Charmed

I do a decent amount of entertaining throughout the year, and with all the wine consumed at such events, one would think I'm properly outfitted with equipment. A glaring ommission from my stash is wine charms, those delightful stem attachments that help you remember which glass has your cooties all over the rim.

A weekend project: making wine charms to keep guests' germs at bay. There are a couple of tutorials I've found, and I'm armed with—you guessed it, more holiday gifts!—a World of Beads gift certificate (thanks to Kendall) and an aresenal of pliers (a nod to Stu, of course, the man who supplies me with more tools than most 40-yr old men possess).
