My Favorite Way to Set a Table and My *# Birthday!

 

Table Runner Ideas - quick & easy way to get a unique look for your table for next to nothing! kellyelko.com

A few weeks ago, I turned *#.

So I invited best friends over to celebrate – because turning *# is definite cause for celebration!

It was a Kelly’s Favorite Things dinner …

my hubby whipped up margaritas, poured red wine, grilled filet mignon, roasted potatoes and brussels sprouts with bacon and finished with chocolate eclairs from my favorite local bakery.

 

Another favorite thing – a festive table.

So I unrolled some wrapping paper, added colorful napkins and a bunch of tulips – done.

I snapped some cell phone pics because who has time to break out a big camera when margaritas are waiting?

Love this table setting - the runner is gorgeous! kellyelko.com

What could be better?

 

P.S. I may be *# but I don’t feel a day over $@.
