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?
Check out Rhoda's Linky Thrifting Show & Tell at Southern Hospitality!
And in case you're checking my math...the .37 was for the red embroidery thread

Hi! 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!

Those are precious!
Love 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
