Lucky Me!
Why am I lucky?
My future mother-in-law just happened to have a bunch of old milk bottles lying around (score!), which she so nicely packed up and shipped to me.
There just happens to be a bush/weed/slightly ugly tree down by the lake at Chickesaw gardens, that just happens to have the exact type of branches that I was looking for. And what do you know, we walk by there all the time, so before one of our walks I remembered to grab the hedge trimmers.
Michael's just happened to have a huge bag of raffia on sale.
Ta-da! Our centerpieces. I was a bit worried that they'd look a little bit too country, or too rustic, but I am very pleased with the results.

they are to die for.
Make sure you look out for me this week, as I need to go back to that ugly tree to snip some more of its branches. I'll be the girl with a tall guy, a big German shepherd, and a little bity beagle.
I am always scared that the Chickesaw security will stop me and chastise me for stealing branches.
these are simply beutiful. You truly took this pattern and made it your own! wonderful!

I bought the paper at Michael's, I guess in what you'd call the scrapbooking section, you know where they sell the invidual sheets? It's a fairly thick paper, and I just chose 2 slightly different shades of yellow.
