Do you want to make an quick, pretty napkin ring for your Christmas table?
I tied this festive Christmas gift tag on some miniature twig wreaths that I bought at a thrift store.
At the time I’d absolutely no idea what I’d do with a plastic bag filled with these wreaths but for 99 cents I couldn’t resist getting them.
So here it is…the easiest home-made napkin ring ever!
Did I tell you?
We’re using this rustic table my Dad made in the kitchen for now.
(You can see this DIY project here)
But after getting a large sliver in my finger I quickly realized that moving it indoors meant that I needed to sand it down and put a clear coat of polyurethane over it
—there’s only so rustic I want my tables to be.
A lot of you asked about these cork-backed placemats that I got at Home Goods. They are heat resistant and have a clear wipe-able top coat on them…user friendly with a sweet message. I love them.

As a side note, last night we were floating on a 55 foot boat in the middle of the Long Beach Marina …
watching the parade of boats go by that were decorated with glowing lights, waving Santas and people like us
… who were staying warm with lots of good wine.
Here we are acting out the famous Titanic moment…
See?
It’s official…
we’re the ‘nerdi-est’ couple you know.
I’m off to do some Christmas shopping.
Hope you’re enjoying your weekend!
