Table Skirt and Vietri Steals

Months ago I decided I was going to incorporate a box pleated table skirt in the family room and began my typical hunt online. Boxed pleats are actually really hard to find and the closest I found to my vision was on Etsy for a whopping $320.00. This included fabric but my total cost to have this made was roughly 1/4 of this.

Two of my best friends' moms in Raleigh had sent me to a lady who had retired from sewing as she'd had hand surgery, and I am so glad I asked her about anyone else in the area who could make a table skirt.

Mary Sherron stepped in and created this beautiful piece for me. She was horrified when she saw the fabric was cream but I assured her I  had a white dog and couldn't choose anything with a lot of color.

I think mine came out just as nice as Etsy one, if not better!

So excited to have one more project wrapped up!

Etsy inspiration - very pretty but out of my price range

Because I  never registered for fine china, (I was lucky enough to persuade my mom to share her massive set with me),  I decided it was okay to splurge on a couple of extra Vietri pieces for entertaining purposes. They were also 25% off!

Isn't it beautiful? Love the gold edge

I thought these were fun and am considering the chargers too!
