Posted a picture of a few of mine. Like I said on my site, the more things I collect the more my kids will have to take back to the thrift in about 30 years.

Oh, Ginny, do I have an apron for you. Send your address to my email and I will send the apron to you. I used to collect aprons but started to collect vintage tablecloths and decided to just concentrate on those for linens. Most of my aprons have been given away as gifts. I have two left. One, a crocheted one I am keeping but the other one I will send to you.
I just found two vintage candllabras at the thrift store today.They are silverplated and have dangling glass beads on them. I just had to have them.
Helena, I love your stash. Really colorful.

I absolutely love vintage tablecloths too, and really just about all vintage linens, fabrics, etc. from the 40's, 50's, 60's and even some 70's. Love it all! Here is a peek at just some of my "stash". And this is just the tip of the iceberg! :-)
Ginny, I love your beautiful linens!!

so true....my father in law has a whole house full of stuff and he just does not understand why we do not want all of it!!! Where would we put it? I have brought a lot of things home, but I myself am trying to get rid. Love your tablecloths.....speaking of that, I brought about 6 home from my father-in-law's house, and gave three of them to my daughter who is enamored with old 50's stuff, which is now now called mid-century.... :)

I adore vintage table clothes from the 1940-50's but I do something with them...if I find a round one I make it into a full circle skirt...I don't care if they are stained ect because for me that adds to them....I also use them hanging on rods like curtains since I can't stand to put them all away...my kitchen dining room area is all pretty crazy in theme so they work well even if each window has a different on on it....if really a mess they get cut up & used in my clothing I make so they can live on as something else....Michele'

I adore them but they are hard to find here! Only have about 6 in my collection and love every one. Actually found a small 32x32 yesterday at the thrift shop. It was in great condition with two barely there stains on it, hand embroidered tea pots and decorations on each corner for 1.25! The amount of work put into it and 1.25! I will be putting it in our trailer tomorrow for the holiday weekend. enjoyed seeing your photo!

That is so true Nancy. I have only one son 35 years old who says he wants none of my "junk". I beg your pardon it is not junk they are treasures, there is a big difference but he sure does not see it:-)
I just love vintage tablecloths too and there is no such thing as to many is there? Awe heck who am I kidding I love anything vintage, and our Goodwill here is my best friend. I love Tuesdays and Wednesdays as I get my 15% Military Discount on Tuesday, and my 15% Discount on Wednesday, oh live is good!
