I love cloth napkins!! They are easier on the budget and much nicer looking than paper. Your local thrift shop is a great place to find them too. I have found some wonderful one in mine.

Another avenue for table cloths and napkins inexoensively is sheets. My pastor's wife has a beautiful flowered tablecoth made from a bed sheet. I made her napkins from a co-ordinating pillow sham that I took a part. It goes wonderful with her different colored bold fiesta ware type dishes.

I agree with you Belinda --- I love cloth napkins for the reusability-aspect of them, and because I can incorporate different themes very easily. I also scour my local fabric store's remnant table, and make my own. I prefer a cotton/poly blend, to eliminate the need to iron.

When I use cloth napkins for a larger buffet, I put a basket next to the trash bins, to collect the used napkins.
