Frugal Tablescape January

Yay!! I have done my very first tablescape.  One of my New Year's resolutions is to do one frugal tablescape each month this year.


My theme for this one was snow, and we've just had the most wonderful snow here!
The blue dishes were found at Dollar Tree  and I bought 6  for 6.00.
The decorations were from Dollar Tree on sale after Christmas 2 for 1.00.  The white plates, Arby's Christmas glasses, silverware, ribbon, and glass "rocks"  were things I already had. I borrowed the tablecloth. The chargers were from after Christmas sales at Wally world for 1.25 for 4 and they gave me 1 extra.  Originally the chargers were red, but I spray painted them with a hammered silver finish.  So, I may have about 10.00 dollars in this project.
Oh, the napkins were just an old shirt I cut up to cover over white napkins that didn't look quite right! Really it is much prettier than the pictures. Even my teen boys said they wish the table looked like that more often.




I am so excited about my Valentine's Day Table for Two!  If you are trying your hand at frugal tablescaping please let me know in the comments, so I can see what you've come up with!
