I realize that they make a prettier picture when they are actually clean.
I then found a dark emerald green (not translating very well in the picture) valance. I will sew the 2 pieces together to make the runner for the main table. I am undecided if I should leave it as it is or try and find another valance that I can add on both ends in order to run the length of the table. That table is long! 18 feet. A little hard to try and cover.
The best part. Everything was half off today! My total for the 10 vases and the valances was a mere $8.00! I suppose that I do not really have to stick on such a frugal budget since I will be reimbursed, but it is so much more fun trying to make things look nice on a budget. Besides, it really is a waste of money since it is only for one meal.
I will head to the farmer's market to see what flowers they will have for me to use. I am thinking of two possibilities for arrangements. One would use hosta leaves to line the inside of the vases. The other would use colorful, small fruit to fill the bottom of the vase with the flowers on top. I would use cranberries, kumquats, or something like that. OK, the wheels have finally begin to turn. I will report more as I make progress.
