Since just about everything I own dish-wise is blue, it really never got used and just surfaced while searching for the tablecloth I always use for Thanksgiving. outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-1530019820874893082015-11-23T17:57:53.427-08:002015-11-23T17:57:53.427-08:00Thanks Donna!

The contorted filbert creates great interest and the berries play well off the hydrangea. I like the darker fabric as it doesn't detract from the centerpiece as the louder fabric does. :-)Eliza Watershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06879335295393594236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-75316259344303335932015-11-23T12:06:22.412-08:002015-11-23T12:06:22.412-08:00Your hasty is better than my thought-about-for-day...Your hasty is better than my thought-about-for-days-and-reworked-several-times.
