I started remodeling a room this past week-end by doing demolition work on the walls. About three layers down was wallpaper in the EXACT same pattern of the Vintage Strawberry 1940's table cloth! My house is 121 years old, but this particular room had been an add on when they decided to update the house with indoor pluming. Now I have an idea of the time frame of the addition. The pattern is not surprising, because I live in a neighborhood called "Strawberry Hill" (and I actually have wild strawberries that appear in my backyard every year). Thanks for helping me solve a mystery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8367057002391131704.post-15048099170574144562007-02-02T09:41:51.044-05:002007-02-02T09:41:51.044-05:00My grandma had cross-stitched tablecloths very sim...My grandma had cross-stitched tablecloths very similar to these for all her grandchildren.

They wrinkle like crazy if you dry them in the dryer. I find it best to iron them dry and use a little spray starch. (Supposedly keeps stains from sinking into the fabric.)<br><br>Love your pyrex collection by the way. It got me to start picking up some blue & white ones. (I have a blue & white obsession.) Blue & white seems to be a bit harder to find than the other colors. Maybe I should branch out. :)<br><br>Riley & Tiki's MomTiki & Kirby (& sometimes Kesey)http://www.blogger.com/profile/05062272532150537519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8367057002391131704.post-16670072483881565762007-02-02T10:47:30.306-05:002007-02-02T10:47:30.306-05:00My grandma also had the dishes with the green flow...My grandma also had the dishes with the green flowers around the edge.

I have been collecting vintage printed tablecloths for about 6 years and was a founding member and past VP of the Vintage Tablecloth Lovers Club. I hope my site can be a great resource to fellow collectors. <br><br>An important part of tablecloth care is to hang the cloths to dry instead of using the dryer because the tumble and heat of the dryer shortens the life of these treasures.Karen (The Vintage Table)http://www.thevintagetable.netnoreply@blogger.com
