Love the colours of the tablecloth. It would be so good having a fabric store within walking distance especially one that makes your decision making easy.
That is so pretty, Diana. Of course, I like about anything with flowers, but the colors on that are really nice. Easy to do tablecloth too! :D
What a beautiful fabric! It must make it a lot nicer to sit down for lunch. How nice of you to do something like this for your co-workers :-)
I love the fabric for the tablecloth. It is gorgeous.
