Thrifty Breakfast & And Update

Thank you all for your cheery thoughts

and prayers for my health!

I was awakened at about

4:30 AM on Tuesday morning in extreme pain.

I woke up Mr. B and we went to the ER

as I had been instructed.

Several hours later and the diagnoses was

no appendicitis.

Only thing they could find was some blockage

so I was sent home with a 

citrate cocktail.

I'm still in some pain but it is diminished somewhat

and I am just hoping it all

works its way out,

if you know what I mean (wink).

Luckily, I had set the table for breakfast

over the weekend

using some of my very thrifty finds!

 The tablecloth is vinyl and 

came from Big Lots.

I started with a woven placemat

that I purchased at Goodwill

here for $2.00 for the set of four.

I then added the plates

found at Sears,

on clearance, for less than $8.00

on this day.

And the rooster salad plates are the 

newest thrift find from this

past weekend thifty day

for $1.00 each!

The flatware was a gift

from Mr. B and the napkins I've had forever.

They are a perfect match to the green in the 

salad plates.

Big glasses for milk from Walmart at .79 each,

little juice glasses from Ikea,

$4.99 for 6,

and our everyday Gibson coffee mugs

finish the setting.

 The table is also set

with a large pitcher

from Goodwill several years ago

to fill with icy cold milk.

The roses sold me!

And, of course, the sugar and creamer

set also purchased

this past weekend.

 I had to include the vintage

orange juice carafe

from the very first giveaway I entered

when I started blogging,

and WON 

over at

Rhett Didn't Give A Damn!

The centerpiece is simple.

Just my favorite clearanced rooster

from Joann's 

and a thrifted vase I spray painted

heirloom white

with some faux

late summer flowers.

I'm thinking that, once my

stomach is up to it,

this breakfast table calls for some

hearty biscuits, thick sausage gravy,

chunky applewood smoke bacon, and

homemade bread, still warm from the oven,

dripping with Saskatoon berry jam!
