Hello all! I haven't had much time to get all the decor back in storage, so I'll just share with you our three days of feasting!
Christmas Eve GRAZING TABLE- NO COOKING!
Christmas Day DINNER TABLE-FILIPINO FEAST MENU
New Year's Eve FINGER FOODS PICNIC by candlelight and snow...
This was my tablescape for my Christmas Day Dinner; simple but ready for any type of dining.
Now on to some awesome deals!
We went to Kroger tonight and noticed their 75% off deals for their Holiday items. In one aisle, big discount signs shouted the deals waiting ahead, so naturally, my hubby and I, partook. Well... I guess their own people didn't know what those signs meant since only 1 of these three were on sale correctly! We had to call in the manager twice to figure out what I already knew- I was right, they were not! In the end, we got our money back and sincere apologies. What else could a girl want, right? :-D
$5 for this 7-cup votive holder...
$5 for this V-day ready tablecloth...
and $7 for this game my family's been requesting... Woohoo!!!
I just love getting a good deal, don't you? Oh yeah, I also got $20 worth of FREE clothes, off their many clearance racks, from Kohl's with their Buy $50 get $10 back promo back in late December. Gave them the $20 Kohl's Cash voucher and saved over $60 to boot!
Tablescaping Idea: ("Brain" is lobe-to-lobe smiling) Since year end holidays seem to have one thing in common, cold weather ahead, use colors that can be extended to at least two of the holidays. You save money, time and effort in coming up with original ideas.
Thank you all for coming by! To our lovely hosts, a million thank yous...
OMG Chandy! Is that you? You finally came. Happy New year to you and your family and I am hoping this year will be more relaxing for you. I love your casual extended partying tables, sounds so Filipino, lol. I miss that!....Christie
ReplyDeleteAll three of your tablescapes were so pretty. I love finding treasures at good prices also. Thank you for sharing your tips.
ReplyDeleteHi Chandy!

Found you at Leigh's. Loved your post-Christmas goodies! Well done! = )

Chandy, I hope you and all your family had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Your tables all look wonderful and full of fabulous food too. Great bargains, good for you. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteHi Chandy! Your tables are beautiful, but I had to smile because I do the same thing just opposite.. I do a bigger, more formal dinner on Christmas Eve, then just a buffet "Serve Yourself" buffet for Christmas Day!.. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, and I'm wishing you all the best for 2010! ~tina
ReplyDeleteWhat a way to start the new year~it would be such a special treat to sit at your table.
ReplyDeleteI would surely have to wear elastic pants as the food looks SO good.
Great feasts, tablescapes and deals...I love a good deal too !
ReplyDeleteAfter Christmas, I decorate with snowmen, snowflakes, blues, whites and silvers on my table...takes me all the way to Valentine's Day when I break out hearts, flowers, pinks, reds and gold.
Chandy (jumping up and down)!!! I have missed you!!!! Hope all is well!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful feast you prepared. I'd love to be a guest at any of them!
Fabulous thrifty deals! Not only the tablecloth is V Day ready, but the votive holder. Its shaping up for a good night! Smile.
Thanks, friend, for linking up to Thrifty Thursday on Tales from Bloggeritaville! Great thrifty treasure!

Love the tablescapes! I also got some good deals from Kroger's. Some decorated salad plates were 31 cents each! Nice!
ReplyDeleteLooks like some mighty good holiday on your tablescape! Love those deals -- glad that you were able to get the right prices.
ReplyDeleteNice deals at Kroger! I stop by there as well and picked up some Christmas glasses for only .40 cents each. People always forget to check their local grocery for good after the holiday sales!
ReplyDeleteOh Goodness! I love the no cook idea! Looks like so much family fun!
