My mom took me thrifting and told me to get something for my self so I thought I'd share with you what I found. Also my hubby brought me a toy home yesterday he got from a junk man for free. This is a picture of it. [: The cloth napkins are what I got to take one more step in being greener and also money wise. Hope you all have a great day. Karen

Love that Apron Sugar!!

I've started Using REAL Napkins this last year or so too..
Funny.. everyone seems to really LOVE the idea too..
All my Neices & Nephews are even getting into it.. they go right for the cubbard in the dining room now to help set a table with REAL Napkins.. rather then an old paper towel.. which a couple of years ago may have been the Norm!

Good For us huh?

Cute Airplain too.. i can't tell is it a Teeny toy..? or is it a Nice Riding one.. Looks like a riding one..?

fun treasures miz georgia peach! i stopped using paper napkins eons ago .. fabric is so easy to wash with a quick hit of the iron. and you can use any fabric you love .. jus' rip and tear .. don't even reeeeeely need a hem either!

i often buy fabric for napkins to match any party i might be having. can re-cycle it into dolly dresses too!

Great finds, Karen. Of course you have to get something for yourself and I am glad you did. Love the toy though. My Mother has always used cloth napkins, ever since I can remember (like a thousand years ago). It just seems nicer. MB

Hey Karen! Is that a kiddie's ride toy? I saw a ride toy just like it today outside of a resale shop here in town today.
That's so cute!!

Great apron and hankies. I love the napkins with the fruit on them. What a great toy and it was free?! It sure looks like it's in pretty great shape!

Yep, the toy was free and it is a riding toy. It is in very good shape the only thing missing was the battery cover and with a little tape the batteries stay in and everything works just fine. I love old toys, maybe with them I'll have an excuse never to grow old! Thanks for all your great comments! Karen
