These extremely cute placemats were a find one year on holidays by the beach, actually the same opshop where we found these. As I recall they were $1 each!
The parasols are just perfectly perfect vintage and I love that each placemat has a different colour scheme, which roughly seem to fit into the seasons.
We have spring
Summer
Autumn
Winter
and a funny green and orange combination where I am guessing the stitcher used her leftover threads? Not being an orange person I have to say this is my least favourite of the lot. But surfing on lots of vintage and creative blogs has given me an appreciation for orange I never expected to have.
I must remember to use these placemats more and not leave them in the drawer. I love them.

I made a vow to bring out my good china and real napkins (not tearing a paper towel in half like usual) and the nice bowls and serving spoons. It really makes dinner more special- so yes- use these and enjoy!
Those are just as cute as they can be. I love the work that went into making these. Great find indeed.
