I like notes on napkins. It's something about the impermanence of them. No matter how much thought has gone into the note it's still a napkin and the chances of it being to hand when I knock something over (which I do regularly) and being picked up and used without a thought just because it's a napkin and that's what you do with napkins is very high. And then it will be gone, a soggy, ink strewn mess and I will swear and curse and call myself an idiot (which I do regularly) for grabbing a napkin that was more than a napkin to clean up a mess that was just a mess.

i love this. it's so true...it's the impermanence of it that makes it special.
ReplyDeletei love to doodle on napkins or to make paper roses. something so simple can be very special
ReplyDeleteGorgeous picture, and so true - the casual unplanned nature of notes on napkins: scratchings through the fine paper weave from ball-point pens low on ink, creases and food crumbs from the table it was written on, fold lines from where it was hastily stuffed in to a pocket on leaving... *love*
ReplyDeleteSweet....smiles.
ReplyDeleteI always write a note on the napkins I pack in my husbands lunches and just recently he told me he saves everyone.
