What to do, what to do....

On January 22, 2013 I posted that I was toying with the idea of taking the leaf out of the dining room table and only putting it in when family comes. But I kept thinking about how many 102" tablecloths I own for that table. But it takes up so much room in the kitchen that I was just so undecided.


Flash forward to April 1, 2015. I came home from work and there was a catalog from a linen company in the mail. I sat right down on the couch to chat with hubby and I was glancing through and found this. One thing you need to know is I love to shop but only at bargain prices. I fell in love with this tablecloth. I have been looking for one like this for years. But then I looked at the price of the 102" one and knew I would never buy it.



I just flipped the catalog around and showed it to Hubby. I said "If it wasn't for that leaf in the table, the smaller size tablecloth is very affordable and I would order me one." Next thing I knew, he is up out of his chair telling me to help him pull the table apart. He takes everything off the table and we put the middle piece in our closet. I now have a table that a 70" tablecloth will fit. I am so happy with how much more room I have.


We are heading out to do a little shopping today since Hubby and I both have a three day weekend. I want to stop by Kohl's and look at sandals for Easter Sunday. I may check out their tablecloths while I am there. I need to run by AC Moore and Target while I'm out. Hopefully I can find what I'm looking for.

I have a table that works at three different lengths and it is crazy to have that many table clothes! I usually keep one leaf in all the time and put the second in only when we have a big group (I can seat 10 comfortably and 12 with elbows touching!) Crazy. I like your new cloth and it's great that it gives you more space to move around!
