Christmas Burlap project from last year! I thought it would be great to repeat!

Making this Burlap place mats & centerpiece for your Christmas table,

set up, will add to your Holidays Spirit!

Do for Gifts, Decorating And easy Tutorial 
 to do!
Or just because!

Start with Burlap
Cut burlap in a square, for the edges pull off burlap to make frayed edges.

Make it fun!

I had this Burlap Basket from last year, that I bought at Home Goods
I tight it with a red bow around
the top.
And fill with branches from the yard!

This created a lovely center piece!
What do you think?

Add dishes to your tablet decor!

I hand painted this charter plate & wine glass.

The idea is to keep all the colors together

to match the decor!

I used red, green, white & gold.

 

That's it!!! 

 Items:  1.  Burlap  2. Dishware  3. Burlap container or Basket 

4.   Branches from the yard, buy holly from the store,

or cut some branches from your Christmas tree

5. Add your Santa or Christmas item! 

And that's it!

 

I hope you enjoy this Tutorial!

This gorgeous headband is a flapper style

But I have one more to show you!

Fascinator Headdress!
A fascinator is a ladies headpiece that acts as an accent
piece in the hair.  According to British milliner Anuccia,
the feather and flower accessories became popular
in the 18th century as an
eye-catching topper for elaborate to hairstyles
 of the day.
As retro fashion and hats have come back into style,
so have fascinator!

Pin it on your clothes, sash, tote bag, belt, hat, for a dress up look.
Even pin it on a pillow and you can always unpin and wear as a brooch!

Welcome to My Blog!

Can you believe that school has started & in just a few days

would drag & boarding by August

Before you know it ~ We are in Fall projects and then the Holidays.

Here's what I shared this week!

Trying to hold on to these beautiful days & take you to small town

in the center of Milford, Connecticut

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Hubby & I took this  ride on our bike to show

you how beautiful it is in a small town USA.
