It's no secret that Cinderella knew before anyone else; "that's my glass slipper." For everyone else there was a game of finders, keepers, losers, weepers... I've seen a similar thing go on at cocktail parties, which is why many, many manufacturers have had a go at designing wine glass markers. The cutest I've seen of late are from vacu vin, which as a name is strangely close to vacuum-bin but I'll ignore that because these little suckers are so darn cute. I also posted a link on twitter recently for a tutorial on how to add a chalkboard-base to the bottom of wine glasses which was pretty straight forward, classy, and certainly cheaper than the store-bought versions.
Today, however, I'm giving you the super-duper cheapest wine glass identification system ever - take a set of new plastic toddler rings (the set my daughter was given has 7 coloured love hearts; one for every day of the week, how nice!) and gently push each ring onto the stem of a wine glass. Done.
Pretty. Simple. Huh? They work like a treat, and at the end of the function, simply slip them off, and give them to the kids to work their own special, breakable magic! Tableware made easy.
Enjoy your weekend; I'm off to enjoy the break in the weather with what's left of our Saturday, recover from an amusing ballet dress-rehearsal and charge our collective real and metaphysical batteries for tomorrow's concert!
