Garden Prints
Connecticut-based Patricia Spratt designs cotton print table linens (and matching pillows, lampshades, aprons, etc.) in lush floral patterns. The napkins and place mats are quite charming, and some place mats even have a different pattern on the reverse.

Instant Salad
Feast From the East, a tiny Westwood restaurant that has been around since 1981, is well-known for its Chinese chicken salad. It now sells the dressing and wonton strips so you can make your own--just add lettuce, chicken, green onions, almonds and sesame seeds, and you have quite a good salad.
Feast From the East Won Ton Strips, around $4, and Sesame Dressing, around $2.40, at Vicente Foods, West Los Angeles, or call Feast From the East, (310) 475-0400.
Be My Fabric Darling
Also from Patricia Spratt, something that sounds like what you might give your linens for Valentine’s Day: a sort of cologne that imparts a pleasant herbal, vanilla-like scent to tablecloths, napkins and so forth. Only for the linen-obsessed.
