Buffet Pockets....

 How many times have you gone through a buffet line, only to return to grab the silverware or a napkin?

Buffet Pockets can be made simply with wide ribbon, felt, little Christmas stockings, baby socks, or just plain ol' fabric!  

If you are having a buffet over the holidays, make it easy on your guest by using little "pockets" to hold the silverware - you can even tuck a napkin inside.

We often have a buffet when the whole family gets together because it is much easier than passing the serving dishes around a table - and I have a huge kitchen counter!  It also make clean-up easier!

Buffet pockets are easy to create - Use your imagination!
