A friend and I were chatting this weekend, thinking about hostess gifts and holiday shopping, and she suggested napkins. Napkins! So off I went, with a mission.

Luckily, it didn’t take me long to find Down Home Amy, and her line of homemade housewares.

Amy hails from Vancouver, and the graphics are all her own original illustrations which she silk-screens herself on linens, cottons and organic fabrics using water-based inks. Her shop is a lovely mix of neutral tones, with clean graphics which would suit any style of home!

Lovely little cocktail napkins

Cloth napkin with pocket!

Unfortunately, we don’t have a clothes line, but if we did I would want this little basket for the clothespins! Perfect!

Such a cute graphic!

She also has a great line of snack pouches and lunch bags AND baby accessories like bibs and burp clothes. All with her original graphics!

You can find Amy’s products on Etsy and in several retail locations, but if you see something you like you’d better order soon. Amy’s headed off on an extended vacation at the end of the month, and won’t be back until 2011! You can also follow along with her on her blog, and I hope she’ll share some of her Winter holiday adventures there as well :)

Enjoy,

P.S. Erinn, this is for you. Napkins!
