One of the most important parts of French Country decor is table linens. The table is the central point of a living room or a dining room. Important gatherings with friends and family usually happen around the table. In France, a family dinner can last for many hours where guests do not leave the table. The table can be covered with a tablecloth. If the table is too pretty to cover, placemats and/or a runner can be used to protect it. Most of our tablecloths feature a stain-resistant treatment making them easy to care for, and suitable for outdoor as well as indoor use.
I bought this to replace a tablecloth just like it that I accidentally ruined! (While on vacation, I left a potted plant on it, and it molded beyond my ability to clean it..) it’s pretty and repels stains, but not mold stains that are three weeks old! Wash, dry, and fold or use without ironing.
I used to buy these table linens at the markets in Provence and have used and loved them forever. I hadn't been able to find them until I found "I Dream of France". My placemats literally had holes in them and my husband was not happy but I kept using them because i loved the fabric and the pattern. The placemats and tablecloths are exactly the same quality and I believe are the same manufacturers as those in France, I love them. The coated ones wipe clean and launder beautifully as do the uncoated placemats. I am so happy to have found "I Dream of France". Sinde I can't use any more myself, I will buy them for gifts I know will be loved for years to come.
Love this towel. It's very absorbent and lovely as well.
