Lovely and inexpensive holiday linens

These are flying out the door: linens for your holiday table. Runners, toppers, tea towels, tablecloths... all are really well-priced. It's a quick way to add a little spark to your settings. The snowflake design is sheer enough to layer over another tablecloth (or just leave it as is -- love it!). The woodland/swedish christmas design (with stitched reindeer) is one of those amazing pieces that can go rustic or modern (only a few left, however), and the bold graphics on our brand new damask cottons add a pop of color and pattern wherever they go (the aprons are fab, too). Try a runner on your entry table or sideboard to change it up a bit. If you do put a runner down the middle of your dining table, remember that it doesn't have to go over the ends; in fact, I love the European style of using runners across the width (rather than length) of the table and treating them as placemats for two (there's even a name for that: "tête à tête"). A smallish square topper (say, 36") looks great placed as a diamond shape over a larger table. Stop by Pomegranate for some ideas!
