I set a mean table

I'm not much of a cook (yet) so I try to distract my guests with a fussy table. It's one of my gay super-powers. I can't help it. Favorite place-cards I've created include:
  • Oranges with guests' names spelled out in cloves inserted into the rind. (In Snell Roundhand of course.)
  • Autumn oak leaves stamped with guests names.
  • Miniature juniper trees potted in personalized terracotta pots that I painted and lettered.
  • Snow globes with a photo of each guest inserted into the globe as a backdrop.
  • Clear glass Christmas tree balls personalized with silver metallic ink and tied with silver ribbon bows.
  • Chocolate hearts with guests' names drizzled on in rasberry icing.
  • Died eggs with guests' names and a stanza of different poems about spring spiraling around the eggs.
