Vintage Napkins.

While in Mississipi this last time, I got to spend a lot of time with my Aunt Doris.  Here is a funny little story...

My Mom and I went to pick up my Aunt for dinner one night, and while we waited for her to finish getting ready, I noticed some nice vintage linen napkins on her dining room table.  My Aunt's dining room table is always set, it's just how she is, and with each place setting was a linen napkin covered in bright tulips, think sixties colors.  Well, I told her that I really liked them, and one day when she was tired of them that I would take them off her hands.  She told me I was a bad seed and then went to use the bathroom before we left.  When she stepped out of the room, I took one of the napkins and stuck it in my shirt but let a little bit hang out.  She came out, ready to go and talking away.  It took her a minute to notice what I had done, to which she lovingly smacked me and told me to put her napkin back.

The next morning, we picked her up for church, and she handed me the napkins I had been lusting over, plus another really cute set :)  Did I know what I was doing?  Hell yes I did, but she knew what I was doing too.
