PRETTY PISA PURCHASE

Look what I found for 5 Euro ( less than $6.50) from a street vendor in Pisa ( who looked pretty legit). Great on the table, and it will cover the mismatched leaves when they are in the table. The colors are perfect for my dining room and the paisley theme reinforces the curtain fabric. I am kicking myself for not buying several ( there were so many beautiful colors and designs) to hang on the back of comfy chairs, swag over a curtain rod or if I had the confidence to pull it off I could even buy one to wear! I just love it!

Later,
Janet

It is perfect! I bought one similar in Venice last year. I do wear mine, but now you have given me some wonderful ideas!! Thanks Janet...

It's wonderful, and seems to be a perfect match to your colors and drapery fabric. I like your wall color too.

That is something I always try to do on vacation, buy fabrics. I also am able to get fabrics from other countries because of my association with the Sister of Charity, who have missions all over the world. I particularly love those from India.

I love those colors! Hubby and I would like to go back to Europe. There is just so much to see. I love the pictures from the Pisa area.

What a great find.
I'm heading over to Pisa in August and I have been reading loads of sites to find out about what sort of great finds there are over there.
I'll defintely be looking for the street sellers now, as that's a wonderful find!
Thank you
