Collector's Guide To Vintage Tablecloths

WELCOME TO A
COLLECTOR'S GUIDE TO VINTAGE
TABLECLOTHS
Welcome, I'm Pamela Glasell, "Gramasattic",
Author of "The Collector's Guide
To Vintage Tablecloths" Schiffer Publishing, July 2002.
I have been an Ebay seller since 11/98 specializing in Vintage
Printed Tablecloths and other kitchen textiles. If you haven't
already, please take a minute to read my "me" page and
learn how I became obsessed with vintage tablecloths!
Tonight, I'd like to introduce you to the wonderful world of
collecting vintage tablecloths. Although, my time and space here
on the workshop board will not allow huge amounts of information,
I will be presenting an quick overview of the history of the printed
tablecloth and then show you how to quickly "date" your
own tablecloths with a Quick reference summary. I will also show
you pictures of wonderful tablecloths in my personal collection.
At the end of the workshop, I'll leave you with some fun links
to other resources to find out more information about this growing
area of kitchen textile collecting. During the workshop I am happy
to answer any questions and will always be available to answer
questions about my favorite subject any time in the future.
Grama's Attic - Your Host

I think if it was a 1970's design - it would do better, but not the one color ones. I personally remember the 70's and don't want to remember! LOL
Pam

Thanks Pam for another informative venue. I have learned a lot tonight and look forward to chatting with any or all of you at the Linen Lover's board that Pam made reference to earlier in the workshop. Have fun collecting, buying and selling everyone! Elizabeth

Oddly enough, I think part of the reason I'm so hooked on tablecloths is that the only ones in our house were the good damask ones for company. With six kids, I'm sure Mom had other things to take care of! Clare

To All,
My question,since you all love & do collect tablecloths...do you you really use them,or just store them away? I am always switching my table setting over with differnet dish combinations...& different tablecloths. Guest never know what to expect. Just like my vintage dishes...I love to actually use them daily,some collectors...gasp....but if I collect..the love of collecting is getting to use it also!
Kathy,just curious?

I just sold a turquoise and brown waffleweave one this week. It didn't get a lot, but it was damaged. Sometimes there's a buyer for everything.

Clare-you know, the 1950s atomic ones do pretty good-are you talking about those?
Tealt-I have a couple late 50s ones in weird shades of yellow and orange I know would never sell, but I like them.
