Good morning! I have such a fun project to share today. A few months ago, I purchased gorgeous unused set of twelve 22-inch linen napkins with a pretty eyelet hem at the thrift store—all twelve for just $10! The next week, at the same thrift store, I found another set of linen napkins, and then a week later, another set of twelve! I couldn’t believe my luck. Let me show you what I did with them!

The designer happens to be a friend who works at my LYS, and when I stopped in to pick out yarn (impossible to imagine I had no brown or green in my stash that would work!) she was there and showed me a few more designs she’s currently working on. That only made me more excited to cast on.

These turned out so incredibly cute that I already know I’ll be making more of her designs soon. It takes just a tiny amount of yarn, very little time, and such a fun way to upcycle your pretty Le Fermiere pots.

Flower vinegars feel very old-world and are excellent in:

• vinaigrettes for potato or cucumber salad
• drizzled over tomatoes
• quick pickled vegetables
• deviled eggs
• marinades for chicken or fish

I noticed last year that flower vinegar flavor develops faster than expected. Tasting every few days can help you catch the sweet spot before it becomes too sharp.
