(my) people used to use such things

Going through a chest of drawers the other day looking for something, I found this interesting item:

A linen pouch with a "C" embroidered on it

The "C" must stand for "Cassels," my grandmother's maiden name

Untying the bows of the package

Reveals some very old satin table napkins

A little the worse for wear, but still lovely

Especially the details of the fabric in the light

People used to use such things. People like my family, to make dining a special experience. At a table, and not parked in front of a television screen.
