Love this pretty white tablecloth.
Beautiful little baskets in the corners.
More pretty details.
Dainty edging.
Found 5 of these placemats -- look like they'd make a pretty tea setting. Sort of have a "Victorian" look about them. I'm guessing that they're from the 70s.
This damask tablecloth is wonderful vintage quality. Looks like it has never been used. (sorry I haven't ironed it yet).
It's an odd shade of red - orange red -- sort of tomato colored - perhaps that's why it hasn't had much wear at all -- don't know exactly what I'll use with this -- any color suggestions? What do you see? I'm guessing this might be from the 50s.
Three linen napkins.
Hand embroidered with a red RR.
But then, oddly these were cut apart with scissors and never hemmed. I think I'll see about getting that done before I try to launder them.
This cute little tablecloth (also unironed) looks like the 40s or 50s to me.
love the bright colors.
This one has a few stains I need to work on -- but overall, in pretty good shape. I think it looks quite cheerful.
This dish towel is sure to make you smile.
It even says "Fun in the kitchen"
Our happy couple cooking together.
She's serving up something yummy!
Eeeek! A mouse! Where's that man when you need him? Looks like scottie to the rescue!
Who says cleaning up the kitchen can't be fun?
Remember that movie when Fred Astaire danced with a mop?
Hey honey...are these dishes clean or dirty? Don't know how old this one is....when did they first come out with dishwashers?
Love this hand embroidered cloth -- this picture looks like it's stained, but it's actually in very good condition.
Love all the pretty handwork on this.
Last are a couple of embroidered pillowcases. They need a good soaking, mostly the discoloring is from storage and will hopefully come out.
Can't wait to show some tablescapes with these new "olden" treasures. How's you treasure hunting going these days? Are you finding treasures dear to you as well?
See ya!
