GETTING READY FOR A SPECIAL DINNER PARTY

We are getting ready to celebrate two very special friends and their "big" birthday.  The invitations went out about a week ago.

I am so excited to be able to have that celebration at our house!  So this week will be dedicated to getting ready for a fun dinner party.  

The first thing on order is to plan the table setting - beginning with the napkin rings.  Have you ever searched "napkin rings" on Pinterest?  I hadn't either.  In fact, I didn't even know if anything would come up under that search, but Pinterest is loaded with all kinds of great ideas - even for napkin rings. What a great way for people to develop their own collections of ideas and share them with people all over the world.  

Here are just some of the ideas I saw.  Now to narrow it down, take my favorite part of each, and make my own version.  Tomorrow I'll have a post showing what I came up with for this part of our dinner party.  Any ideas to add?  Either leave a comment or send me an email with a favorite one that you've made - I'd love to add it to the collection!

Burlap and buttons - great combination!

I love this too!  The buttons look like little slices of a tree branch, and the fabric looks like spring.

  I love the pairing of rustic burlap and the sparkle of rhinestones.

These would be easy to make.

Chalkboard paint and twine on a store bought napkin ring.

A lot of work - but so pretty - all those antique buttons!

I'm sure this idea could be integrated into a napkin ring . . .

I really like these!  They could be personalized for any occasion.

And last of all, these, from my Inspiration File Friday a few weeks ago.  I still love these and the way each one is so different.

So, you know what I'll be doing today!   Tomorrow . . . photos of what I came up with.

(Remember,  I'd love to add your photos to this post!)
