First Tablescape for 2015

New Year's Eve Table 

A New Year and I guess my computer 
decided I needed a break.
On New Year's Eve I tried to post 
my New Year Eve's table.
Things did not work out I could 
not upload any of the photo's.
Well low and behold I finally tired again and
 it worked,
Better late than never!!!
Ladies I give to you my
 New Year's Eve Table

I shopped the house and only purchased a few
 filler items for the center piece,
I began with a black cloth
Centerpiece is arranged on a silver tray with glass candle holders, 
silver garland and silver ornaments and trees.
 With a special appearance from a 
Doyle and Dollie silver New Year Eves bird.

COPY CAT MANTEL

Copy cat Challenge is ON! (Magazine and Blogger copies}

I wanted to join DeebieDoos Copy Challenge,

 but thought I had nothing and

would  not have time to throw something together.

But then I remember that I had copied

The Frugal Homemaker mantel

for my RED, WHITE & BLUE July the 4th.

So thought I would share.

Don't miss out, jump on over and see all the neat things that have been shared.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wanted something different for the mantel

As we all do I began to search the web.

I came across this mantel that I really like and

begin to think I can do that.

I didn't ask permission but

The Frugal Homemaker 

was my favorite.

Please go over and check out her site.

http://thefrugalhomemaker.com/

Sorry still learning how to insert.

After seeing this I knew this was the one and

I began to think what do I have?

So the search began.

I searched my containers and  went from room to room.

I even went to the dirty storage building. YUK!

Here is my Mantel.

The best part is dear ones the only thing that

 I did purchases new is the small wagon.

Now here is really the best part

it was only $1.00 at a garage sale!

I say YAHOO to that <;)
