Tablecloths in Red--Making Double Time
It's time for all things RED. Check out the Rednesday postings over at My Secret Garden with Sue. And a post for Vintage Thingies Thursday at Coloradolady with Suzanne. Check them out.
Today my RED is table coverings. First is a set of 4 placemats. From 1950 or the 60s surely?
Then here is the appliqued/embroidered corner of a small breakfast cloth. It is only on one corner of the buttonholed stitched square. I expect this one dates to late 1940s or earlier 1950s
Now I have three tablecloths. The first is a rectangul
ar cloth with all manner of kitchen items from scales to potbelly stove. It appears to be an old country store setting.
This one is loaded with flowers. No pastels here!
And the square has borders of red covered in yellow and rose/pink rose sprays.

These are wonderful, and just my style and colors...red and florals.

I always think it is very thrifty to combine two memes in one - - - - I did the same thing today on my blog too. Hehehehehehe
You can create such a beautiful table scape with these gorgeous vintage thineys! Wow!
I love vintage talbe clothes, I remember Momma always had to use one on her kitchen table, partly because the table was old and worn and partly cause Momma loved pretty things and tried to brighten our home with them. My favite is the Rooster, no surprise there since I LOVE chickens.

I do love the vintage red and white things. The colors of those fifties tablecloths are amazing. The place mats are fun too. A nice collection.
