On Saturday night we (Greg and I – no kids!) went to a dinner party with some of our greatest friends. The Kouz’s hosted us for a lovely meal along with Darin and Erin McChids. Greg, Darin & Alex grew up together in PV and have been great friends since they were little tikes, we all still get together for dinners, parties and even little getaways as often we can. Thankfully all the wives get along as well!

Kristen put together a beautiful table setting complete with a centerpiece of sticks collected by their son Nicholas, a master collector! To add to the lovely table she had some very cool chargers that looked like birds nests. Hers had some cute little birds and a taller vase, but we gave it a try at home, and I think it is a nice little vignette on the counter. So go out on a stick hunt in the neighborhood, rummage through your kids little things and ta-da, an absolutely free update to your table. Happy collecting…
