For an annual salad supper the women of my church host, I planned the tablescape for one of the tables. There were about ten tables all done up in different themes. As usual we had a huge budget of $000.oo to work with so I decided to order some plates I had seen in Polly's Store at Counting Your Blessings. I thought about a......
red and white theme but ultimately decided on a
a black and white theme.
I tied the chairs with a wide grosgrain ribbon
used a chic gray plastic tablecloth with a black plastic runner.
White vases seem to multiply in the church cupboards

so a couple of bunches of daisies filled a bunch of vases.

Add a mirror for a little anchor and
a table favor of Psalms tied with vintage seam binding and presto our table was done. The simple table setting filled up quickly with all the "fun" people and we had a wonderful time!

Love the way you decorated. I have done quite a bit of table decorating through the years at churches where we have served. We usually had the same budget you did and it's fun to be creative.

That's an awfully nice table for $0.00! The daisies reminded me of my childhood -- my mom and I picked armloads of wild daisies to put on the table at my first Communion breakfast. :)
