Tablescape Monday - Forgot the Runner

Between the Naps got me interested to attempt blogging. I'm not a tweeter or blogger but the photos and stories on Between the Naps site was the inspiration.

The interior of my home is decorated for Xmas 2010 with 5 trees, and banister greenery. Yesterday, I went to an estate sale and spent $70. I got home and thought where am I gonna store it? I decided to just display it as my Monday Tablescape and share.

After setting it up I realized - I forgot the silk runner that matches the drapes
