Rain and Burlap.



It's my kind of day..

..Rainy..

Since I'm home alone today thought I'd treat the dining table to a new runner.
Love all the linen and burlap(hessian to us aussies)that I've been seeing lately.
Found a big bunch of it at a charity store.
I added a sweet frill,some candles and pretties..



I love it..



Goes nicely with my chair covers that I made out of vintage tablecloths.

Thanks for visiting.xx

    I love what you have done! Do you think that our hessian is a looser weave than burlap? I wasnt sure, I always wondered about that.. Beautiful chair covers too!
    Hope you are having a gorgeous rainy day!!
    hugs, Lauraxx

    Thanks tara. I have been looking EVERYWHERE for a similar fabric , just a little bit softer to the touch maybe. My family are a bit fussy and complain about how scratchy hessian is!! Dont you hate that!!!!
    take care sweetie,
    Lauraxx
