Isak Dinesen famously said: "The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears, or the sea." While these nautical-inspired tabletop pieces won't replace a wind-blown afternoon out on the water, they'll recall images of knotted ropes, preppy sailors, and anchors ahoy—something to tie you over until the next time you're seaside. (They're also perfect for a themed party!)

I love that napkin ring (West Elm has some that are very similar). They look like they could be a DIY though....anyone know where I could find a tutorial?
They are very easy to make, E53 - I made about a hundred of them the day before my wedding using Martha Stewart's method: http://www.marthastewart.com/266406/knotted-napkin-rings
