Hi, I’m glad you are here.
I hope to inspire you to create a welcoming, budget-friendly, table setting for your next gathering.
I believe that every table can be adorned on a budget and easily changed to suit your mood. I love ALL table linens and crafts, and own SO many tablecloths (I could never own too many, haha).
I would love for you to join me in setting a beautiful table on a budget.
