Easter Menagerie of Bunnies, Bugs, Snails, and Ducks! Vintage German Hand Embroidered Tablecloth

Hi!! Welcome friends!! This auction is for a beautiful hand embroidered tablecloth from Germany. This is one of my favorite tablecloths of all time. I love when a tablecloth tells a story, and oh what a story this tablecloth tells. The tablecloth features 4 different scenes. The first scene features a little bunny pulling a cart of Easter eggs in a variety of colors. But as he is transporting his delivery, he comes across a bug. This is not an ordinary bug. He has a cane and is very dapper. Another one of the adorable designs features a bunny giving a tutorial to another bunny on how to properly paint an Easter egg while little ducks watch. Next, you are going to find a scene featuring large mushrooms and a snail. The blue flowers bring the beauty of spring to the design. And last, but definitely not least, you will find a scene with a momma duck followed by her duckling, as well as a pair of bunnies. This tablecloth will leave you ooohing and ahhing all Easter long. These designs are created with a beautiful cross stitch embroidery technique. The stitches are meticulous. I love the selection of colors. The colors are bright and vibrant and just bring happiness to the forefront. Just to give you an idea of the size of the designs, let me give me you the measurements of the scene featuring the ducks. This scene is 11" wide by 2 3/4" high. This is a substantial size.  I am not a fan of pieces with teeny tiny designs. I say the bigger the better. At least, in terms of handwork. I even like the details. Note the lovely weave in the fabric that can be found in the corners, on the sides, and in the center of the tablecloth. I even like the accents of the pink flowers. This white tablecloth measures 30 1/4" by 27". The opening in the center of the tablecloth, inside the woven border, measures 7 1'/4" by 6 3/4". Why would I offer those measurements,  you ask? Because if you are like me, you might want to display a centerpiece or floral arrangement in the middle of the tablecloth. This tablecloth is just one delight after another. It is in excellent condition. If you are looking to provide smiles this Easter, look no further. This tablecloth is the solution. Smiles will be all around when those you love see this cutie of a tablecloth. 

I love this style of tablecloth. These "toppers" are actually a nice German tradition. In Germany, they put a plain colored tablecloth on the table. Then they place these "toppers" catacorner in the center of the table. Then when they go to eat, they remove the topper so it will not become dirty or soiled. I love the tradition. It just seems to have charm. Why not start this charming tradition in your home for the upcoming holiday season?

Please note that I am not willing to negotiate the price by email or message. I am also not willing to divide this lot for price reductions.  Any messages requesting to negotiate or divide will not be answered. Thank you so much for understanding! 

I have recently become part of a new payment processing system. The funds are no longer available immediately as they were in the past. I am unable to ship until funds are not pending. I have allowed 5 days handling time because of this new system and the uncertainty of when the funds will reach the available status. It seems that in most cases, the funds change from pending to available in 24 - 48 business hours. So more than likely, 5 business days will not be necessary for handling time.

I do not profit on shipping. If shipping is less than expected, I will send a refund.

I would like to apologize for my excessive number of pictures. I know that you might be bored with all the pictures, especially since other sellers tend to show 1/2 as many pictures. I am dedicated to showing my customers every detail. I want you to know exactly what to expect. I do not want you to be surprised when your purchase arrives. So I strive to show you every aspect, every detail, and every flaw. I want to provide my customers with complete satisfaction and knowledge. Not only do I want to meet your expectations, I want to exceed them. So please forgive me if I go overboard! I am just trying to serve your interest! <

Due to recent personal experiences, I have decided that it is important to protect buyers by keeping their privacy. Therefore, I am making all my listings private.

Please note that I am unable to divide lots. Also I am unable to accept Best Offers on this listing. If the listing does not have Ebay's method of Best Offer, then I do not accept Best Offers.

I love my international customers, and I am happy to ship internationally. But please note that I ONLY SHIP VIA PRIORITY MAIL with INSURANCE IN A BOX. I do not ship in envelopes. Please be advised that the post office rates are a bit expensive, especially after the most recent rate increase. It is much more cost effective to purchase multiple items. I do not charge handling fees, and I pay all overage costs. Most of the time the shipping I pay to the post office is more than the buyer actually pays. PLEASE BE SURE TO EMAIL IN ADVANCE FOR A SHIPPING QUOTE before making your purchase. My goal is to make the transaction a pleasurable experience for both the buyer and seller. After all, I love my customers.

International customers, please note, that customs import duties, taxes, and charges are NOT INCLUDED IN THE PRICE OF THE ITEM OR SHIPPING CHARGES. I have no control over customs. I do not have any way of estimating the customs charges if they occur. These charges are not additional charges from me. Your country determines the costs, and whether you are charged these additional fees. All "customs" charges are the responsibility of the buyer. If you need to know the approximate customs charges in advance, please contact your country's customs office before making your purchase. The value listed on the customs declaration will indicate the "actual price that you paid", when you purchased the item from me on ebay.
