1) I hosted another holiday dinner at my house and once again felt silly that I never take any photos of the fun little table set ups I do because they’re always just really basic, straight-forward, normal stuff.

But that’s for another post..The previous owners had added these little stick-on warning signs all over the door, for a feeling of security, I guess.
