I hate to admit that I wanted to steal these napkins when I saw them at a friend’s house recently.

Boldly graphic, the oversized Maribel napkins brightened not only plain plates but also my own post-vacation mood.

I was happy to find them on sale when I went looking for them on Crate & Barrel’s website. Normally $4.95, the polyester-blend napkins are now $1.95 apiece -- an inexpensive, feel-good purchase. The website has several other fun table linens on sale as well, including designs by the Finnish textile studio Marimekko.
