of them was not in very good shape, so I will have to repurose it.

H gave them a fresh coat of cream paint and shabbied them up a little with the sander.

I bought quite a few things for my booth over the week end and a few things for myself.....lol.....  but that's another post!
