party decorations

table runner used on kitchen table, island, and entry table

new burlap pillows (initially thought to have a "j" on one and a "c" on the other, but then i decided to keep them.

burlap ruffles.  also under the fire place mantel.

mantel not finished, there were several pictures added to the mantel plus white hydrangeas and 3 tissue balls hanging from the ruffles

i can't find the original pic of this, but it is a complete re-do.  i painted the frame, covered the inside with 2 different fabrics (one black & white polka-dots, the other burlap), and ruffled up a "t".

entray table almost complete.  imagine white hydrangeas in my favorite vase.

tissue balls, thanks to Martha Stewart for the instructions!

burlap and doily banner

mangel changed out for baby shower (and notice the tissue balls that were up for both parties)

Wade and I threw an engagement party for my sister at the end of January, and 2 weeks later a baby shower for a friend in February.  I wanted to keep the same decorations for both parties, and I happen to have an obsession with burlap and lace.  Unfortunately, I did not take any pics the day of either party (they were all taken either while I was still working on them, or after the parties were over) so just imagine everything with more framed pictures, and lots and lots of white hydrangeas!  I loved all the decorations so much!
