I love the way your table looks too, but there are so many flowers blooming in spring, I just can’t bring myself to use silk flowers, the real ones seem to inspire me, even the knock out roses blooming in my yard paired with a little hydrangea or alone look beautiful ! My burlap runner came out great, and since I use shells for my ornaments, I used those on my runner. I’m debating using burlap under chair rail, using staple gun, I read somewhere to use liquid starch, has anyone tried this?

Tilisa,
That’s too funny, that you get my cloth napkin collection. There are so many pretty colors and styles out in the stores, and I love how they dress up a table. Thanks again and Happy Spring to you!

Marjan,
Ah, thanks for your lovely comment and your visit! I hope you can enjoy your dining room table one of these days. But, I know what you mean about craft supplies finding a home everywhere! I so want a little studio in our backyard. Someday, my dream will come true!

Ah, thanks so much Fiona!

Hi Melony,
Ah, thanks! You’re so sweet to visit my blog and I love your comments! I do enjoy using unusual things when decorating.
Too funny about my “About page” photo, I just looked at it since I couldn’t remember what photo I placed on it. If you look closely I was struggling with the pie crust and my photographer was documenting everything as it was happening! The real world is more interesting sometimes!

Hi Susanne,
Thanks so much for your visit and your lovely comment. The burlap makes a nice base for another fun printed table runners. I was surprised how easy it is to make and also washing it was not too difficult. Pleasantly surprised it didn’t unravel too much! Good luck and let me know how yours comes out.
