On a solid white background, this cloth features four large flower bouquets in the corners and smaller bouquets at the center of each side.  A ribbon, decorated with coordinating flowers, dances around the entire cloth, pulling it all together. Measuring 47 by 53 inches, this cloth has no tag or markings of any kind.  It [...]

If tablecloths were judged by the brightness of their color, this one would surely be a finalist. Printed on a bright spring green background, it features huge flowers. Two corners are huge daisies, two have large poppies.  The largest flowers are approximately 9 inches across. The tablecloth measures 52 by 64 inches and has some [...]

My last fun purchase while thrifting in Colorado is this lovely vintage tablecloth. I haven’t added to my tablecloth collection for several years.  I manage my collections like this:  I decide what I’ll use it for, and a place to keep it in.  When the space is full, my collection is complete.  I started this [...]

Covered in morning glories, bunnies and eggs, this is the perfect vintage tablecloth for our Easter breakfast. A border of bunnies involved in various activities borders the cloth. The center of the cloth is a circle of flowers trailing outwards to the edges of the cloth. This tablecloth is printed on 100% cotton.  The tag [...]

I have a stack of vintage hankies that I pull out every once in a while.  I get them out thinking that perhaps I should pass them along to someone, or make something with them so they can do more than sit in a basket in my office.  I have around 4 dozen of them, [...]

In honor of National Quilt Day today,  I thought I’d post pictures of my favorite vintage quilt. This quilt is my favorite for so many reasons!  I purchased it about 3 1/2 years ago on Ebay.  It was one of those love at first sight moments.  It’s made with my favorite colors:  red, white and [...]

This is one of the tablecloths that I love and use regularly. Measuring 48 by 53 inches, it is printed on a cotton/polyester blend, which probably accounts for the incredibly vivid color after years of storage.  It had some yellowing when I purchased it, but it soaked out beautifully. This tablecloth looks fabulous on my [...]

Today’s tablecloth is another that reminds me of vintage ticking, only without the stripes. The oval medallions remind me a lot of those that are so often scattered in vintage ticking patterns.  The flowers on this cloth are really more of a mauve. From a distance, I like the way the ovals lay around the [...]

Another tablecloth with roses and a black pattern going around the entire piece.  The black has faded to a lovely charcoal gray.   I like how the inside pattern consists of circles overlaying one another, while the smaller outside one is made of loops that travel around the edges.  (I also like the two cute helpers [...]

On a rainy day, this is just the thing to bring a bit of sunshine in! Cheerful pink and red flowers dance around the edge of this tablecloth.  It measures 45 by 53 inches.   This pretty cloth has a couple of small stains and a few small holes on one end, but overall the condition [...]
