It hung down the sides of the table by only an inch or two all around so I wonder if their table sizes are different in Europe. It didn't look very nice, so even though the lace was heavenly, I boxed it up and gave it back to our daughter. I doubt it will ever see the light of day again.<br />JudithJudith @ Lavender Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361061491506137380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184510138812887851.post-65357894467036106482013-03-23T17:53:18.633-06:002013-03-23T17:53:18.633-06:00Lovely lace table cloth...
