Ya Ya Sisterhood table-Let me tell you how we did it!

We started out first with a plain white tablecloth. Next we stretched a net purchase at Micheals over it then we put down white garbage bags in the center on top of this. We poured out play sand purchased from Lowes out in the center of the table and nestled random seashells in this. The bamboo placemats, the blue rocks pilled up around the plates,the glasses and the pearl looking shells were all purchased from the dollar tree! (for all of you familiar with this store) The arrangement in the center of the table was made from placing one small glass vase inside a larger one and filling the space between with small shells. The bundle of grass was purchased at walmart for $3.oo with the exception of the pampas grass cut from Teressa's yard after she sprayed it with hairspray so it would hold up. The shell covered candles and lanterns were purchased at Bealls. For those of you not familiar with this store, it is along the same lines as TJ maxx. The best purchase on the entire table was made by Teressa at Bealls and this was the large shell candleholders beside the arrangement. They were on clearance for 75 cents a piece!! Teressa thought they were so ugly but beauty is in the eye of the beholder and they fit in perfectly with our theme. We only had an hour to set up our table. All of this goes to show that you don't have to have a lot of money or time to put together something very elegant!
