Vintage Picnic



My picnic hamper is always close by (I use it to store empty egg cartons--we have chickens--on the top of the fridge). But it's nice to haul it out for a picnic now and then.



I know I keep saying "this is one of my favorite WHATEVER", but I really do have a thing for vintage linens so you can see what kind of trouble I'm in with them. But I love applique embroidery work and this flower pot of ivy theme really sends me!



I came across a box of 500 doilies at the thrift store--I think they must have been from a restaurant supply--mine now! I use them everywhere.



Strawberry picnic ware.



Recent vintage chicken towel, but oh so cheery!




Here's a full view of my little polka dot pot tablecloth.



And 5o's print cherry table cloth--One of my favorites! What can I say?!




Thanks so much for popping over to see me! Ciao! for now!

  20. Loved looking at your linens. I think I have the one you have pictured last with the cherries. I've always wanted to make a blouse out of the tattered and torn ones, but then.. I can't sew!!
