Sentimental Gift from the Past

This 'Antique' tablecloth was hand embroidered by my grandmother or possibly by her mother (my g grandmother) as part of her wedding trousseau. The fabric is percale.

The tablecloth is at least 150 years old. It was given to me by my aunt (grandmother's oldest child) on one of my visits to Sicily (in the 1970s).

I hope my granddaughter will someday appreciate the sentimental attachment that I have to my ancestors and hers.
