Just Arrived: Orange Gingham and Green Lace Oilcloth

Look at what the UPS man brought us this week! Green Paradise Lace and Orange Gingham oilcloth for the up coming holiday seasons!

Here are some fun combinations that I love with the green lace oilcloth.

You can take this girlie by adding pinks, autumnal with greens and browns,

or go holiday and pair it with the reds!

My favorite combo is the cherries, I am thinking cherry tablecloth with a thin green lace trim.

I bought the orange gingham with one thing in mind, Halloween.

But now that I see it I

like it for so much more!

The orange lace is not a great match, I added that so you could see.

I love the browns and the greens. That green dot is my favorite!

Great Idea, recipe books covers

Try this with oilcloth... diy wednesdays: lauren and derek’s cookbook covers. We found this yesterday on Design Sponge and we think that it would totally cute to substitute the thin vinyl tablecloths with oilcloth! I bet most of my cookbooks are Fat Quarter size. I wonder if I could get my 11 year old daughter to get working on this project for me?

I am missing my Oilcloth Alfresco Series! I really wish I had the time to do a few more projects for you but my other business, Modern June, is needing a lot of my attention these days.

How wonderful is this? I just found this over at the craft:zine. Maya*Made has shown us how to create a fantastic Summer Pavilion. I know my kids would love to make this, and you know I love the oilcloth mat!
