Pig Napkin Rings

Many years ago – ok, three years ago – I went out on my very first date with my husband. He took me to a fantastic upscale Southern restaurant, Jackson 20. The food is excellent, but what I love is that they have these really fun, really heavy-weight, pig napkin rings. About a year ago, I got it in my head that I would like some of my own, but didn’t buy any.

What did I find underneath the Christmas tree this year? Eight little perfect pigs – in the form of napkin rings! Expect to see these guys gracing future S&B posts. You can find some for your own home on eBay or antique websites.

July 4th Snack Bar

Independence Day is just around the corner! A snack bar is a great way to get creative and celebrate with your friends and family.

For ours, we did a mix of things: decadent whoopie pies, juicy summer strawberries, cold root beer, and light-as-air cheddar popcorn.

Grab your favorite snacks, choose some festive decorations, and set yourself up for a great day!
