Bunny Ear Napkins
March 31st, 2010 — Domestic Goddess, Easter
Step 1. Fold starched napkin into thirds to form a rectangle. (If you’re using a square napkin, you’ll need to fold in half, and then fold in half again to get a long rectangular shape.)
Step 2. Crease in half to create a center line for reference; fold top corners down along this line.
Step 3. Fold up from bottom corners along dotted lines.
Step 4. Bring left and right edges together on center line.
Step 5. Flip upside down and over. Turn up bottom point.
Step 6. To fasten: Fold left and right corners back; tuck one corner into the pocket of the other. Pull out bunny ears first; open up base. – Images and Ideas from Martha Stewart.
Charming Idea: Glass Pencils
March 30th, 2010 — Cooking, Domestic Goddess
This unique glass-writing pencil from French company L’Atelier du Vin writes on any glass surface, from fine crystal to wine bottles. The large surface area on the Appelation Decanter in particular allows for plenty of space to write information about the wine being served. It can be easily removed when wiped with a damp cloth. – THE WIFE

Clever Idea: Ironing Your Newspaper
February 22nd, 2010 — Cleaning, Domestic Goddess
The point of ironing a newspaper is not as ridiculous as it sounds. Many butlers and 5 star hotels still practice this age-old tradition. Not only does it eliminate creases and make the paper crisp and easier to read, but the hot iron dries the ink so the reader does not end up with dark smudged fingertips. The ink should remain on the paper and not on your hands to go along with reminder of the front headline news. This timeless problem is now fixable, you’ll wonder how you ever read the Sunday Times without it.
Set your iron on the lowest setting to warm, iron one page at a time, in-between sheets of brown paper or parchment. The newspaper needs to be ironed from the top downward and then folded loosely in a horizontal fashion before being handed to the reader. So now when graciously serving your Husband breakfast, you can also hand him a wrinkle and ink free business section. – THE WIFE
