The listing, 5 Vintage handmade table cloths tablecloths runner crochet embroidery has ended.
Well, I just can't hold onto everything, can I? Our Mom passed away recently and there's just SO much of my grandmother's and great grandmothers that she held onto. My great grandmother was born in 1888 and my grandmother was born in 1908. Most of these things were made by them during their and my Mother, who was born in 1927, when she was a child.
The first piece is a lovely linen table scarf (as my great Gramma used to call it. Some now call them table runners or cloths :) It has a grapes & leaf design embroidered on both end and has crocheted trim that completely surrounds it. It measures 48" x 19".
The second is stamped and handpainted w/ a hand crocheted trim. It measures 39" x 14 1/2"

The fourth (greenish one) is hand ctoss stitched and machine trimmed and measures 37" x 13" and has a few age/water marks that will probable wash out :)
