(my) people used to use such things

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

Untitled
A linen pouch with a "C" embroidered on it
Untitled
The "C" must stand for "Cassels," my grandmother's maiden name
Untitled
Untying the bows of the package
Untitled
Reveals some very old satin table napkins
Untitled
A little the worse for wear, but still lovely
Untitled
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.
