2ND TIME AROUND AND NIFTY THRIFTY TUESDAYS - A TABLE RUNNER

Thank you Diane at, A Picture is Worth 1000 words, for hosting a great way to share our thrifty finds.

Thank you Linda at, Coastal Charm, for hosting your Nifty Thrifty Tuesdays meme as well.

Please visit Diane and Linda's blogs for some great fun with bargain hunting treasures.

A GOODWILL FABULOUS FIND

That's right, I found this gorgeous handmade table runner for $3.00. Apparently someone made it and never finished the ends. It took me a while to find the right trim and when I did it was less than $5.00. I finally found some time to finish it for the fall season.

The small project needed fabric glue and shears.

One end finished.

Add a centerpiece.

Walla! I love the way it looks.

The flash messed up the painting but the color was washed out when I turned the flash off.

Keep on thrifting and find something awesome at bargain prices.

Love,

JEANNE

It is a winner, Jeanne. I like it. Try standing toward one end of the table to take a photo. Even though it is a different perspective, it might help with the glare.

You did a great job.The last picture was my favorite. It had a sort of ethereal quality. Have a great Tuesday Jeanne.

You are quite the creative lady Jeanne. And frugal as well. I am amazed at some of the beautiful things you find at rock-bottom prices. Your table looks lovely, as always! :)
