trumping leontine
I never thought I’d say it, because it’s pure sacrilege. But I’m gonna go there: I think Julia B. has up-and-trumped ole Leontine. Leontine can still be the lady-in-waiting, don’t despair- but JBL is the new reigning queen of STUNNING tabletop linens, monogrammed goodness, heavenly bedding, and more. I could say something snooty and poserish like “ooo I just can’t wait till one of our girls uses these at her wedding”, but y’all- let’s face it . . . at $135/napkin, it isn’t probably going to happen anytime soon. *wink* A girl can dream, though!
Below, the ones that are keeping me up at night:
The Calais Dinner Napkin from Julia B. Linens = my all-time fave.
Julia B. Linens’ monogrammed Signature Cocktail Napkin = the ultimate girlfriend gift.
Paris is always a good idea- (the Julia B. Linens Paris place setting).
The Biarritz napkins from Julia B. scratch that pompom “itch”.
The Versailles dinner napkin – so aptly named!
