Christmas Vintage. Tablecloths.

[scotrace]

It's a paradox: Best time to buy vintage Christmas decorative items is in the summer, when prices are lower. But the better stuff comes out to sell at Christmas time, when prices are higher (of course). I'm finding some fun items to share.

Here are a few tablecloths from the 40's-60's. These are often difficult to nail down in age, because the genre is all about nostalgia. So patterns get re-used and resurrected over the years.

This one is quite amazing, with a price to match:

More modestly priced, this one claims to hail from Sweden.

This one says 40's, but I have one like it from the 70's. Long pattern shelf life.

I love those! Might have to get one, now that you've put the bee in my bonnet. You're a bad man, Scot.
