Harvest Table Decoration

By Sylvia Britton | November 3, 2009 |

Do you decorate your home for Autumn?  I just love the Autumn colors, and I like to bring those colors into my home to add warmth and beauty.  I begin in September full of anticipation and hope that the trees in Clarksville will provide a gorgeous show of color.  Then, I bring that color into my home with inexpensive, easy decorating ideas.

These little gourd candle holders are easy and look great sitting on my dining room table or across the mantle. They’re easy to make; my 11 year old had a great time making them and didn’t want to stop.  They are inexpensive too.  One bag of those little gourds costs about $5 at local markets.  You could split the cost with a friend and both have several gourds to make into candle holders for your Thanksgiving table. «Read the rest of this article»

How-to: Reupholster a kitchen chair

By Julie Suzanne Capouch | October 10, 2009 |

Does this picture look familiar to you? Stained, dirty kitchen chair cushions that will not come clean not matter how much you try. Perhaps your chair cushions sport an outdated pattern that you’d rather leave back in the eighties. Maybe you have redecorated your kitchen or dining room and found that your chairs are bland in comparison.

Whatever your reason for wanting a change, reupholstering kitchen chair cushions is a quick and inexpensive way to bring new life to your kitchen. It only takes about 30 minutes, and is so easy; you’ll be wondering why you didn’t do it sooner.

Supplies Needed:

• Choice of Fabric (apx. 1/2 yard x 1/2 yard per chair)
• Scissors
• Staple Gun
• Screw Driver
• Iron
• Foam Stamps (optional)
• Acrylic or Fabric Paint (optional)

Sunday’s International Festival proved to be a fun-filled day of festive atmosphere, savory aromas, and cultural interchanges! The myriad of booths with wares of all kinds and foods presented the eager festival guests with a cornucopia of delights to indulge.

Along with the many foods on hand, artisans and crafters also provided ample reasons to dig into the hip pocket or purse and part with some cash. From hand-milled soaps to beautiful Cedar wood bowls and woodcarvings, there was plenty to see and ogle. And we mustn’t forget the music. Music was steady! Serenades, drums, guitar and singing, make no mistake, this is a festival that celebrates joyful sounds!
