Deleting Blank Table Borders

In building my Home (Welcome) page (you can see it at http://www.marshadowshenpottery.com/pottery ),
I put the two single images into a table so I could position them side by side (actually used a three column table). Now there is a residual border of empty cells above them. How can I get rid of the borders…. Or better yet, is there a way to place the two single images below the type, side-by-side, without using a table?
