Table Runners

Maybe it's just me, but I often have a hard time finding table runners that I really like. And I only buy things that I really like. Why spend money on things that you only sort of like?

I remember this past spring I was looking for a light, feminine table runner and could not find anything worth purchasing. Granted, I didn't do an extensive search online (that would've been a good idea - silly that I didn't). But anyways I thought well if I can't find a table runner, then I'm going to go to a fabric store and make my own. And that's exactly what I did. I found the exact fabric that I had envisioned in my mind and took it back home. It worked out perfectly except that the ends aren't finished. One of these days I'll take it to a seamstress to have finished but for now it's good enough for me.

Anywho, I was talking with my lovely future sister-in-law, Trisha, the other day and she had mentioned that she was in search of a table runner. Well, I thought I'm going to do some proper research so that it'll make it easier for people who are looking for one.

Ya know what? There are like a gazillion table runners online! If only I had searched online. You would think I would've thought of surfing the web seeing as how I am a web designer by day. Ah, ya live and ya learn right?

Below are just a few (more than a few, really) examples I came across that I think are definitely worth purchasing. Heck, I might even buy one myself!
