Ode to the Cloth Napkin

Jan 27

You may be surprised to learn just how important a napkin really is. It is not just a square of cloth, it's a tool for bringing people together and showing them how important they to you. See? I knew you’d be surprised!

Having grown up in a household where a cloth napkin was present at every dinner, I can personally attest to its power. Regardless of what the meal was, a cloth napkin designated that event as important.

As a result of this "power" napkin, my family is very close to this day. I'll give a little credit to Mom and Dad's ability to parent well, but it’s mostly the napkin. If you rock a paper towel, I’m not judging, but I urge you test drive cloth and see what magic can happen at the dinner table.

One of the chores I expect of my kids is to set the table, and their favorite part is choosing the napkins. We usually end up with three different napkins, which makes my designer eye twitch, but they’re so excited to make the selection.

So here are several "power" napkins that will bring your family and friends together, elevate your dining experience and bring a little magic to the table.
