Mama's Mopine

With the passing of my mama recently, I am always delighted when I come across something that was so dear to her and our family.


My mother never kept paper towels or napkins, only mopines. A mopine is an italian term for napkin, hand towel, or wash cloth.

The listing reads...
mopine (moh peen, with the long e). A mopine was a dish towel that my mama and her family always kept by the stove. You would never, and I mean never move that mopine on Sundays. If you moved that mopine off the counter, and accidentally used it for another purpose, or placed it in the hamper, she would say, "where isa my mopine???bringa back the mopine". Never mess with the woman's mopine. No, Sundays are not Sundays without her favorite mopine.
