Entertaining Touches: Spring Collection
Springtime Muse

With sweet-scented inspiration all around us in this blossoming season, why not imitate life with this linen interpretation of a rosebud surrounded by foliage? Start with a napkin folded in half to form a triangle. Beginning with the long edge, fold down about 2 inches and continue folding at that width until you reach the point of the triangle. Curl the napkin into a “bud,” then secure the loose end with a pearl-point pin. Lay a folded green linen napkin into a pretty teacup, nestle the rosebud into the “leaves,” and you have a presentation that’s purely poetic.
