First we start out with these Pfaltzgraff dishes (they are just like Marty’s - at A Stroll Thru Life – in fact I purely blamed it all on Marty when I spotted these at the thrift store - and had to get them..earlier this year)I have a place setting for 12. I did not display all the dishes or the accessories that I have collected the last few months. This set screams Fall to me. Question: Do your dishes, animals and other things you love – talk to you ?
The flatware came from the thrift. I made the little name setting tags.
The candle holder I used to lift the coffee pot , I found at the thrift store yesterday for $1.99 and I did not paint it….
The glasses are a neat greeny teal color and I was thrilled when I saw that they matched my placemats (which are Longaberger and I have owned for years)
I love to stack mugs – I found these at the thrift store , just this weekend for a buck a piece.
One dollar goblets from the thrift store…I have a set of four.
Napkins from Penney's , I got them in the spring for two bucks for 4. Tablecloth is a Ralph Loren , I have owned for a couple of years.
Sorry , I got a little carried away with the pictures as I found the RIGHT LIGHT for picture taking -daylight, Yeah !
BEWARE !!!!!!
of the next picture – it is a bit indecent..remember Hunky Tom well……………….
.
.
. I warned you…….
.
. Please don’t let young children see this next picture…..
.
. Really are you just that curious ????

HE’S A…..

FLASHER !!!!!

A PEEPING TOM!!! You really do find the best deals in Blogland! Your house looks so pretty and "fallish"!
Wow! You really got some great deals - thanks for sharing. Cute Tom Turkey. :)
Beautiful table. Love to see all your thrift store finds.
Oh Kammy, I love Tom too, he is just wonderful and I am so glad you got him. Now as for the Pfaltzgraph, you know that I love it the most of all. What a thrill that you've collected so many pieces. They did make some wonderful accessories for these dishes and they wear like iron. I know you will love yours as much as I love mine. Hugs, Marty
A flasher! LOL! Nice tablescape!
Living it up at Lakewood,

heeheehee!
I went to find more of our favorite paint and wouldn't you know it. Had every color but our bronze. I wondered who else must be reading your blog around these parts. I went back this weekend and there was only two cans on the shelf so I got both.
Ahhhhhhhhh! Was I suppose to be resting???? Ahhhhhhhh! I am! I'm really being good. I left work early; one full hour today. In 9 years I can't remember taking off work except when I had spinal surgery and then I was flat on my back.
I got a new kitchen table cloth too. It's a pretty red and I should probably save it for Thanksgiving. I notice it's already getting dirty. I need to whip this place in shape before gobble gobble day. Well ... maybe I'll just leave it. :-)
Hugs
HIlarious! Love Tom and your table setting is so wonderfully fall-ish. You must have terrific thrift stores girl!
LOL! I sitting here with a big smile! Love it all!
P.S. Tom is so sexy!
So glad to see that this wasn't a post about Tom Cruise....ackkk! I didn't know what to expect! You're so funny Kammy, and I love your Tom too!
Oh, Kammy! First let me tell you your photos are gorgeous! You've become quite a photographer! ;)
Oh, that Tom is one manly guy! I can tell he is not going to be any one's Thanksgiving dinner! I love Tom.
Honey, you're the one who's found the treasures. Your dishes are so wonderful. You've set such a beautiful table with them. Love your flatware. Oh, I just love them all!
Now you had better watch that Tom, he's a stinker, I can tell.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Wow, great finds, Kammy!
Love the "flasher". The Pfaltzgraf is wonderful!
Great post!
I have known about these dishes for years, but seeing them in your post makes me want them!
The power of suggestion-
Everything looks amazing-
Laura
The table looks lovely....even with a peeping Tom!! Your pictures were fabulous (as always)
Jane
Okay I don't for one minute believe that you didn't paint it. Really? Huh. I wouldn't have believed it.
I would think half price was pretty good. I guess I give in too easily.
You have so impressed me with your finds. I too am collecting Pfaltzgraff dishes, but I am not as lucky as you are. Maybe I have to keep my eyes peeled. I get a chuckle out of your Tom. A great addition. Love his boots!
LOL==peeping tom!! haa Love the turkey, love the table setting, just love it all. Love your blog too!!! Tom is down right adorable.
PS: I made the chalk board that you did from the previous post. I found an oval framed picture for $1 at Goodwill. Paid more for the paint, but I painted my frame white. Looks awesome. Thanks for great ideas!
Love the Pfaltzgraff dishes. I would like to run across a great set like that. Cute table.
You are too funny.....a flashing Tom!!! Keep the kiddos indoors! Happy Fall to you! Great finds as usual.
Blessings~

Come on over and visit with me. I'm sharing an award with you!

