Olga Schpitfeir

INTRODUCTION
Why use a cloth napkin you ask?
Creativity, the Environment, Economics, Participation and Variety. Never thought about it like this? Hmm! Let’s briefly discuss these points, one at a time.
Creativity: Just imagine—your guest walks up to your table, and I can almost guarantee the first thing they will comment about is the napkin fold, unless it’s the aroma coming from the kitchen. It’s a simple, dramatic and delightfully creative way to enhance your table that is free,
and your tables never have to look the same twice. You not only can change the fold, but the mix of napkins with your dinnerware, the type of party you’re having, or the type of service you are offering (for example, buffet versus sit-down). Have fun with it!
Do your children want to help with the party? How about giving them the job of folding the napkins? They get to participate — it’s good for you and for them. They will receive the kudos for their efforts and it will provide a healthy source of pride.
Napkins do not have to match. Mix colors and prints with tablecloths and placemats. Tuck a fresh flower into the napkin fold. Look around the house and create your own unusual napkin rings: sew scraps of lace together, tuck folded napkins through the handles of your coffee cups, or use seasonal cookie cutters as napkin rings.
The Environment: I am an advocate for being kind to Mother Earth, and
