Beach Towel Tablecloth

 It doesn't take a lot of money to create 

an interesting tablescape. You just have to think outside of the box.

I was trying to think of something to go with another

polka dot project. I walked through the den 

and saw this new Green Polka Dot beach towel.

 It didn't fit the table so I angled it. I liked the color it added and I always enjoy seeing the wood on my antique table.

You may have remembered that my grandson and a friend visited us during their spring break.

They were a joy to have with us, they are extremely great kids and we had a great time. 

 We hated to see them go but 
when they left they gave us a package with a variety of neat gifts.
This adorable polka dot beach towel 
was among the gifts.

Dollar Tree place mat!

I started looking for anything 
that had a round/dot look. 

Dollar Tree plate!

 I was already thinking green and white!

These came from T. J. Max

 I just love these plates but could only find two.

I am continuously looking for more.

Cracker Barrel, 70% off.

 I knew I needed a little more color. I love these

little Yellow plates called Gerber Daisy from
Cracker Barrel. I knew they would perfect.

 I added this dessert dish from my collection

and placed it on a paper doily. The egg candle in the dessert dish made this an Easter Tablescape. Right?

I filled in with these striped salad plates.

I justified them by recalling that the

beach towel has a stripe across the bottom.

Notice how the doily matches the crochet on the napkin.

 I made the napkin rings 
with another tablescape in mind 
and I am sharing how 
I made them in another post.

I used two different yellow napkins, these plaid and other solid yellow. I made the plaid.

The white crochet trimmed napkins 
are from Horchow.

Remember, I saved money by making the yellow plaid napkins and the rings!!

 The floral centerpiece is made of leftovers
from Bob's free flowers of the week here 
and some other flowers from my garden.

 The Calla Lily, Red Daisies, Yellow Tulip and Butterfly Lavender are from my garden.

Below are random pictures of the table.

  A plain yellow napkin with the crocheted napkin. The flatware is my everyday.

 I am playing with Iphoto in my Mac operating system. The white picture and reticulated bowl with lid are from my collection. I think I purchased the bowl at Hobby Lobby a few years ago.

 Amazing how different things look 

in black and white. I didn't take a good shot of the stemware. They are pretty, delicate and came from a consignment store.

The candlestick was thrifted and was $1.00. I posted about it and the dish holding the flower arrangement 

here. The embellishment on the candle is a simple length of grosgrain ribbon and a stickon daisy.

 I love this little squirrel and he shows up everywhere.

This is better view of the flower container that was thrifted here.

 I just liked this angle. You can glimpse our antique Stromberg Carlson telephone on the wall.

A Candle shot!

 The votive holder matches the daisy plates and was purchased from Cracker Barrel at the same time.

It wasn't dark 

but I managed to get some candle shots.

Hope you enjoyed my Beach Towel Tablescape!