Cute post! Love the way you combine all your finds. Daylight does seem the best for photographs. My camera has very limited success with artificial light and I have yet to find a photographer's light at the thrift store but maybe the thrifting fairies will whisper in my ear...
Be still my heart. I too am in love with your Tom. I cannot believe you found him at at thrift store.
Your tablescape just made my heart pitter-patter. Those dishes were the first dishes I collected after I got married. I had 12 place settings, glasses and every accessory made to match. After I stopped using them for everyday, I used them for Thanksgiving and my fall display for years...then a few years ago got a chance to sell them. Now after seeing your table, I'm wishing I had them.
I am going to be on the hunt for one of those turkeys.
Cute a flasher. ;-) I love all the LAYERS you added to this table!!!! And I spy a beautifully decorated hutch in the background too. Cute post, thrifty finds ...I'm lovin' it.
Great table...I love Tom and his shameless flashing makes him all the more.....interesting
Everything is so lovely.I just love this time of the year to decorate.
Willow
Kammy, Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd come visiting and see tom turkey porn! LOL
Love the Pfaltzgraph dishes. They are a classic. Those glasses look like the Arby's goblets from the late 80's. They could be purchased when you bought a certain food item from their menu. I have 12 of them. I also have 12 of their Christmas tumblers. Both were under a dollar apiece, can't remember which one was the more expensive one. Every time Mr. Sullivan went to lunch there, he bought one. He even had his employees picking them up for me!
:-) Sue
Haha, he certainly is a hunky, manly fellow! :) I bet he is totally smitten and so happy you scooped him up and brought him home. He looks so perfect on that table! Everything looks beautiful. :)
Stopped by Kmart today and finally found some towel racks I've been looking for. I'm wondering if i should paint them. :-)
Beautiful table, Kammy! You're right about those dishes ~ they say Fall to me, too.
Wow! What a beautiful tablescape. I love the Tom and the three tiered bit!!! Those dishes are so nice and I especially love the coffee urn or pitcher (whatever!!) and things you have too! Everything is so nice--nice match on the glasses and placemats!!
OHHHHH, I love Tom too!! He has lots of admirers!! Your fall tablescape is just beyond words. Those dishes are perfect for fall. Your photos are beautiful and yes, light is the most important factor!
Your table is gorgeous! Even a peeping tom...well I never. :)
Hi Kammy!
Oh now woman you have gone and done it! Now I am going to have to go on a wild turkey hunt! I LOVE Tom! Your table looks fantastic! Love everything about it. Your dishes and accessories are just wonderful.
Oh and if you see me nosing around in the background, just ignore me. I am checking out the goodies in your hutch! LOL
Have a great day!
Oh how funny -- I would have taken Tom home too (especially after that flashing!) Wonderful treasures on your table -- it sure looks like a delightful fall at your house.
Kammy, this is truly delightful...just as you are! I love it all, especially all the wonderful colors and of course, Tom!!!! Ha.
Barb ♥
You set a beautiful and affordable table. Very fun story! I would be smitten with Tom too. Lucky you, he went home with you!
Yvonne
I love your table set for Thanksgiving with Tom! I also love the dishes. This pattern reminds me of my childhood because my mother had these. Thanks for recalling happy memories. Happy TT to you!
Love your new bo, he is so masculine, you were right, he does flash, but they all have their faults...You sure can find such great buys, much more expensive in Ca. not a lot of good deals, you really have to search them out...Love your tablescape, thanks for sharing it and him...
Wow, Tom is a very tawdry turkey for sure...Watch out the night before Tgiving, he may get..well, you know!
Your table is just beautiful..love all the textures and colors AND bargains!
I was thinking Tom is one cool dude, then you reveal he is a flasher! LOL! Good deal on that tureen!
Nice tablescape, neat colors!
Katherine
You're too funny. Watch that Mr.Tom! Love the way you displayed and photographed your finds, especially your new dishes. They are perfect for the fall...just beautiful!
Excellent post and tablescape!! You kept me in suspense all the way through! Very funny! Seriously, Tom is very handsome and will be very handy. You have found some beautiful things for fabulous prices...wish I was as thrifty of a shopper as you! Your pics are great too!
DD
I ♥ Tom the Flasher! Your table is gorgeous, and yes, it does speak of fall. I am impressed with the amount of accessories you have collected, they are usually hard to find. Thanks for sharing.
My eyes! My eyes! ;-)
This is such a cute post, Kammy. And I love that flashing Tom.
I canot believe you did not spraypaint that stand! Do we need to take your temp??? It is still cute, but girl, I'm concerned.
Love your table.
XO,
Sheila :-)
Great post. Pretty table. Love Tom! Enjoyed it.
D
great pics and i loved your turkey!
Kammy,
girl, you are so much fun! I would love to go thrifting with you! Great deals, darling table and Tom is surely a hunk! Hugs, Cindy
Great thrift store finds, and yes those dishes do say Fall. And it goes without saying Tom has just charmed me. I think I might have broken down and brought him home too. Thanks for stopping by.
Sandy
Your tablescape is soooo wonderfully autumnal, Kammy! Great score on those dishes. Mr. Tom is terrific...I cracked up at the "flasher" picture!! LOL
I love your 3 tiered centerpiece & your goblets ARE a perfect match to your
placemats....serendipity, for sure!
That Tom is a naughty boy, isn't he? So cute!
Great find on those dishes, and they do speak to me too. I like all your pumpkins on the display shelf in the background too. You've a three-tiered server like Susan's that she used this week. Love it!
Lovely post, and you have a great sense of humour!
Thank you for your note on my Blog......I love your table and all your thrift store finds.
Cute Peeping Tom.....:-)
LOve Tom the flasher! How cute is he!
JUst wanted to drop by to say hello, sweete friend!
What a hoot! I found myself thinking that I needed to set my table so I could get some photographs like you did. I am especially drawn to the photo with the spoon in the foreground and the wicker mat and placesetting is in focus. Thanks for all of the cool angles.
Love Tom! What a hunk. Your table looks beautiful set with your phalzcraft brown dishes. I used to have that same pattern in the blue. Love the tiered centerpiece too, they seem to be popular today, Susan used one too.
Happy TT.
Hugs,
Sue
This all says home for Thanksgiving. Your turkey is adorable (I have a thing for turkeys too) and the dishes are just perfect.
Susan
You must have like the best thrift stores in the us or something! Gosh I can't find great stuff at ours. Oh well. Great job! Love the brown of the dishes and your flatware is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.
Love Tom turkey and your table.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Ally
Hi Kammy,
Yes I can see why you are in love with Tom... he is a fine figure of a turkey. Loved your great finds. The brown Pfaltzgraph is so versatile... I love brown and it is always so hard to find. I enjoyed your cute post. Enjoy your day.
Maryrose
Oh Kammy how cute he is. No wonder you were so smitten. I loved your entire table and all the photo's thanks for sharing.
I wish I could go thrifting with you. What a smart girl you are. Must know the best places!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful table. Oh I love the place cards too.
Have a Blessed Weekend,
Sherry

