For inexpensive place cards:
Use free clipart from Graphics Fairy on cardstock. An old trick of the teaching trade is to outline with a magic marker. Just run your marker along the edge and it creates an automatic border.
Attach to a pine cone from the front yard, and there you have an almost free place card.
- tablecloth is a curtain
- Pier 1 pillow bought at GW for $2
- dishes, well can you spell C-H-E-A-P?
- Wal Mart $1 plates
- Wal Mart .88 stemware
- bottom plates are from my everyday set
- leave plates bought on clearance last year for .50
- feathers and brown cattails added to faux greenery (Not exactly what I want but, something I didn't have to purchase.)
- rest of the items were shopped from the house

I have to tell you that this is the prettiest table I have seen any where! I LOVE the feathers and cattails...and how you use a curtain for the table cloth, a great idea! It's all just so beautiful! :D
ReplyDeleteVery, Very Lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so pretty. What a good idea to use a curtain for a table cloth. I will have to copy that some time because I can never find a table cloth that I really like.
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful, Tammy. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

Hello dear Tammy,
