Napkin fold throwdown! (...Think Bobby Flay*)
(*I think I watch far too much Food Network.)
I've said before that I think Cindy and I are kindred spirits. A week or so ago, she shared her napkin ring (ribbon) idea and asked us to share ours as well. I'm up for the challenge. (Better late than never, I hope.)
I have a few that I had pictures of from table scapes I've done in the past. (you might remember them) There are the always "so-easy-but-looks-just-so-charming" napkin in in a cup...
or a glass...
And here is a link for making your napkins look like a rose. If you fold several this way, you could put them all in a basket at a buffet. How cute would that be? Some pink, a few green...I am gonna have to try this idea!
Speaking of table scapes, if you're a Rosanna dishes fan, you just may want to head on over to their site and enter this contest they have going. It's a table scape contest, and you must use some of their dishes, which wouldn't be a stretch, 'coz they're so cute!
Oh, love your ideas. I have a book on napkin folding. I think husband thinks I'm crazy for thinking that I need to own such a thing!

The plate pictured in the top photo is a really old piece from Ballard Designs. I bet you can find very similar pieces at Marshall's or TJ Maxx.

I love those pictures. Yours is one of my favorite blogs to read when I'm down.
Although still married, my life has not turned out like I ever thought it would, either.
Faith works. :)

Hi Tracey!
Lovely napkin pictures.
I'm catching up and see that you are Ms. Happy Pants every single minute of every single day. My, my, my....
I still think you are amazing though. You are not only talented but a very kind soul.
Grief is not a straight line. It has many curves, up and downs. Let your self feel what it needs to in order to heal.
I'm happy that your blog helps with the whole process because it is a wonderful one!
