We're setting with mugs and placemats this week. the rains have made the strawberries too late for a strawberry orgy, so I thought I'd go a bit casual.
Janette, if you cantake a break from the move, you can sit here. A cup from Oz and a chook for a napkin ring.


Alwen, didn't you fall in love with this plate? And the mug is a sort of pale malachite shade - a nice complement to the pearly grey napkin.

Heide, your napkin ring is mother of pearl because you have three little pearls to mother. And a mug I bought at a local craft fair because I just had to have it. You know how that goes.

Amy, Greens and terrible tom-cats for you.

Benita, a hand-woven placemat and salvaged silver fork napkin ring.

Tim, Even if you don't knit, you're welcome to sit in. A little exotica for the newly retired, soon to be ramblin' man.

Knit-tech, the Chinese dragon mug because it' s bold and strong, just like you.

Lucia, I remembered your elegant french cats for a not-so-crazy cat lady.

Dave, this one's for you -hand knitted and felted napkin ring with decorative buttons,and a hand-sewn napkin(By LG - thanks again!). For Meister handverk!

The gingerbread's baked, the oatmeal cookies are cooling, I bought a package of maple-syrup cream sandwich cookies because I love them and when else can I get away with it? Maggie is bringing fruit salad, and the eggs peeled nicely, so we have deviled eggs. Made with dry mustard. A qualified success. I may make a few cheese sandwiches just to stretch things out a bit. Other than that, we won't have a thing to eat.
