Keep the Bugs Off Your Food!

Pretty, practical and solves my problem!

Keep bugs off your food with these adorable lace tents



 When we're serving dinner outside, or when you're cooking and dinner is waiting to be served.

Those darn pesky flies are buzzing around because the kids and the dogs are in and out all summer and the door is never closed.

This is a great idea! 

It looks like a cute little lace umbrella.

The perfect solution for me for when I'm Jim's cooking dinner and for the dinner table. 

They serve the purpose and they look so pretty.

I've seen these before in many shapes and styles
but I found these little cuties at CVS for $1.00. Or order them from my Amazon link at no additional cost to you right here.

 They come in several colors but for me...
white is the winner!

    Thanks for the heads-up! We are getting ready to go camping and a couple of those would definitely come in handy!

    Seriously?! I just made some of these for a party I was having and they were a PAIN to make. But it looks like these may be just to cover a plate. I needed them to cover a big tray...OK. I feel better. I didn't completely waste my time (although I am heading to CVS to get some of your covers TODAY. Lisa~

    Awesome idea. I don't think I have a CVS in my area...but i seen these at Dollar General for $1.50 each. A little more pricey. But I think I will pick one up to try.
    Thanks for sharing.

    We had a bunch of these years ago! I was just thinking of them this past weekend when we had a cookout for Fathers Day and the flies were so bad. I'll check at my CVS.. thanks for the tip.
    Thanks also for linking it up to my link party.

    These are perfect for picnics. You don't have to watch your food and you get to enjoy the outdoors without thinking about whether there is bugs in your food.
