At Peacock Pottery, of course we sell Polish Pottery, last year we added some German linens.  The 36" table squares are one of my favorite ways to dress up a room.

While living in Poland, we tried to travel as much as possible, either around Poland or taking a couple of days to tour around different countries.  One of my favorite items to purchase were linens - for 2 reasons.  1.  Easy to pack in a suitcase   2.  All handmade - this is a talent that I can appreciate - my grandmother could crochet - something I've never tried. 

Currently in my "Linen" closet, I have tablecloths from Germany, Poland, Hungary & France - each one of them has a memory tied to them - which makes using them even more fun for me - who doesn't love great vacation memories?

When I added the German Table Squares to the website last year, I received quite a few comments on how beautiful they were, but people weren't quite sure what to do with them.  So here are a couple of ideas for decorating, I hope you enjoy dressing up your dining room like I do.

1.  In the middle of your dining room table (rectangular) like a diamond. 

2.  Put a plain colored tablecloth and then lay the square in the middle for an elegant look.

3  Use as a topper on a round corner table.

                                       

Change the linens out with the seasons or your mood - have fun.
