Today's picture/tablecloth on clothesline



My friend Judi gave me this old tablecloth today and I just love it.

I like the shadows of the clothesline and the clothespins on the tablecloth.

  1. Nan, that cloth is lovely. I clicked to enlarge and get a better view- love the gardening scenes.
    I have a funny cloth with a campfire theme- fires, spit roasts and the lot.
    I use proper cloths all the time, and really like the old embroidered ones.

  8. It's a beauty! I had one that was very similar - it belonged to my hubby's grandmother.

    Your lilies are gorgeous - I have some yellow ones and two new ones this year - they are sort of a peachy colour. I'm going to add more next year. They are the nicest perennials - so showy!

  9. Interesting composition, Nan! You make a retro tablecloth look like an statement of abstract expressionism!

    Farmhouse Kitchen, I don't have any of my mother's tablecloths so this one really means very much to me. And thanks about the pic. I just looked out the window and was wowed by the sight so I went right out with the camera.

    June, what a nice thing to say. Thanks.

    Staci, maybe the breezes would blow the dirt away??

    Susan, me too!

    Aisling, thank you.

    Island Sparrow, yes they are and so easy to grow!

    Mary Lois, what a great thing to say.
