Great Weekend

I'm still talking about napkins.

How about you?

Kate, "I received your package of napkins."

Oh how I love them.

Calla Lilly

See, I have already glued one down.

This is just a little peak of my weekend painting.

Had to show you at least a peak.

But no more.

It is relevant to today's "napkin talk".

Get in on the napkin swap if you love napkins.

Just scroll down to earlier post this week for the how to.

First, I want to answer a few questions.

Jacky, said,

"......are you going to let us in on the secret about Tuesday mornings?"
Jacky lives down under and I'm thinking they don't have the store, Tuesday Morning. It is just store with all kinds of stuff and they have a great selection of napkins.

From jerseytjej,

"...the one stamp won't work for us out of the country. You can only post from America using us stamps..."

I know and I'm busted.

I just thought it would be a cool way for me to get stamps from other countries.

"Already been used" stamps works for me.

My friend's call me Rella said, ".....Sometimes I notice the gorgeous napkins in the store have annoying hole things at the most wonderful part of the design.....I would describe it as brail!!! .... Do you know what I mean??"

I'm not sure Rella, but if you mean the little design that shows up in the above napkin, they are harmless. They are there to hold the three layers together.

Here is the corner of a canvas where I have applied the napkin with gel medium. As you can see, the "braille" goes away.

A comment from jblack design reminded me of something I forgot to tell you. That is about layering napkins. Because they are so translucent, you can layer them and use several different designs and she also gives a great tip on where to find, "... Estate sales and Goodwills are good places to find napkins, too. I found vintage ones from Japan last summer."

The above corner is the same corner that I showed in the sneak peak in the first photo at the top. Then the mail arrived with the beautiful Calla Lilly napkin.

Shopgirl said, "I went to lunch with my group of ladies...we went to one of the ladies house... I saw the napkins and thought of you...so I gently put mine in my purse..." I'm laughing again as I post this but that reminded me of my funny story.

One of my friends here occasionally drops off a napkin or two. One day while I was out, she left four or five. I took them home and not until I started to use one that I noticed the circle impression in the middle (see above napkin). I just died laughing when I realized that she had swiped from a table somewhere all the napkins that were sitting under the water glasses.

So, if you are out of the country and want to swap, send me already been used stamp and it's OK with me if you want to send an already been used napkin.

I think I went over my time today, sorry.
Enough for today,
