Thanksgiving: Folding Napkins, Dining Elegance!

Photograph by Karen WithakI cannot believe it is Thanksgiving already!  Things here have been so busy that the whole holiday just kind of "snuck up" on me.  Jon and I went to the store today to buy some holiday supplies (he is making garlic mashed potatoes and I am creating stuffing with sausage, apples, and cranberries!)  

I was going to post some holiday origami for the kids, but I wanted to try something different.  I absolutely love it when I go anywhere and napkins are folded into origami -- it gives it such a wonderful flourish!  So I thought what better way to ring in the season than to share some tips for Turkey Day napkin folding.  Folding napkins can either be really easy or really difficult depending on what method you are using, but in general it is pretty simple to make beautiful creations in only a few seconds.  I found this helpful video to get you started.  (The fan fold seems especially appropriate for Thanksgiving!)
