I was just browsing Dawn’s blog and noted that she had written a quite compelling account of why she needs to have this object. It’s part of a contest. A writing contest! Just like the good old days of The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio. I could not resist engaging in a little healthy competition with a writer I adore and admire. So here is my entry.

When I saw the photo of this napkin dispenser, I gasped out loud. I knew we had to have it. Why? Because our kitchen has beautiful orange-ish walls and it would look very beautiful sitting on our table. And because my mother is the Manager of the Napkins in our house, and well, having an appliance such as this would just make her day. She takes it upon herself to keep our really boring, wooden napkin holder well stocked, and then at mealtimes, she ensures that each of us has a napkin, and further, that it ends up in its proper place on our laps. Having a brilliant orange Napkin Dispenser would give further joy, beauty and integrity to her job.

Additionally, we are great fans of mushrooms in our house, the favorites being Portobello, but we enjoy a good Button or Shiitake as well.

In short, I believe that this Napkin Dispenser belongs in our household and if we do not win it, I’ll have to steal one from a local donut shoppe, and decoupage one myself.
