Table Talk

“Why do you even put one on the table Mom?” 

That is a good question.  I love to add a touch of “home” to my kitchen with an antique table cloth.  It’s a new tradition in our home, and one that I think will stay. I don’t intentionally shop for them.  For some reason, they seem to show up here and there on there own.  

The second one from the left, has a 1961 pattern date on it.  I did not pay more than $4 for each of these larger ones, and no more than $2.00 for the square or round smaller ones.  The kids seeing them on the table too. 

And although these are "antique" I buy them to use them.  I also came across a large cloth seed bag that will most likely be re-purposed into something new.

Worth Buying

We debated, and debated, but it was worth the cost.  We only buy natural peanut butter, and mixing the oil in once it’s opened is messy.  With so many kids, we bought one and absolutely love it.  It fits right onto the glass peanut butter jar.  There’s no mess and the kids don’t hate mixing it anymore. You can buy these from Lehman's on-line, or by visiting the Lehman's store.  Be sure to measure your jars, they make these in 2 sizes.  As shown in the photo, it fits perfect on a Smucker's natural peanut butter jar, however Smucker's adds additional sodium to their peanut butter.  Check your jar size before you order one to be sure.
