Revisiting Cloth Napkins...

I know this topic isn't new, but I wanted to revisit these simple bits of luxury.

Cloth napkins.

I think they can really make a table pop, because they can be simple or over- the-top.

One of my favorite things to do is visit fabric shops.

I'm always drawn to the colors and patterns...I think they are very inspirational.

Sometimes I like one color/pattern and then sometimes I'm drawn to something completely different.

Am I a crazy woman who can't make up her mind?

I hope not, please tell me someone else out there feels the same way!

Basically, 

I just love color. 

That's the main reason why I deliberately chose neutrals in my current home.

I wanted to be able to change colors on a whim without completely changing everything or painting walls.

I learned my lesson in my previous home and swore that I wouldn't be tied down to a specific tone or shade.

So here we go, I chose this beautiful fabric partly because of the colors and partly because of the design...

I really liked the birds.

I knew right away that I could purchase just a bit of this fabric 

and could use it to make napkins for a future tablescape.

 To refresh my memory, I began researching quick and easy ways to make napkins.

I found this site and this site.

They are easy to follow directions...a little bit different from each other but great tutorials.

So I followed their directions with a little twist of my own,

and now I have a new set of cloth napkins!

Yippee!

Can you guess the theme of this tablescape?

Yep, apples.

It will be posted on September 25 

I hope to see you then!

 So if fabric makes you swoon too, 

go ahead and pick up a couple of yards and treat yourself to a little bit of luxury...

cloth napkins!

I know you'll be glad that you did!

I'm joining Susan over at Between Naps on the Porch for her Metamorphosis Monday.

Drop by there too, there's always loads of inspiration!
