For several years, we lived in the southwest.
We were close enough to the Mexican border to make shopping trips to a Mexican city.
I used to love going, never knowing what treasures I'd find.
So many times I bought those lovely cloths. Some of the time I had in mind to give a cloth as a gift.
Other times, I bought them for "moi."
No matter how many dozens upon dozens of time I washed those tablecloths, they came out beautiful and guess what? They never had to be ironed!
Most came back to the east coast with us, including a round one with beautiful pink and red roses.
Problem? It's for a round table and we no longer have a round table. Our kitchen table is now rectangular.
So for several years now, the round cloth has taken up space at the bottom of a shelf until this week.
My daughter and son-in-law bought me a beautiful set of Bavarian china, with red and pink roses,in a Goodwill Store.
The final combination. along with some lovely rosy napkins and a votive candle or two, looks kind of pretty, don't you think?
DO YOU USE TABLECLOTHS?

I have used tablecloths at various times, and do have a few nice ones, but just don't normally get them out these days. If I had one as lovely as this one, though, I would have a very hard time keeping it in a drawer! I also love those dishes! As I have mentioned before, anything "Rose" will always get my vote! Such a lovely table you have set!
Your tablecloth is just so pretty! I LOVE it and your dishes. I just love pink and roses anything!
I have a round table and I do use tablecloths. I need to make a new one. I like long tablecloths,so I have to make them...yards of fabric.
Love,
Linda
Hi, Susan!
I liked how you decorated your table with all those flowery patterns. The Mexican tablecloth looks awesome! Yes, we do use them too, and I always like to purchase another cute one :)
Hi from Spain, i like your mexican tablecloth. I have some tablecloth but your is very elegant. Keep in touch
Squeal - LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have the same tablecloth and dishes Susan..aren't they just wonderful? Love them!
Very festive and fitting for Valentine's Day. I use smaller tablecloths all the table to accent my 7-foot farm table in our dining room. I have my grandmother's crochet table cloth that barely covers, but "it works..." as you say! Beautiful setting; I'm heading over:-D
You table cloth and the rose dishes go wonderfully together Susan. Do you use a table cloth every day? We use one once in awhile. I should use them more often. What a nice set your son and DIL got you. sandie

Very very pretty, Susan!
I SURE do (use tablecloths)! And I love your cranberry glass vase. It is grand.
Yes, tablecloths often cover our tables, particularly seasonal ones.
My sister is a great fan of roses! She would love your tablecloth and china!
I only use a tablecloth because I don't like the dining table I have. Honestly around here, it just collects dust -- and Jingles always sits on it in the middle of the night so then there is cat hair all over it. :/ Looks like that is a pretty big tablecloth. Very pretty! Have a great day. Tammy
I use tablecloths about half of the time "in real life" -- but LOTS of the time in the tablescapes I do at My Place to Yours.
Your tablecloth is lovely, and I'm glad you've put it back into circulation. :-)
another amazing collection....(sigh)
