June has been a crazy month for me for many reasons.
Here is just one....
A couple of weeks ago when preparing for a graduation party for the two grandchildren, I began looking for tablecloths, white linen ones to be specific which were requested by daughter Mary who was bringing the table settings..and since I had loaned two of them out some time back and never had them returned to me, I was doubtful if I had any, but, I did. (puff puff! Take a breath, Mona!)
You know when you want something and you keep thinking you will get out there and find it? well, I wanted a red and white checked tablecloth for my July 4th decor. I kept thinking I had one..but decided I must have misplaced it and that I would keep an eye out at the garage sales for one. I have been doing exactly that, but no luck...and then...
....while looking for the white ones for the party...and going through the linen closets, THIS is what I discovered!
Yep! I found five! Yes, FIVE red and white checked tablecloths...and another one later after I took this photo. I mean...what the heck???
Hugs,
Mona
*sigh*
Well, you obviously love red checkered tablecloths! LOL Nothing wrong with that now is there?
ReplyDeleteDI
You can never have too many - can you? lol
ReplyDeleteI have lot's of table cloths because you just never know. My problem....Where in the heck are they? I can find the basic ones but for the speicial occassion ones...hmmm. I usually find them when I am not looking for them.
ReplyDeleteI really like your red ones. Those look like they can last a liftime. They don't make things like they used to.
Have a great week Mona!
How many times have your thought you needed to look out for a red and white table clothe? LOL! Four or Five. Sounds like my tricks Mona. Have a wonderful 4th!
ReplyDeleteIf you were around the corner...I would try to borrow one! heehee! But I would return it, really I would! Enjoy your holiday! We have company coming! YAY! ♥
ReplyDeleteGreat find. You must have some really deep closets. Hope you and your daughter are doing okay.
ReplyDeleteMona, you are SO funny!!! I can just see me doing this, and indeed I have! Sometimes I wonder where my mind is going! Your tablecloths are wonderful--no wonder you bought them all! Have fun using them! Linda
ReplyDeleteIt's always good to have a spare...or two.
ReplyDelete:-) It´s when You least expects it that You find things :-) :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day now!

Hi Mona...
ReplyDeleteI am thrilled for you...I know this just made your day...
so many times, I have loaned a cloth out, never to see again...Guess this is a good reason to keep several on hand...I'll bet your table will look great...
Blessings

I can understand acquiring things and then forgetting you have them! It happens to me too (though usually not with FIVE duplicates!! :D I typically find my originals about 15 minutes after I have despaired and bought home a new one (whatever it is!) It is good to have back-up!
ReplyDeleteI know how it is to look for something you just know you have, but can't quite remember where you put it...that is one reason I have scaled down on what I bring into the house!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful holiday weekend, Mona!