Manuela
Great post! I love Tom, too! I just love all of your bargains, way to go! Kerrie
I love Tom the turkey! You do find great buys. The dishes are great too.
i love the pinecone centerpiece! thanks for coming by my blog!
Love it! "tom" is such a ladies man! I also love your thrifty ways! thanks for sharing... Dee Dee
What a beautiful tablescape! Love that mix of old and new, pieces gathered from here and there--makes it even more lovely that you put it together yourself.
Hi Kammy! Love the "flasher"! Also love the 3-tier centerpiece, just gorgeous!
Oh Tom is a super hunk! I love him, even if he does flash. Hey, if you've got it, flaunt it, you know?
And I think Marty is responsible for more than one person indulging a love for dishes!
Lovely table! LOVE that tiered plate. Cass
PS Soapstone comes in basically 4 forms -- dark green with lots of veins, or little veining, and black with lots of veins or little veining. We chose black with little veining -- like a lab table, hahaha.
Kammy, I love that Tom. I think he's so cute I may have purchased him the first time around. You created a beautiful table. I love all the colors and Pfaltzgraff Village screams autumn to me too.
Nice job on the table. I love the Turkey flasher. Thanks for stopping by and visiting.
Looks great! Thanks for visiting my Tablescape too!
LOL!! What great finds!! You are lucky...I love the flatware especially. Beautiful table!
Very cute. I think you have much better thrift shops than I have around here. I used to have the blue dishes like your brown ones. My mom had the brown. Your table looks great. Thanks for visiting me today.
I really enjoy your blog and nominated you for a blog award here: http://love-2-create.blogspot.com/2009/11/thank-you.html :o)
Wow, you have amassed a wonderful collection of Pfaltzgraff dishes...it is such fun to find a pattern you like and them go searching for more to complete the set!
Your fall table is warm and inviting. (I have the same blue-green Libbey goblets.)
Have a great weekend!
Hi Kammy! Thanks for visiting my blog. Wow, what a wonderful thrift store you have, you've found some real treasures. I love treasure hunting too and by the way I love!!! Tom. It was nice to meet you, please come and visit again soon.

Better not let Two-Timing Peggy catch a glimpse of Tom or she might turn into Three-Timing Peggy. LOL! Love your dishes. Your table looks gorgeous.
Took the day off. Cleaned the kitchen and moved a few things around. Painted a red tray black but John came in from the garage and told me he messed it up. He decided he wanted to paint it too. I will look at it tomorrow and see what he has done. :-) Can't leave things alone. LOL

Fun and beautiful I want to sit there and have dinner, MB
Will be doing some repainting. LOL It's just an old cheap Christmas red tray I found at work and it's been every where, including on the garage floor.
Yes I love my blackberry. I've had it for a while but still learning new things about it. Are there BB classes??
