It's huuuge!! And such beautiful embroidery -
It was a grey day yesterday when I took photos - and clearly my ironing skills aren't up to much!, but you get the idea of the loveliness of this cloth, I hope.....
Such a lot of hard work someone put in sometime....
Mmmmm!

A friend recently gave me an orchid in a pot - I have to say I'm not a big fan of orchids, as they're rather 'static' flowers, but there's no denying they're beautiful -
:)
Stangely yes I have fallen in love with a table cloth - If you look in my archives in April 2009 I feature it. I bought it in a cheap antiques shop and it said that it had been embroidered during the war in an air raid shelter in Chatham docks - so I fell in love with its history too. xxxxx
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely must have taken ages to make. I agree about the Orchid much better growing wild.

ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me! I completely agree about orchids, I tend to feel they are quite 'plastic' and not very real somehow. Very pretty tho'. Julie

I agree with you about orchids. I, too, love the tablecloth and your green glass bowls.
