Genius product!

Want the elegance of cloth napkins with the convenience of paper?

Look no further.

I had a little happy hour at the fabulous downtown pad of a new friend last night, and he introduced me to these ingenious rolls of reusable cocktail napkins.

They're perforated, so they roll out and tear off just like a paper towel, but they have all the panache of linen.  I will add to my little user review that they feel great and have a nice hand to them.

At $25 for a roll of 50, that's just 50 cents a square.

My friend (an artist) got them from the Walker Art Center's gift shop, so this is also a great moment to make a little plug for your neighborhood museum store.  I'm lucky to live in a city with several world-class art institutions, but I've noticed that even much smaller museums (like the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, where we used to go as part of our farmer's market outings) have excellent and unique offerings.  Plus your purchases support the arts.  Win/win, I say.

Go forth and buy arty stuff in a house of art near you.
