I just adore antique hand-stitched, hand-embroidery or laced cloth napkins. A single rose or a small posy adds loads of charm to it


A small posy tied with a thin ribbon easily and beautifully replaces the standard napkin ring giving your tea table a lovely fresh look

Using a Tulle Lace to tie a small flower to a crisp white freshly pressed napkin gives it a sweet, feminine touch

    Pretty napkins have always been a weakness of mine, but it never occurred to enhance the effect with flowers. These are divine!

    Gorgeous place settings. My fav is the pink and lavender with the pink full blown rose.
