Vintage Table Cloth
A very dear friend has been cleaning her house and getting rid of things she no longer uses, needs or wants.
She called me and said she had a large crocheted tablecloth that was at least 50 years old.
A friend of a friend had crocheted it, she said.
Would I be interested in it?
Would I? Of course! I love old things.
I drove to her house the next day to pick up the cloth.
My dear friend had carefully washed it, neatly folded it and had it waiting for me in a bag.
It looks quite lovely on the dining room table and the pattern is so pretty. Added to it is a vase of gladioli and one of my favorite paintings on a little easel.
It boggles the mind to think how long it took the woman to make the beautiful table cloth.
With a red or green cloth underneath it at holiday time, it will be even more charming.
I am so grateful to my friend and she's glad the crocheted antique cloth can be put to good use.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU RECEIVED A SURPRISE GIFT?
