We all believe in the wedding tradition... something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. In these times of economic cut backs, recycle, reuse and sustainability, good design and creativity don't have to take a hit! Aren't we all making attempts to green our lives... at least a little?...These days it's about being creative and working with what you have. I'm a fabric collector and have been for years. I have upholstery weight and drapery pieces that are beautiful. I even have locally made fabric I collected on a trip to Africa 20 years ago this May. Occasionally I drape a table or buffet with them. Now is the perfect opportunity to take this much loved fabric collection and see what I can come up with. I'm headed to a few thrift shops to see what's available for repurposing... recycling and reusing....I hope to report back later today, if not ....tomorrow.

Use What You Have
In this time of cutting back and frugal living for many of us, I purposed I would not spend one dime on decorating for an afternoon tea for a few ladies. I would simply...
use what I have.
After all, I know I can really make a room or any event happen with a fairly reasonable budget...but how about no budget? The only funds to be spent would be for food. Isn't that the most important part when a few long time girlfriends get together?...good food...good company.
I started looking around and found a few items in the living room and transfered them to the buffet. As you can see I'm not a girl that's shy about color so everything works well for the Christmas season and my chili red dining room walls.... now what am I going to do for the food?
Most of these items I've collected over the years and haven't spent a lot of money doing it.
I decided to get daring this summer and paint the walls red
