Just when I think I've said all I have to say about tea and I'm wondering how many blog posts I could possibly have left in me, a spark of inspiration always, always arrives in a most unexpected fashion. A few days ago, it came in the form of this utterly charming, new-to-me vintage tablecloth from tea friend Margie in California. Isn't this adorable!
This is a printed design that simulates old-fashioned embroidery, and I absolutely love it because I don't have one like it at all! I have a few embroidered tea-themed tablecloths, but the embroidery is no longer in good condition, and while I don't necessarily mind that, I do love the pristine shape this tablecloth is in.
Here's a detail of one of the teacups, and the same design is repeated in all four corners. Because of the red in this tablecloth, I was also inspired to start thinking about this year's teatime Valentine's Week display. I think I've found the perfect tablecloth to use as my backdrop this year, don't you?
Very pretty tablecloth. I love vintage linens. They have a feel about them. Christy in Tulsa OK.

ReplyDeleteI really love these old works of hand art. My eyes are so drawn to them in an antique booth or flea market. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteOf course this would be perfect for Valentine's. What a nice gift.
