What is your favorite item of clothing?
Comments (19)Flannel shirt, I guess (though I'm not exactly an afficionado of the season[s] in which I need it). Temp has been 56 - 60 or so in house in recent evenings ... and it's too early to turn on the furnace, yet. Five layers on the torso does the job ... and a washcloth with a safety pin to make a loop to go over my wrist so the fingers on the mouse don't freeze ('tother hand sits under the butt, on occasion as required). ole joyfuelled...See MoreFavorite everyday cloth napkins?
Comments (32)I stopped stocking paper towels couple of years ago and only keep it on hand for a couple of things now, but I don't think I could give up paper napkins. My kids are just too messy, which is suddenly a little embarrassing because my kids are not that little. I do have a lot of different brands of cloth napkins I use for Sunday dinners and when we have people over, but they drive me crazy because they always seem wrinkled. Surprisingly, I bought 20 of the "wrinkle free" brand at Walmart for a last minute get together and they are not only the least expensive by far, but the least wrinkly napkins I've ever owned. All of my others are now up high in the back of the pantry. I have one other set that stay pretty nice right out of the dryer, but my mom gave them to me and they don't have tags so i have no idea where they are from. I do know they are thicker than any of my other napkins, and they are woven, and very soft. They would probably be my next favorite except I only have 4 of them. They are definitely not linen, though. My guess is they are some kind of polyester, which probably isn't especially green. My mom always used cloth napkins and placemats and they were taken to the laundry room after every meal. She had a set for every day of the week and then some, so on laundry day she washed them all at once with dishtowels, etc. She also ironed all of her napkins. And pillowcases. Rephrase: it was one of my chores to iron all of the napkins and pillowcases, which is why as an adult I bought chiliwhich placemats and paper napkins. And I have never ironed a pillowcase in my adult life. I promise I do help the earth in other ways ;)...See MoreTravelers! What's the best suitcase to carry your clothes?
Comments (28)divodiva, that is so interesting about the fish. I will be on the mainland, but very interesting. fillmoe, thanks, we do have a Kirkland carry-on sized case that DH uses. It has been fine as a case for him. I wanted something closer to full sized and wanted to leave my own carry-on at home this trip. I wanted to check my luggage, and have room to take the gifts I am bringing. But I don't want a monster of a case. Anglo, thanks for the info. I have a hard cased Samsonite, and has been a very good case over the last 20 years. But it is very large and it's too unwieldy for me to navigate the train and sidewalks I will be using to get to DS home, once I deplane at Seatac. This Eagle Creek will be a nice check in bag I hope. I'd call it a medium sized case. It wasn't cheap, but not breaking the bank. It is ruggedly constructed. I wanted just 2 wheels for this case, so that I wouldn't risk getting them knocked off in baggage handling. It should arrive tomorrow....See MoreClothing and fashion: your favorite go-to items?
Comments (195)For me lately it has been less about an item of clothing and more of a color: brown! Despite the fact that i have a LOT of black, white and gray clothing that i really really like and looks good on me (i think!), I have been very attracted to browns, tans and creams. i have about twelve pairs of slacks in that color range, many turtlenecks, sweaters, and a vintage brown corduroy jacket piped in brown velvet (with a pleated back). It all just feels cozy and warm and safe and I guess I am looking for that right now. We are packing for a three day trip to California that could turn into ten days or even two weeks. We are each taking three bottoms and three tops, a sweater, two shoes and a light jacket along with underclothes and eletronics. One carryon each… mine will be filled with brown ❤️...See MoreNothing Left to Say
