Vintage Tablecloth: Pink Flower Ovals

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 the tablecloth, larger in the middle of each side and on an angle in the corners.

Around the outside of the oval medallions there is a sweet little scalloped border with small roses.  It’s the perfect vintage touch for a little girls’ tea party or birthday party.

This cloth is cotton duck and has a lovely weight.  I noticed no flaws or stains.  It measures 47 by 53 inches.

So sweet and innocent.

This morning I found…

someone’s lunch hidden in the corner of the family room, behind a chair.


My first thought:  why on earth wasn’t it eaten at school?

My second thought:  no wonder a certain child of mine is near tears with hunger after school every day!

I’m pretty sure there’s a reason kids have a lunch break at school, and I’m pretty sure it involves more than just recess.

Hmmmm…

Today…

I am remembering yesterday’s sunshine.

I am anxious for some warm days because I’ve got some things to paint!

I am marveling that I’ve now written 201 posts on this blog.  I’m grateful it’s been such a healthy outlet for me.

I am thankful for my husband who has freely shared his time and help with me over the past few days (and our house is thankful, too).

I am enjoying the sounds of children playing in my home.

I am gearing up mentally for a couple of crazy busy days.

I am enjoying watching my baby try to crawl.  When her arms get tired, she puts her head down and scoots on her forehead while pushing with her feet.  So funny!  I’ll try to get pictures.

I am working on a project:

I’m excited to share more!  Stay tuned…

What are you doing today?
