Straw Tablerunner

A loose straw table runner on the front porch?????    Is she crazy?????

Well,   I might be just a little crazy,   but I do have fun being that way....lol!

I have created so many tablescapes over the years using a cloth table runner or a long garland of greenery and flowers that I just wanted something different for this tablescape.

I will admit that a straw tablerunner would work better in the house where there's no breeze,   but I checked the weather forecast for today and I think I'll be ok to use it for a little get together I'm having later this evening.

The table has to be cleared after the party anyway  and it won't take but a little extra time to hand sweep the straw into a bag and save it to use another time.

To make my table runner I bought a bale of straw at Hobby Lobby,   took it apart,    and scattered the straw down the center of my farm table    

Could it get any easier ? 

I wanted to keep the decorations on my table runner simple to keep it the center of attention......

Crystal scales.....boo pumpkins......and a few roosters and hens is all I needed to add to the straw runner for a simple look.

I will serve dinner buffet style on the island in the kitchen.    Everyone can fill their plates in the kitchen and come out to the porch to eat.    

I always enjoy your visits so much,    please come back again soon!
