My mom, no exaggeration, probably has about 20 sets of placemats, napkins, and tablecloths.  Every holiday or event at my parents’ house has a different extravagent table setting inspired up by my mom.  I get random texts every once in a while out of the blue saying things like “what do you think about putting the ______ placemats with the ______ plate chargers?”  She is seriously hilarious and super creative.  For Father’s Day she folded the napkins like neckties and used folded up newspaper as a psuedo placemat.  When we were at ikea the other day she bought a bunch of small ramekins (with the butter in them) and she HAD to use them, I know it was eating her up inside with the same anxiousness I get when I’ve bought a new outfit.  The last touch was glasses we got from Royal Carribbean when we all went on a cruise together a few months ago, to make the table a little more fun.

Isn’t it adorable?!  She comes up with the cutest things .

*note: if you want to recreate this table, make sure to use a dark colored tablecloth!  It you use a light one the ink might rub off of the newspaper and stain it.
