    ByMary Crozier November 20, 2018November 20, 2018

    Thank you so much for the feedback on my last post.  Based on consensus, I went with the silver beaded charger~~still surprised I hadn’t thought of it before.  A bit of thistle is stuck into the napkin for color and texture. I was so excited when I made the decision to go silver, but then…
