My First Tablescape--Thrifty St. Patrick's Day Tablescape!

This is my version of a green...as in dollar friendly, St. Patrick's Day Tablescape!

 My 13 year old daughter Tati has a different take for a St. Patrick's Day Tablescape...she set a more formal tablescape using some of the same items.  We had a lot of fun setting up our different tablescapes using some of the same items.  You can find her tablescape at this link:http://polkadotpantrysweets.blogspot.com/2010/02/st-patricks-day-table-setting.html.

We are linking up at Tablescape Thursday!  Come see many more tablescapes on display.  The link for this is:http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/.


 I am kind of undecided on the napkins.  There is actually green on it, but it doesn't show up well in the photos.  At home, I thought the red napkin was a nice contrast to the green...I am not so sure now.


These glasses were a happy find at the Dollar Store!  I just love the stem!


The bowls were found at the Dollar Store.  The placemats were from Wal-Mart bought for, I think, fifty cents in a post-season sale last year.


The plates were bought for fifty cents at the Dollar Store.  They were on clearance!  The silverware is from Wal-Mart.  The napkins were a gift from my sister-in-law Camille.

The plates, bowls, and stemware are all still available at my Dollar Store.  Maybe they are still available at your Dollar Store! 
Happy Tablescaping!
