~RED, WHITE AND ...ARE YOU KIDDING??~

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

  3. I 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.
    I 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!

  13. Hi Mona...
    I 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

  14. 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!

  15. I 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!
    Have a wonderful holiday weekend, Mona!
