I decided to do a table with my newest finds. Yesterday I posted about these place mats, they are pieces cut from an old quilt-not even hemmed. I picked them up at Dwellings, a shop owned by another Ms blogger.
I just love them.Wish I had bought more.
I picked up these dishes a couple of weeks ago. They are very thin, you can actually see your hand if you hold them up to the light-almost like real milk glass. These have arcopal and France stamped on the back. I don't think they are old at all, but they sure are pretty.Of course I am a sucker for blue and white.
I used my white milk glass goblets,they seemed old fashioned and right with the old quilt placemats.I am joining Marty for Tabletop Tuesday at

May I be the first to say that your table is great?!! I loved that old quilt (and somebody was going to throw it out!) Not on my watch! Loved all the different little fabrics which I am pretty sure were flour sacks!thanks for the "great press"! Come see us again!
Fondly,

What a great idea with an old quilt!
I love dishes too! Last week someone I know had an 8 piece setting with serving pieces she had bought years ago and was just was going to throw them out! I said, heck no! I'm taking them and I did!

I like the table scape.
The quilts look fantastic with those dishes.
I think using pieces of an old quilt for placemats is a wonderful idea. The blue and white dishes are just beautiful. What a lucky find.

Stunning blue dishes! Arcopal was one of our first purchases wen we moved up here 22 years ago---not those gorgeous ones, but an everyday little silver-rim/pink streak pattern. We got service for 12 for about $20.00 at a flea narket, and the plates and bowls are still our everyday dishes.
And only one breakage I can remember in all those years. The guy took a dinnerplate and sort of Frisbeed it out onto the bare floor, and when it didn't break, we bought a set.
I love this idea! Thanks for sharing at the All Star Block Party.

I love this idea so much - what a great way to use old quilts. Thanks for sharing this at the All Star Block Party.
Vickie,
I love your old quilted place mats. I see old quilts all the time at the auction that I attend. Now I know what to do with them even if they are damaged. Yipee!
Love those placemats! They are just beautiful!
