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.
