Hello Everybody!
Hope you are having a good Friday so far!
Today we are joining Thrift Things Friday #95 on Diann's blog, The Thrifty Groove.
Stop by her blog and see all the super things you can do on a budget!
Just the other day, I was thinking how nice it would be to have a Valentine tablecloth.
Somewhere along the way, I had found heart-covered place mats but no tablecloth.
So during a quick Goodwill stop, I crossed my fingers and headed for the linens.
Right before my very eyes was a heart-covered tablecloth!
It has so many hearts on it that it would be impossible to count them.
It also has the words "Love and kisses" repeated hundreds of times and "Calin et Bisou." The latter, I think, means hugs and kisses in French.
Now the cloth has been washed well and adds a very heart-felt touch to the kitchen table.
Thanks Goodwill! So happy your stores exist!
What a precious find.
ReplyDeleteMy answer: dark chocolate and roses and valentines cards given and received.
Oh, I definitely agree with Terra about the dark chocolate! This tablecloth is lovely, Susan, and I congratulate you once again on your timing to find it! Also, my hubby's birthday is on Valentine's Day, so I usually make something sinful for us to eat to celebrate his special day...either cherry or chocolate something, and sometimes cherry and chocolate together!
ReplyDeleteI hope you will not be adversely affected by the storm that is being predicted for the northeastern part of our nation. It sounds like it could be really bad for those in its path! Stay safe!! :-)
I love getting cards and sending them out in the mail.
ReplyDeleteAre you Irish??--you should have the luck:-D What a sweet tablecloth to have to celebrate Valentine's Day, but honestly, who doesn't love hearts all year round, XOXO
ReplyDeleteValentine's Day is my wedding anniversary.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute tablecloth! I love the chocolate of course and flowers on Valentine's day even though I don't get them much. hugs, Linda

Good for you...now you have it for year after year!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful and what a good buy! Just perfect for the season! Enjoy!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat treasures. I love a bargain and you certainly have a knack for finding them. Valentine's Day is always a nice day with lots of chocolates and and lovely cards.
ReplyDeleteBeing with my Frank...♥ I wish we had a goodwill store near me....sigh.
ReplyDeleteThats a pretty nice tablecloth, Valentine's day not so big here but any day that involves chocolates and flowers I like.
ReplyDeleteMerle....
I think Valentine's Day is the perfect antidote for mid February. Remember the exquisitely (in my mind, anyhow)decorated Valentine's Box sitting on the teacher's desk in elementary school? I admired it so and was very excited to bring in my own Valentine's to put into it.
ReplyDeleteLove the tablecloth; you seem to really hit it right at the Goodwill store. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.
I love getting and sending cards also. Going to write mine out this snowy weekend, while I sip a hot of of chai tea. What a combo; writing out valentines and a snowstorm!
You hit it just right...I love hearts and pretty roses....and I love the old fashioned valentine cards...Happy weekend great find..with love Janice
ReplyDeleteWell now, that was a serendipitous find! Just in time for the month of love. :) Hugs, Tammy
ReplyDeleteSusan I love your hearts and I love the french words there too on your tablecloth! The thrift stores are my favorites!
ReplyDeleteSuch fun.
