Wild Tablecloth Chase!

Scouting for firewood yielded quite a crop this morning!

Loaded.

Split.

Ready to burn!

Yesterday, while in Santa Fe, we had lunch at Cafe Castro

The food was marginal,

but the tablecloths were very CUTE!

As we were leaving, I asked about them

and was told that they are sold on the Plaza.

My source also had heard that they were available

at Jackalope and it was just across the street,

(where we discovered the HUGE hats).

I located the colorful cloths and gasped 

at the price of $49.  No way!

Thinking that Hobby Lobby would likely have the fabric,

we stopped there.

As I questioned the salesperson in fabrics,

she informed me that even though they didn't carry it, 

it was available at a new fabric store 

across from Trader Joe's.  Going there, anyway!

Unfortunately, there was no fabric store visible from Trader Joe's.

We asked a clerk, but received little more information.

I Googled "fabric stores" on my iPhone maps

and off we went to Santa Fe Fabrics.

The bright, bold oilcloth fabrics were featured outside the store

with a great selection inside.

AND they were $10 per yard!

S-C-O-R-E!

At 48" width, of course I needed 1 1/3 yard.

Mickey helped, OK he drew the circle and I cut it out.

So what do you think?

I hope that it doesn't tone down the newly painted

table too much!

Thinking of how to use it tomorrow...
