The weather is perfect for picnics. There is nothing like cooking outdoors. The fresh air and fireflies are perfect dinner companions. This summer why not plan a homemade picnic right down to the napkin rings. Bake some fresh bread, gather some ears of corn from your local farmer, slice open a ripe melon from your garden and let the fun begin. I love collecting vintage tableware and linens for our picnics. These easy napkin rings are the perfect complement. They are so fast to make you could create several sets in various color combinations to stash away.
