Vintage Thingies/Tablescape Thursday

I am doing a double duty post today.

Vintage Thingies Thursday
and Tablescape Thursday!!
Thank you to Suzanne over at Coloradolady for hosting Vintage Thingies Thursdays.
And thank you to Susan at Between Naps on the Porch
for hosting Tablescape Thursdays.
I have shared this tablecloth before, but not on a Vintage Thingies post yet.
Here is a picture of it before I washed it.
This tablecloth was made many years ago by one
of my hubby's grandmothers.

Helmi is here to watch how I do the cleaning
and trying to help too.
Now I have it soaking in my sink.
I should have worn gloves that day.
My hands were a mess after all the soaking I did that day.
This was not the only vintage thingie I cleaned that day.
Here it is after I cleaned it.
I could not find the stains anywhere
so I guess that means they came out.
Yay!
The tablecloth all stretched out on the table with a blue one
underneath.
Now I want to get tablecloths in other colors
for different looks for that table.

A closeup of the edge.
Beautiful work.
There are a few places where it has come apart.
I may play with that and make sure it does not
come apart any worse.
But I have to say it has held up well over the years.

Another vintage thingie I used are these napkins.
They belonged to my godmother years ago.
Her last name started with "L".
Since my married name also starts with an "L"
They were passed on to me.

A couple of these had stains on them and the Oxyclean
got them out just fine.

Another Vintage Thingie I used in my tablescape.
This tablerunner made my mother-in-law I think,
but it could have been one of the grandmothers,
was very dirty on the folds.
So it was soaked in the Oxyclean too!
Look no fold lines.
Worked great as a tablerunner in my
Easter tablescape!
See, here is a peek at my Easter table.

Here is another Vintage Thingie cloth
I had to soak also.
Another handmade from hubby's family.
One stain did not come out.
You can barely see it just to the above right
of the butter dish I'm using as a dome thing here.
This is on my coffee table.

And now for the Tablescape part!
This is only the second time I have done a tablescape.
My Good Times Noritake Progression China.
Capistrano Silverware.
Princess House Glassware.

The little baskets were from the Dollar Tree.
I got two of them.
The bunny salt and pepper shakers
I found at the Hallmark Store.
I added green grass to the centerpiece
like one commenter suggested when I posted this
centerpiece idea earlier.
More pics of the bunny salt and pepper shakers.
Aren't they cute?

A final peak at my table.

I will have to share that high chair in the background

in another Vintage Thingie post.

Because it is a Vintage Thingie!

Happy Thursday!
