It is amazing what you can find at the thrift store. My daughter found this cute little tablecloth, which she gave to me for Christmas. Each corner is hand stitched with a teapot, tea cup, and sugar bowl.
The center has a girl and boy in a small row boat.
Vintage table cloths can be so festive and colorful. I love the colors in this one. So many of them from the 1930's and 1940's had fruit in them.
The blue trimmed tablecloth is the first one that I couldn't resist about 30 years ago. It is linen, the colors so vibrant. It has been a real joy to use, eventhough it now has a couple small holes in it. I always think I will cut them up when they get holes or have holes, but I just can't bring myself to do it yet. If they have holes I sometimes just layer the table cloths on the table with like colors. I have a few linen, plaid tablecloths that are beautiful layered with the flowered or fruited cloths. It is fun to play with combinations for a party, for company, or just for everyday use.
