Oooh Ahhhh for Napkins

Is it worth the extra $100 and millions of hours of labour to make 100 napkins out of this fantastically fantastic fabric? I could pick three or four or five colours and it would be so magnificent....

To Read: Alice I Have Been

I heard about Alice I Have Been by Melanie Benjamin on NPR today. I'm not one of those Alice-a-phile shenanigans at all but I think Charles Dodgeson was kind of a creepy fellow and my brain can't cope with real reading now so maybe some historical fiction would be just the thing.

Digging, again

This and these colours are definitely what we're going for.

Digging

These. In a major way.

Present

My mum bought me this, now unavailable on the website. I likes it. A lot.

A Few Questions for YOU, dear reader

1) Are sixty of these enough? Is it insane to make 120?

2) Where can I find unbelievable fabric to make cloth napkins? Unbelievable mind you. Or I might go head and make those insane pom pom napkin rings and I don't know if that's a good idea. Or is it?

3) What colours of flowers should I get? Keeping in mind that the ring bearers are wearing blue seersucker and the bridesmaids are wearing "thistle" and "spiced wine" and "graphite" but I don't want to just do cream and I don't like matchies. Matchies is baaaaaaaaad for Hannah.

Share your thoughts, I'm in need of some thoughts.

Reading my great-grandmother's wedding announcement from the New York Times in 1911 and my parents from 1979 has been a very cool experience. Now to go through David's family photos...
