Sharing Shadymont, My Mountain Cottage

If you've followed my blog for a while, you have seen this pie cupboard that belonged to my grandmother, then my mother.  I painted it white a while ago.  I didn't want to set the table this year with the Christmas dishes, but wanted to use them somewhere in my decor.  I decided to place them in the pie cupboard.   I removed the art above the cupboard, and replaced it with this quilt wall hanging, a gift from my SIL several years ago.  The Christmas dishes were a consignment find for around $20.  It's a 6 place setting with a serving bowl, and suger/creamer.  I placed holly designed napkins on the shelves. I've had the napkins since the eighties, I guess.  The dishes also have a holly design.   The pitcher was found a year or so ago at a consignment shop. I'm enjoying the cheerfulness of this cupboard in the breakfast nook. Sharing here: Share Your Style Share Your C up Hand Made Hangou...

This year, I am using my Christmas dishes purchased at a consignment sale my daughter held a few years ago.  I think I paid around $20.00 for the whole set, checked on Replacements website, and they would have cost me around $400.00 to purchase.  So it was a fabulous deal. They are Festive Holly, by Nikko.  I have enjoyed decorating with these dishes. I purchased the holly tablecloth from the same lady as the dishes.  It was three or four dollars.  The green glasses belonged to my Mother in law.  The silverware was also bought at the same consignment sale at a steal. The napkins and silver colored chargers are from Wal Mart.  I made the centerpiece by placing some Dollar Tree greenery in this pitcher, I found last year at a consignment shop, and made a bow for the handle from Dollar Tree ribbon. The red charger under the pitcher is from Wal Mart.    It doesn't cost a lot to set a pretty table.   I proba...
