I think most of you know by now that I love a good bargain. Well, as most of us do before the holidays, I had been running around like a chicken with my head cut off, and realized in the 11th hour that my table clothes were uber-boring and had minor stains.<\/div>\n

I went to the fabric store for another project and found this fabric in the remnants pile for $5\/yd. I loved how unexpected the grey and cream would be. I bought some red grosgrain ribbon to add around the hem to make it a bit more festive. After going to several cleaners and receiving quotes as high as $80 to hem two tablecloths, I decided 1.) I need a sewing machine and 2.) how much I love my mother-in-law. Since she was here without her sewing machine, I bought some no-sew hem tape<\/a> and Grammy attached the ribbon on Christmas Eve morning and had it at the house just in the nick of time to set the table.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I didn’t have time to go to the flower market, so I used a mixture of whatever I could scoop up from Wegman’s and Costco. I added cranberries to the vases of all of the arrangement for a festive touch.<\/div>\n

I love the look of fresh fruit in floral arrangement. Just buy a pack of wooden skewers and pop the fruit on top.<\/div>\n

My Christmas color palette is red, cream and apple green. It goes so well with my decor.<\/div>\n

Remember these vases<\/a>? They were reused here.<\/div>\n

I used pomegranates as place card holders. Not only is it my favorite fruit, but it has significant religious meaning<\/a> and is thought to bring good luck.<\/div>\n
