cotton table cloth |
My cousin sent a package with a bundle of vintage linens that came from our aunt's home. Josie was my mother's oldest sister, an adult when my mother was born and her surrogate mother. That is the only
provenance I have for these things, which means some of them could be as old as the turn of the century. They traveled a lot so the decorative things may have come from anywhere. At first I though this one was a holiday kind of thing but on closer inspection of the elements, it's just plain quirky. I dimly recall Aunt Jo
doing some kind of needlework. This just might be from her head and hand. I will consult the older cousins...

These are just great...the first looks like a forties Mexican themed design and the bottom one like a thirties or twenties abstract. Lucky you. Might make some fine shirts if you don't need them for tables.
What a fun find!
