Searching Etsy for vintage tablecloths, we came across a lot of ideas for setting the table. These Button Print Tea Towels by Annabel Waterman ($15) would make a unique set of napkins. We also found patchwork placemats, industrial felt for the tabletop, and a few simple centerpiece ideas. Click below for more.

Etsy is my new favorite site. I'm amazed at all the beautiful handcrafted things that are pretty affordable. The nice thing is that most is made in USA, and you are supporting the crafter...not to mention that the items are unique. Great site!
