As someone who loves to entertain, I understand the immense effort it takes to put together a pretty tablescape. From making sure the tablecloth is perfectly aligned and setting down all of your finest china to arranging your centerpieces and allocating your guests' place cards (if that's your style — and it is mine).
But that sense of satisfaction comes swiftly undone at the first draft of wind. I'm quite type A when it comes to my outdoor table setting ideas, so the feeling of defeat when my tablecloth shifts out of place can be maddening.
