Also, I think the nappy that covered the salad plate was great! When the person sits down, they immediately place the napkin on their lap so, I don't think it would have mattered at all.

On the left side of the bridge is a dragon (the fork with the "teeth"). On the right side of the bridge is a princess (the curvy spoon). The knight with his sword (knife) stands next to the princess to protect her with his sword facing towards the dragon ("sharp" side of knife facing left). <br />Believe it or not, that's the one way that helped me to remember how to set it up when I was younger. I've never forgotten since!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14089739457468920621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-47071645385330436272011-11-27T11:33:57.389-05:002011-11-27T11:33:57.389-05:00Thanks for sharing!
