What is Oilcloth? Oilcloth Tablecloths

What is Oilcloth?

Oilcloth has been around for about 100 years. You may remember walking into your grandmas kitchen and seeing a similar tablecloth on her kitchen table. It was relatively inexpensive, and often sold by the foot or yard in hardware or yardage stores. The original oilcloth was created by coating block-printed canvas or linen with linseed oil resin With age, the resin and design would crack and flake off.

Today’s high-tech version is a vinyl-permeated cotton mesh. It won’t crack and peel but has the same shine and color vibrancy of the oilcloth of yesteryear.

Some of today’s oilcloth is printed using some of the vintage designs, in many cases using the actual plates and rollers that were used for the vintage oilcloth.

Our tablecloths are durable even when used with hot plates. Waterproof and protected with a clear finish fade, stain, and soil resistant. They are easy to wipe clean with a warm, soapy sponge. Do not machine wash, or dry. Look at the pretty designs

ABOUT GROWING OLDER...

First ~ Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age
and start bragging about it.

Second ~ The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.

Third ~ Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people
to know "why" I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the
roads weren't paved.

Fourth ~ When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think
of Algebra.

Fifth ~ You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or
leaks.

Sixth ~ I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.

Seventh ~ One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is
such a nice change from being young.

Eighth ~ One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.

Ninth ~ Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.

Tenth ~ Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was
called witchcraft. Today it's called golf.

And finally ~ If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have
anything to laugh at when you are old.
