Question Not Gardening Related...

Cat Whiskers above.....Garlic Chives below...
You all know that I am up to my neck with wedding plans......and such. I am trying to find the least expensive plain white 90" round table linens...any ideas? After a while my eyes go a little crossed reading so much info on the internet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today I am Thankful to be able to browse stores and compare prices from the comfort of my home.

Your flowers are pretty! This is the cheapest Table Cloth I found on eBay.

I would try Amazon and overstock.com. When I was looking for cloths of that size I ended up renting them. They are hard to find and I'm sure you probably have already looked at these 2 sites. I did find some at an online linen store but don't remember who it was that had them but they were too expensive to buy since I probably wouldn't use them again. Good luck.

We had to rent my daughter's back in December. It was expensive but I have to say that they were beautiful. Do you have the runner to roll out for the Bride to walk on yet or are you doing that?

Darla's beautiful flowers.

Bed sheets cut into circles,lol
what about the beds? = holes for the toes to pop thru.

Funny, I just took some pics of white cat's whiskers and white garlic chive blooms too, and I'm not thinking about white tablecloths:) Hope you find a good source soon. Sorry I have no input as to where.

Lovely blooms Darla. I think looking around the net that ebay seems the best price, not sure of quality though. It sounds like this will be a top wedding with all the energy you are putting in to it.

LOVE all your flower pictures.

I don't know about the linens, but I know when I was planning there were a lot of people on Craiglist buying and selling. Also, Weddingbee has a classified section where people are selling all kinds of stuff second-hand ... maybe check there?

Just became a new follower! :)

I can't help you. I stay waaaaay away from anything white around here. We live on a farm and it wouldn't stay that way long. LOL
Love those cat wiskers!!

Darla Dear, Not long ago I was looking for a flannel back table cloth and found the best deal was to buy it by-the-yard at JoAnn Fabrics. Of course for you this would mean measuring and hemming but if you're desperate this might be just the trick. Good luck!

As an addition to Grace's comment, if you don't sew, iron on hem tape is a wonderful thing.

Tatyana@MySecretGarden said...

Know nothing about cloths, but picturing you with your eyes crossed, sitting in front of the computer made me laugh. Renting is not a bad idea...
Darla, good luck to you!

Jake said...

I was like, "Wow, she has a white Society Garlic!". Are they related in anyway?

Betsy Banks Adams said...

Oh Darla, Sounds like you have gotten some good ideas... I can't help you a bit... I would probably RENT them if I could find them.. Good Luck!

Beautiful flowers.
Hugs,
Betsy

Meow to your cat whiskers! Renting the table clothes may be the way to go. Check with a local hotel with restaurant and see if they may let you borrow some for a reasonable price. You could suggest out of town guest stay at this hotel as well for maybe a trade off….

Kimberly said...

Have you checked with a local rental company? I usually rent tables, clothes and skirts for events.

Love your cats whiskers!

Les Pat said...

The Cat Whiskers look almost like a flower we have in my area called "Whirling Butterflies". I thought they might be the same and looked them up. They're not.

Anyway..., they're beautiful.

Thanks.

I can't help you a bit with your quest, but I can keep you in my prayers.
