Sometimes, when we are preparing to entertain, figuring out how to present our offerings can be frustrating! Simple tables are really the most appealing and can be created with unique objects and serving items. Thrift stores can be a treasure trove for finding serving pieces for your table. There is usually many glass items, such as vases, serving bowls and plates. Big box hardware stores can supply some creative items for the table, such as wood scraps, which can be used for cheese trays and potted herb plants for centerpieces.
