Thanks Ladies for all your encouraging comments yesterday. I got a lot done yeasterday and am working on the laundry and dishes again today while DH paints for me. It’s so nice to know that I’m not the only one that can get sidetracked and snowed under.
I found these inexpensive wash cloths in fall colors at W*mart this week. I normally would have passed them by, but I remembered seeing something similar at my Sister-in-Love’s house used as napkins! They were so soft and absorbant and washed up well. All the fall colors were beautiful on her table, so I snagged a set of 18 for just $5.
I love it when frugal, easy and lovely all align.
great idea for napkins…I’ve got an embroidery machine so I could embellish them if I choose to.
I use washcloths that I have bought whenever I”ve seen them at a good price, as “guest towels” in the bathroom. They “live” , folded neatly, in a basket on top of the commode and are labelled with a card, attached to the basket. I have another basket on the floor, labelled “used towels’ and that’s where people can put them when they’re done. Not only do they save on fancy paper guest towels, but guests don’t have to use the personal. family towels that hang in the bathroom. I change them according to season – a plaid for the winter and solid blue for the summer. Washing is a snap as when I do a “colours” wash, I just empty the basket in.
