Choosing cloth napkins over paper
Last weekend I had some friends over for a fondue party. Everyone thought I was a bit crazy, because instead of investing in some festive paper napkins, I brought out a stack of cloth ones to catch the drips of cheese and chocolate. I explained that as soon as the evening was over, I would just toss them into the washing machine, to await the next load of laundry. For me they are easier and more economical than buying packages of paper ones every month or two. I am lucky, because I inherited a supply of cloth napkins from my grandparents, so I have enough to last years. If you want to make the switch to cloth napkins, but don't want to spent a couple of bucks on each one at the store, look into making your own. Recently the folks over at Green Home linked to some instructions how to go about making your own. You can even repurpose old clothing by turning them into napkins. You could even go buy some holiday-appropriate fabric and make some napkins for use at your parties and gatherings throughout the season.
