I look outside longing to get into the garden..see some flowers..see the sunshine! It’s starting to get lighter earlier..barely. In the late night and early morning I hear the Owl deep in the woods..Hoo Hoo. I wonder how he makes it through all this cold, wet, winter weather. When it starts to rain he stops his deep Hooing and goes..I don’t know where?
It’s too cold and rainy outside…so I decide that I need to do something different inside. Then I think..tablecloths!
Tablecloths can bring a little sunshine inside when the outside is too cold! I mean..ya gotta find some sunshine inside don’t ya?
I like to use all different types of tablecloths from very casual plastic and fun to Shabby Chic and Elegant Lace.
Ok now I know all you Moms out there are thinking..”I can’t use those fancy tablecloths! They would be stained and ruined in about an hour of putting it on my table!” I didn’t have a nice tablecloth on my table for years..until I realized when shopping in a craft store one time..the CLEAR plastic covering you can buy. Wow..I bought some and it worked wonders..I put out my really nice tablecloths and covered them with the clear plastic. It worked fantastic! It cleaned really nicely too!
You can also put other things under the clear plastic too. We used to put homeschool things under the clear that we were trying to learn..like a map or something
Do you use tablecloths to spruce up you house?




































Thanks for reminding me to use my tablecloths. I used to and then I got out of the habit. I have some precious ones that my mother made that I like to display.
