 Small Details for Making an Event Special
Ideas for making occasions memorable abound.  It takes very little 
      extra to make an ordinary event special.  Always follow the 
      philosophy of KISS (keep it simple stupid),  You can entertain with 
      flair without killing yourself. Make ahead menus reduce stress and allow 
      the hostess time to enjoy the guests.
  Flea market finds furnish wonderful pieces of crystal, china, and 
      decorative pieces to use when entertaining.  A set of green sherbets 
      scream St. Patrick's Day. Red goblets can be used for Christmas, Valentine 
      and the Fourth of July.  Never pass up a neat inexpensive vintage 
      specialty item.
 Regardless of the holiday you can always find cookie cutters and make a 
      cookie bouquet. 
       
 Pick up some bonbons and use for a formal dinner.  The ones pictured 
      are Old Foley, James Kent Company, Staffordshire, England.
 
      A recent flea market find is the candy filled epergne nappy pictured at 
      right.
