block print bargains

Are you a fan of block printed fabrics from India? They are everywhere lately... John Robshaw, Les Indiennes, Pottery Barn, Williams Sonoma and  Rikshaw sell beautiful products made with block prints.  Full Moon Loom, a store on Ebay,  has authentic 100% cotton block print linens at very affordable prices.  We have been using the 60 x 60" Bagru tablecloth on our kitchen table for the last few years. The cost was $29! I have thrown it in the washer and dryer over and over. No ironing either. They are perfect for casual summer meals on the patio too.

They also sell napkins, tapestries, bedspreads and duvet covers. It would be easy to make pillow covers from the napkins or cut one of the tablecloths. You would end up with several pillow covers for under $30!

le jacquard francais

Hard not to love the gorgeous saturated colors of the table linens made by Le Jacquard Francais. We have a few and just throw them in the washer and dryer with stain remover on any food stains after use. They still look brand new without any noticeable wear to the fabric. Very high quality weaving process to produce a beautiful tablecloth like no other. 

The tea towels make beautiful hostess gifts. R.H. Ballard in pretty Little Washington, VA sells a large selection of Le Jacquard Francais here. They also may be purchased on the e-shop of the company's website here. The company even produces coated tablecloths for outdoor use.
