My personal party planner, Michaels

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.
