After nearly 40 years of Corel Winter White dishes for every day, I have
taken the plunge, and ordered new dishes - from one extreme to the
other. I'm getting Clay Art's Toscana - multi-colored Tuscan inspired
dishes, with 4 different colors for place settings, and pieces within
those settings varied in colors. Essentially, green, orange, yellow and
brown. Square plates! Boredom ends here!

None of my tablecloths, with the possible exception of a plain gold one
are going to go with these dishes. To be honest, we rarely sit at table
for a meal, anyway, but I would like to have at least one cloth that
will "harmonize" with my colorful new dinnerware. I've been looking and
thinking -- I think what I want it a kind of homespun with stripes or
plaid. I could hem the edges, or fringe them, I think. I've checked
the web for ready-made, and looked at fabrics.com for something
suitable, and so far, nothing. Any ideas?

I have stacks of beautiful table cloths I pick up at thrift stores.
Lace, wovens, vintage 40's prints they are all out there. I think
less folks use them and just let go of them after awhile. Biz
takes out most stains and the price is usually pretty good.

That's a great idea, and is - in fact - where most of my tablecloths
came from. My stash goes well with my plain white dishes, but I don't
think they will be so good with my new colorful ones. I'll have to hit
some of my favorite thrifts.

When I decide to make a tablecloth, I end up looking at the sheets to see if
I can find a pattern with the colors I want. It's worked for me before!

Thanks. That's another good idea.
