My friend, Terry, is the best person in the world. Really, trust me, she is. Terry is a psychologist. Besides that, she has a lot of wisdom and is the soul of kindess.
I recommend having a friend who is a psychologist because it is cheaper than psychotherapy AND you can call them at home in the evening. I have a collection of friends who are psychologists or therapists. Psychologists...collect all three! This is an odd thing, but I collect them like I collect Virginian Pilot newspaper reporters.
Anyway, back to Terry being the best person in the world...Terry went to an estate sale last week. We chatted on the phone. Then she said those words that make every vintage vixen's heart sing, "I went through a box of vintage linens and took what I wanted. When you come over, I'll give the box to you, so you can see if you find anything."
I found quite a few things, but nothing more than this beautiful hand-painted fall tablecloth and matching napkin set.
Here's some detail of the painted pattern:
I had to do a new bouquet. Strangely, it pleased me that I put the flowers in a depression glass canister marked "flour." I'm odd and fanciful that way.
The little leaves are actually ashtrays from my Franciscan Ivy pattern.
Thank you, Terry, for this cooling bit of Autumn during dusty dry summer days. You are such a Proverbs 31 woman.
