Here is what I put together with just paper, ribbon, burlap, twigs, paint, and a vase.
On the table I picked up some hydrangeas from Trader Joe's and I actually used a curtain panel for a center runner. Hey, you gotta use what you have!
Burlap is a great material because you can pull it apart to add things to it. I used some of the remaining ribbon I had to string it through the burlap to create some streamers for above the table.
I'm reminded today how sweet life is!

Stop back again Nellie! Loved seeing your blog!
DeleteStarting your little beans in the soil of love and laughter is a beautiful thing to do. I used the same soil and now have sturdy plants reaching for the sky.
ReplyDeleteOh Susan...that is so kind...I like getting advice from those who know. Beautifully written...your children sound wonderful!
DeleteWhat a beautiful idea for a centerpiece--it fit the theme of the baptism quite perfectly, I thought. Love the hydrangeas, and what a great idea to use a curtain panel as a table runner--smart! Thank you for the kind words at my blog today, Nicole, and yes, the camera is treating me well!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable idea - you can never go wrong with hydrangeas and burlap...love!!
ReplyDeleteThe twig arrangement is really nice Nicole! A baptism is a joyful family event for sure. I have never said this before, but I love the way you refer to your kids as "little beans".
