This is so cute and this lady is brilliant. I saw this and went...why didn't I think of that, which is how all fabulous ideas strike one. I have never been one to have parties, dinner or cocktail, but for those of you that are throwing a fancy party this would be so cute. She has lots of other styles too, so check them out.
