The picnic rug

Old fashioned bedspread

I love this old velvet cut bedspread. I spotted it in a friend's garage about 15 years ago. It was pled up with another velvet cup blue patterned table cloth and about 4 hand embroidered linen cloths of various sizes. It came from an old Jewish friend of her Mother's. She had volunteered to take them all to St Vinnies. Needless to say I took the lot of her hands right there and then.

I have a large collection of velvet cushions of various colours and shapes that sit so well on this rug. Just perfect to put out in the shade for resting after a long lunch.
