Magpie Monday!

Over at the fab blog Me and my shadow its magpie monday. Now my item for today is a slight cheat but I hope you will forgive me! Like my wonderful neice over at Mama syder, I also love old fabric. A few years ago I used to work for a very nice lady who had some wonderful vintage things. One day she asked me if I would drop of some things to the charity shop on my way home. I got all the way home a had forgotten I had them and the bag had broken. So I took out everything to re bag, and to be honest most of it was totally boring!. However, deep inside the bag there was a little gem! It was 4 beautiful place mats or little table toppers and some napkins. They were a little yellow but were so nice I nearly died! I rang and asked her if she minded I have them and make a donations to the shop, and she said help yourself.
I washed and ironed them and sadly my picture does not show them in great detail, but they really are wonderful. I think they must be very old but I love them. On special times they come out like christmas and they always wash up like new. So please forgive the wee cheat and I hope you enjoy my find anyway!

    I never knew you and Mama Syder were related! Maybe I just never twigged!

    Great that you intercepted them - they are still second hand and rescued, and you clearly tresure them. As well you should because they are adorable.

    Thanks for linking up x
