Toasting with Tara

Colorful eco-friendly cocktail napkins, dinner napkins, and placemats easily elevate the bar or table. These unique products come on a roll, making them easy to store, easy to use, and afterward easy to dispose of because they are both biodegradable and recyclable. I especially love the the cocktail napkin stands for the bar. Brilliant!
