Shopping challenge: Spring table linens
Although the weather is still dreadful, I have started to think about the spring entertaining season. Along with the cupcake decorating party, I have a brunch and Easter event coming up soon. After a long winter or Cornish game hen, red wine and balsamic vinegar my current linens are looking worse for wear. In fact, I think it is time to dye the damask table cloth that is less white than other colors these days. Maybe a lilac or olive?
What I need is a new white table cloth, a bright pair or runners and a set of fun napkins. The tablecloth is pretty simple. This “hotel tablecloth” from William-Sonoma is just right. For the napkins, I like this “birdwatching” set from Anthropologie or these chikadee napkins from Gump’s. For the runner, this kiwi choice from Neiman Marcus is fun or maybe I’ll make my own using green or yellow canvas. A few years ago, Margaret made me two runners in a pumpkin canvas and I use them all the time. Does anyone know of a great source for table linens?
