Went garage sale-ing last Friday, and found these blue striped cloth napkins. 8 for $1. Brought them home, washed them, embroidered everyone's initial into a napkin, then assigned them to the family. We'll see how we do with using a single napkin during the course of a day. At present, the kids use about 3-4 dozen per dinner. I'm excited about teaching a little conservatism.
Did you get any finds this weekend?

And in case you're checking my math...the .37 was for the red embroidery thread
Those are cute. Very nautical looking.

ReplyDeleteHi! Came over from Southern Hospitality! What a great idea!! My kids and hubby and I were just talking about switching permanently to cloth napkins, and I love the idea of everyone having "their own" with their initial!! :) Great idea!

ReplyDeleteLove it! We use the same napkin for about a week or till dirty (learned this from a frugal French friend). So good to teach your kids and forget the paper! Linda
