Picket Fence Table Runner

I MAY'd this picket fence table runner.

I wanted to give my breakfast table a cottage look.

It's from pieces of cut-up leftover picket fence.

 Larry just pried off the back wood strip.

Then I realized that I would need 6 pickets not 4.

Luckily we had another section in the garage.

 I washed them and just laid them on the table.

No painting, 'cuz I'm going shabby chic. I didn't even attach them together,

'cuz I may change my mind....again.

I used my daisy basket as a country garden theme.

Brought home a bunch of fresh daisies,

"Don't you think daisies are the friendliest flower?"...Kathleen Kelly.

Little watering can napkin rings.

 Daisy napkins and placemats are Longaberger.

Yellow and blue Longaberger pottery.

Yellow handled flatware, blue goblets and 

vintage juice glasses finish it off.

The wood pickets make a great serving runner.

It's a natural trivet for hot tea pots.

I then added popcorn kernels to the

 blue votive candle in the old small Ball jar to give it
 a country cottage look.

I love picket fences.

I've used them for headboards, on the patio, on the potting bench, as a cup rack,
and now as a table runner.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
I love to picket !

Cheers!
