Another item that I created for my mother-in-law’s Vintage Garden Tea Party last year was this Rag Ribbon Table Skirt:

Over the course of three months I collected fabric from the remnant bins at my local fabric shops and picked up some vintage fabrics at an antique mall in order to create these skirts.

I used everything from quilting cottons to home decor fabrics. I cut them into two inch strips and sewed a one inch seam along the top of each strip, leaving the other edges raw.. It took FOREVER (and wasn’t the most affordable of DIY projects), but the results were well worth it.

They were such a hit, that I was loaning them out for a baby shower just days later! I even used them to spice up my table at my first trunk show!

These table skirts can be made in any color combination to suit any theme.

A couple of years ago I planned a surprise birthday party for my mother-in-law. The theme was Vintage Garden Tea Party. Planning this event got my “hands-on” creative juices flowing. Up until then, I expressed most creativity through writing.

One of my favorite projects that I created for this party was a serving platter made from vintage plates and tea cups.

The original “Vintage Dish”

It was such a hit that I made some to sell at Aqua Seventy6’s very first trunk show.

Here are a few others:

These serving towers dress up any dessert table. I’ve used mine at birthday parties, baby showers, holidays and even at an informal get together.

The only drawback is that they’re pretty heavy and don’t ship well. However, I’d be happy to create one for anyone in the Richmond, VA area. Email me at the address above for pricing information.
