swirls and stripes and dots - oh my!




I came to the conclusion that everyday moments are absolutely deserving of a teeny bit of luxe. Especially home cooked meals. And it's amazing the impact a linen napkin has on the approach to a meal. The act of unrolling the fabric, laying it on your lap, smoothing the creases as you feel the soft linen and finally, scooching closer to the table, poised and ready to enjoy.  Not only does it fall on trend with today's earth friendly assertions, but it forces you to slow down, encouraging you to linger over a meal and  feel just that much more present. Enjoyment. Part of my seemingly eternal quest for learning how to live in the present.
