Catching up: Tablecloth Thursday and Friday Fiver

We interrupt your Silver Bella recap to bring you:

Tablecloth Thursday! I took the photos yesterday but didn't get them posted, so I'm a day late.

This week it's my vintage Thanksgiving tablecloth, an excerpt of which you see here. I bought this last year sometime at a thrift store and I feel so lucky to have found it, as I know it probably wasn't a common design. It has a mustard-colored panel in the middle and a design of orange and mustard fall squash & veggies in the border, punctuated by cute little Pilgrim village scenes like this one. It has a few stains that I now suspect are rust, so if I can get hold of some Whink I'll see if I can get them out. Otherwise, I love it!

And today's Friday Fiver:

1. What's the last thing you threw away?
A sodden diaper and the eggshell from Maren's scrambled egg breakfast.
2. Have you ever been to Paris?
Yes, almost this exact time of year, but in 1998. We spent Thanksgiving there. Can't believe it was so long ago! Maybe I should get working on that scrapbook, eh?
3. What do you stare at?
My Bloglines, waiting for it to update. :) I'm addicted!
4. What do you hurry for?
I hurry get things done during Maren's naptime, my only chance for a little peace & quiet.
5. Friday fill-in:I could have been ___.
I could have been showered & dressed by now if I hadn't gotten sucked into looking at the extra clearance items on Talbots.com.

More Silver Bella to come!
