One of my customers tells me the food blog The Daily Meal mentions the humble flour-sack towel in the context of fine Parisian dining---who knew!?
<Once the cassoulet is cooking, set the table the way they do at cafés in France. Top a white linen tablecloth with a piece of plain white paper, and set two places (if you’re dining a deux) using plain white linen or flour sack cloth napkins. Fill an old glass wine or soda bottle with water, and opt for Picardie glasses to complete the authentic look. Place a flower in a small vase in the middle of the table, with two white taper candles to either side. Of course, don’t forget to open a bottle of your favorite vin rouge.>
I want to do this myself! I think I'd use the elegant teal LindseyTowels pictured above, and decorate with these gorgeous tea lights from Decorating Studio:
