A fruitless search for gold or silver table runners for a holiday cocktail party made me think outside the proverbial “housewares” box. I found long silver and gold scarves at a discount department store (Filene’s Basement) and used those as my runners. They were even nicer than any runner I would have found, and were much less expensive ($10-15 each).
Next time you’re searching for the perfect color/ patterned tablecloth check out the scarf section at any department store. A crisp white tablecloth can be used as the base for any runner, any time of year. Just vary the runner and add a few accessories to customize your table for any occasion. Happy shopping!

great idea, I used once a thin purple curtain that I had bought from wal-mart as table cloth
it had little sparkles on it and it provided such a nice touch of color to the party
