I love vintage tablecloths. All kinds. I have a very large collection and I am trying to be choosier when buying them. Today I was just happy to find so many of them for $6 each. I haven't been finding them lately so I bought 5 today at 3 different estate sales. I went to estate sales in McHenry, Crystal Lake and Woodstock. I also found a vintage hand embroidered Christmas tablecloth for $4, a wooden box for $3, a glass rooster for $1, a frog figure for $3, a tin plate for 25 cents, a glass candle holder for 50 cents (to create a cake stand with), a pin for $4, a lady head vase for $8 (for my collection and I didn't have one like it), and lots of doilies for 25 cents each. It was definitely a me day!
I'm soaking a few of the tablecloths at a time. I was surprised that they were all in good condition. No holes and only a few stains.
Once again, I'm redoing Austin's room. I am putting a child's size potting table in his room for his nutcracker collection. He used that table when he was little and I just stored it in the garage for later. Well, later is now and I think it will work. His nutcracker collection is growing too quickly to display. He told me today that when he gets older and buys a house, he'll make one room just for his nutcracker collection. I can see it now......
