While out running errands, I just had this
feeling I should stop by Michaels, and I'm so glad I did. I got so many great ideas for that fall bridesmaids luncheon I will be hosting, and I got a few goodies for the luncheon as well as something just for me!
These 7-inch tall silk flowers were regularly $9.99 each, but they were on sale for 60 percent off so I got three to decorate a food table, or perhaps the tea trolley. I'm still compiling ideas, but I know I want "vintage" and "burlap" to play a role, so these will be perfect.
And I had decided the other day that I wanted to make a banner to welcome the bridesmaids. I was mourning the fact that I used to have a teapot chalkboard but sold it at a yard sale. This 10-inch tall teapot chalkboard was at Michaels for just $3 and will be perfect to go with the banner I'm planning. The chalkboard will say "Welcome" and the banner will spell out "BRIDESMAIDS" in teapot shapes with letters on them. I can't wait to make it! Meanwhile, could you have passed up a $2 canvas zippered bag with a teacup on it? Me neither.
Cute, cute! Love the chalkboard teapot. I'm sure this will be a very special bridesmaids' luncheon.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I bet you won't sell the chalkboard this time!!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! I had a *feeling* I should go to Michael's on my lunch hour today and I squashed it, I need to learn to go with my feelings! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOK - I think Michaels opens early tomorrow morning! I gotta have a teapot chalkboard too! Very cute idea with white roses and writing on burlap. Can't wait to see your pics for that special tea bridal teaparty!
ReplyDeleteI love what you are beginning to pull together for this fall tea event. Very special finds at Michaels for sure!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure this will be a wonderful bride's maid luncheon.
ReplyDeleteYou clearly have NOT lost your tea shopping super powers!
