The mission:
Take one plain table…
and turn it into something fancy…
I cannot take full credit for the way the table turned out. A dear friend, Ms. M, offered to help me.
She met me at my house this afternoon, toting the beautiful crystal glasses you can see in the picture above.
Ms. M has a flair for creativity. She took a look at my yarn and dishcloths and turned them into a cute centerpiece. The cloth on the left (picture below) is one she crocheted.
She was also kind enough to turn my napkins into leafy-looking arrangements. They look great with the napkin rings I made.
I’ll post details about the rings tomorrow.
Did you happen to notice the green scarf that I’m using as a table runner? It’s the Branching Out Scarf I made a year and a half ago. You can check out my Ravelry project page for more information.
Now, I thought it would be fun to share photos of some of the other tables. All I can say is WOW! The church has some very imaginative ladies!
The next table has to be one of my favorites. It’s a music theme. I’m posting a picture of the entire table and then a close-up of the centerpiece. Just lovely…
The next table was another of my favorites. It’s dog-themed. The photo after the next one is the centerpiece.
The next table was picnic-themed. Notice the close-up of a familiar visitor?
The next table is beach-themed. I love this table! It’s perfect for my town, which is five miles from the ocean. The table is clean and simple. Ahhh…I can almost smell the saltwater and hear the sea gulls…
The next table is too funny…so typical for Florida, I think…especially south Florida, where I used to live…
One might mistake the flamingo for one of the snowbirds that frequent my state…heeheehee
That concludes your tour of the tables that were decorated when I left the tent at my church. There were still quite a few tables that were bare. I’m sure that by the time I arrive tomorrow, they too will be as lovely as the ones above.
