Okay, okay, so you might be thinking, “Duh, Lauren — all cotton napkins are reusable.” Well, they may well be, but how many of them can be bought in a roll of 25?

That’s right — MyDrap is a brand that creates cotton table fabrics that come in a roll and can be torn off whenever you need one. Made from 100% cotton, they can be washed {the texture actually improves over time} or disposed of, as they are fully recyclable and biodegradable.

I was completely shocked when I found these because they are pure genius! They feel great and are much better than paper napkins {wasteful much?}, plus they have the look of a hemstitch around the edges, similar to linen. You can choose from large, regular or cocktail sized napkins in a variety of colours, plus you can pick up a roll of table runners or placemats. This is the perfect option when you’re throwing a party and don’t want to break out your fine linens.

monogrammed linens

I’ve been doing a lot of antique hunting lately, and have fallen hard for antique embroidered table linens. There’s something about a stately monogram that elevates an already stylishly-set dining table to epic levels of elegance. 

That’s why I decided it was time to splurge for my very own, old-school, hotel chic, crisp white monogrammed napkins. But where to find them?

Monogrammes, in the historic downtown of Port Hope, Ont., is renowned for custom monogramming (even home retail giants like Elte and Ginger’s Bath employ their services for custom embroidery), stitching lovely letters onto everything from table linens to cushions to handbags. 

Above, you’ll see some of the samples they prepared for me in my hunt for the perfect monogrammed napkins… I’m so cited! Such an amazing assortment of styles… Which one do you think should I choose? I think I’ve made up my mind, but want to hear your thoughts first…

Embroidered hotel napkins, $36 per set of four (What a steal!!!)
