I am hooked on ’em lately. We have always been rip-off-a-paper-towel-and-fold-it people. Even if we are having company over (tacky tacky tacky). Chris loves to cook (no surprise there) and he LOVES to cook for lots of people, so we have friends over for dinner at least once a week. Suddenly, I am completely embarrassed about tucking a paper towel by a plate. Even though we do use the luxe Viva ones (if you don’t, just try them….you’ll be hooked). So, earlier this week, I picked up a cheap-o pack of paper napkins and a sleek, clear holder at Ikea (another shocker) for a grand total of less than $5. Why have I been avoiding buying printed napkins for so long?! I have no answer for that. I am honestly converted now. It’s nice to have a pretty napkin with dinner, even when it is just Chris and I. Next, I am looking to invest in some nice, colorful cloth ones. I use the term “invest” very loosely, because I am convinced that a napkin may be the cheapest thing that makes the biggest impact on a tablescape. So, I rounded up some of my cloth and paper favs, with links (click on the name of the store)–just in case you got the fever, too.
