Hi!! Welcome friends!! This auction is for an antique hand embroidered  German tablecloth and a cute machine embroidered runner. These pieces will be loved by both young and old alike.  Please note that I am not willing to divide this lot for price reductions. Any messages regarding requests to divide or to submit best offers will not be answered. Thank you so much for understanding.

First, you will receive the absolutely delightful antique hand embroidered tablecloth. This tablecloth features so many beautiful unique designs. You will find a cute snowman with his walking stick. You will find a rabbit and a Scottie dog. There is even a donkey. There are bugs and dragonflies. You will even find gnomes collecting star. I am in love with the girl hedgehog and her pretty dress. There are even some 4 leaf clovers and mushrooms for lots of luck and good fortune. And these are not just your normal mushrooms. You will have walking and talking mushrooms with this whimsical tablecloth. And I love the bug with his walking stick. He must be a wise old bug. I love the detailed hand embroidery. There are so many details to discover. This tablecloth is an antique and even has fringe. The tablecloth measures 33"by 24 1/2" with the fringe. Without the fringe, it measures 31" by 22 1/2". There is one small spot of a flaw as you can see below. I consider it to be minor due to the age of this piece. If you want a general idea of the size of the designs, let me use the red hat gnome as an example. This cute little guy with his red pointed hat measures 7 1/2" tall. You can see that this is not teeny tiny embroidery that you need a magnifying glass to see. These are large detailed heartwarming designs bursting with warm beautiful colors. This cotton tablecloth is one of a kind and is a true treasure. It is a piece that will be loved by young and old. It is a piece that will be passed from generation to generation. 

I love this style of tablecloth. These "toppers" are actually a nice 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 spring season or even all year long?

Next, you will receive a beautiful vintage machine embroidered runner. This small German print runner features a sweet little girl with her ducks. This blonde girl is so sweet in her German attire and with the red scarf over her pretty hair. There are vines and Easter eggs featured on the sides. This cute little runner is a pretty greyish beige color. The designs are machine embroidered with silk embroidery thread. There is even a beige lace trim along the edges. This lace is about 3/8" wide. The runner measures 19" by 8". This is such a lovely piece. 

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!

Please note that this item will be shipped via Priority Mail with delivery confirmation for United States customers.

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.
