For The Birds Table Setting for Four

Here is a table setting I created the other night when we had some friends over for dinner and board games. The "table cloth" isn't really a table cloth at all, it's actually a bead spread from Urban Outfitters that I got for a cheap $10 about two years ago. In fact , I think that I have only ever used it as a table covering! I got the place mats from the Dollar Tree, and everything else is pretty much either from Ikea or from Target. ( Gotta love it!)

I wasn't really sure about the mix of plum in with the blue and the green, but I quite like how it turned out! 

There's nothing like going over to a friends house for a run of the mill dinner only to find a little fanciness ( is that a word? It is now!) injected into the everyday hum-drum of life! 

Why be plain? Insert some fun and mix it up!!

Napkin Folding

So, I found this wonderful book at Borders for a cheap 4 dollars!! It contains MANY napkin folds. I hadn't really done the whole cloth napkin thing before when I had guests over, but now every time someone comes over for dinner it is my time to show off! 

Here are some of my favorites!

This one is called pinwheel

This one is called fire!

ice cream cone....so cute for a neopolitan soiree!

Lover's knot (wink wink)

You've got mail....the envelope fold

The diamond fold...this one wasn't as hard as it looked

It takes very little to please and amuse me. This book and my cloth napkins kept me entertained on a rainy Saturday afternoon..AND I learned something new!
