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 kitchen table, [...]

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 edges of [...]

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 is [...]

Proof positive that the red and aqua (with brown) color scheme on a white background has been around before.
I bought this vintage tablecloth several years ago purely for the colors.  I love the almost watercolor style flowers in two shades of aqua, with splashes of green, yellow, and plenty of milk chocolate brown and red.

This [...]

This little beauty is 27 inches by 31 inches.  Technically not a tablecloth at this size, but I use it as a topper when I layer linens.

The black scroll details look like a fence going around the edges.  I love the combination of black, white and red.  So classic.  One of the beautiful things about [...]

I love the boldness of this tablecloth.  When I first saw it, I thought of Mary Engelbreit and her well-known illustrations (this cloth was obviously made long before ME was illustrating, and I found it long before she began designing fabric).  Black and white with touches of red will always be a classic color combination.

The [...]

Today’s tablecloth is truly lovely in every way.  Yes, it’s completely pink, and I love it.

The roses go in one wide border around the entire cloth.  It  measures 68 by 51 inches.

It has a small tag on it, which reads California Hand Prints, which I’m thinking might mean that it was hand printed when it [...]

With two cherry trees in the backyard, someday I’d love to find a large vintage cherry tablecloth that is a real stunner.  For now, this little number does the job.

It measures 34 by 34 inches and is hemmed on two sides.  One of the loveliest things about it is that it is printed on linen [...]

I love vintage linens.  Among my favorite things is my collection of printed tablecloths, which make me smile when I look at them.  I’ve always wanted to find a good way to catalog these lovely pieces, so I’ve decided to post pictures of one each day (or as often as possible) until I have them [...]
