friday field trip (from the sketchbook).

2011
berkeley, ca

this was just a quick sketch in my sketchbook of an idea for a napkin holder. 

and THIS is when it came into fruition a few months later.

et voilà !

clean up your act.

i have new handmade linen napkins in the shop. isn’t it time to be kind to our planet and stop using those paper napkins ? assign everyone in the family their own special napkin. it instantly makes every meal just a little more fancy.

go even greener.

i am a firm believer, and lover, of the cloth napkin.  not only are they eco-friendly, but they also take any meal UP a notch.  when my husband (who is even greener than i) suggested we RE-USE our napkins for the next meal, i was horrified.  disgusted, even.  though i soon realized the truth: sometimes i barely even touch my napkin.  so, unless we are feasting on cracked crab, fresh lobster, or a spaghetti dinner (in which case we might need two napkins EACH), i am all for re-using the napkin again . . . IF i can be certain it is mine, that is.

and so was born the personalized napkin ring. now everyone in the family can know WHICH napkin is THEIRS.  and the virgos in the house can wipe their mouths in peace.

p.s . . . these were featured in the seattle post newspaper today and you can order yours here.
