Want to see the fabric casualties? Of course you do! First up, a vividly colored tablecloth festooned (no one ever says this word in real life!) with poinsettias and holly garlands:

Our house will be full of family this holiday season, so we’ve decided to pull out a different vintage tablecloth every day. Last night I set the table for brunch. Only four of us will be sitting down to French toast and Mimosas:
At the moment all is calm, all is very bright! I love the twisted candy cane border on the tablecloth.

What a great display! Everything pops against that green door.

I snapped some photos of red & green. Take a look!
Would you believe I found even MORE tiny vintage table toppers?

Would you like to see my newest tiny table toppers?
First up, a bright sailcloth piece with Wilendur-style pattern blocks. (It doesn’t have a pink stain. I took a crummy photo. No one will pin it on Pinterest now.)
It’s 30″ long and was cut from yardage 36″ wide. Two edges are hemmed, the other two are selvages.
