This is some good ole fashioned entertaining, but of course in typical junk style fashion!
This is my fab find.  Isnt she a vision in white?  She was just looking to get all gussied up and was so ready to party!
This handy little tin serves as a great plate and napkin holder.  It wasnt junk but it was clearance at a craft store so it was dirt cheap.
Some junk finds: the pie plate stand, the planter pot now used for the pretzel fresh bread, a vase for the bread sticks, garage sale basket.  It is way more fun to repurpose items when entertaining, isnt it?
I have a thing for cigar boxes.  I turned this one into a purse, but I used it to serve my flat bread on this day, which is a lot more fun when entertaining.
I found a half dozen of these tin bowls and got them all for $1.00!  I will affectionately call this a bowl full of fun! Sue, I threw in a little white wine in honor of you!
I also have a thing for metal and wire, which is kind of ironic.  Growing up, I had braces TWICE!  So the whole metal mouth just didnt jive with me.  Well, at least I have straight choppers now!

There is nothing better than entertaining with friends.  This whole display was featured around my latest fab find.  Check out the white, chippy table!  I love the shape of it!  And, it was only $5!  I hit the Junkpot!

And, the door is always open. Y'all can come on down here anytime. (insert the worst southern accent b/c I was born and bred outside of Boston)
All my best,
