Say hello to my new tablecloth. Isn't it lovely? I found it at the bottom of a basket of old linens in a junk shop for the princely sum of £1. I don't think I've ever been so eager to wash and iron anything before!
Smelling oh so sweet and fresh from its garden airing and looking oh so sweet and fresh on my kitchen table, a last glimpse of summery days.
Not sure if it's the colour combination, that petal pink and aqua blue made me rush to my sewing cupboard and find some materials for ragging straightaway. It could be the beautiful blowsy roses set against a trellis of charcoal grey.
It could be the beautiful feel of the old slubby linen. It doesn't really matter because for a few minutes this morning, my kitchen was experiencing a summer it hasn't seen for a long time.
Hope you all have a great weekend with the chance of seeing some sunshine. Me? I'm off to do something awfully exciting with this giant tub of flying saucers, joss sticks, wellies and a bunch of teenagers ... see you on the other side!

I love the sound of 'old slubby linen'! I remember eating flying saucers on the run up to Christmas. My Auntie turned a large coffee jar into a snowman then filled it with flying saucers to be eaten before the build up to the big day!
How lovely....wonderful shade of blue!
Wow at the price!xxx
That is one gorgeous tablecloth. I never turn up gems like that. I love that pink and aqua blue type combination. I'd forgotten about flying saucers I used to love those as a child. Have fun and stay warm!
Such a BEAUTIFUL tablecloth Kim - I love it and a real bargain too - well done to you!
And what an earth are you up to with joss sticks and flying saucers....I do hope you will spill the beans!
Have fun, whatever may be involved!

OK all I saw on this post was the flying saucers, they have this effect on me!!!!
What a bargain, and a wonderful match with your furniture.
You have certainly spent your pound wisely :) It is truly beautiful and I am sure sits right at home in your beautiful home

Wow, beautiful tablecloth, lucky you, just shows a spot of rummaging is always worthwhile.
My son is having a space themed birthday party next week and you've reminded me that I need to find some of those flying saucers. Oh dear, a trip to Hope & Greenwood, what a chore!

What a treat to have another fling with summer - great find!
What a find, you really do get your hands on some treasures. It makes a change to see something lovely and feminine but not pink.
I *thought* that was a giant tub of flying saucers - yum! Decorating with sweeties, always a good idea ;-)
What a great find and a bargain to boot! This just looks so like you Kim. I thought at first that it was handpainted. I hope you had a great weekend? The weather here was amazing.
Hugs ~

I hope you got some sun this weekend, like us.
I love that pink jug.
Ooooh it's so pretty and what a bargain! And our roses are about to burst into bloom - hopefully the possums won't eat the buds before they do!!
Hi Kim,
Loooove the table cloth the colours are just beautiful.
Cheers Linda
that table cloth is a real beauty, I'm jealous.
Mmm flying saucers! ...I mean what a pretty bargain!
It's lovely!
Wow! That's sublime, the combination of those particular shades of pink and blue is beautiful beyond words..:)
Beautiful tablecloth, no wonder you couldn't wait to get it home. Hope you came through the otherside!!
