easy peasy pretty green living...

i have started to use cloth napkins
to simplify my life.
~~~
i was prompted to start using cloth napkins
as i began looking for ways
i could live more "green."
~~~
using cloth napkins has worked well for me!
i am able to repurpose and live "green"
using cloth napkins~
and they feel so much better
on your skin
than paper napkins.
~~~
i bought these cloth napkins
at our local thrift store.
~~~
these pretty pink and red-flowered
cloth napkins
are repurposed from a
vintage tablecloth.
~~~
i simply tear the tablecloth
into 12x12 squares
and fray the edges.
~~~
easy peasy lemon squeezy!
~~~
i like to celebrate seasons and holidays
and i like variety
so i've made cloth napkins
out of seasonal and holiday tablecloths.
~~~
i have autumn and christmas napkins
and soon i'll have springy easter napkins
out of this pink lavender, and yellow vintage tablecloth.
~~~
how much prettier could repurposing
and living "green" be?
~~~~~

~
live green today!

  1. I have always wanted to do this and before B.I. was doing it for Sunday dinners, but I had a hard time keeping up with the spot cleaning and washing. Any suggestions?

  2. hi sherry!

    i use cloth napkins and just wash them all the time. i'm sure mine have spots. i try to use printed or darker fabrics so you don't see the spots.
