Last night D inquired if L or I knew of a place where she could get a tablecloth, a real one that sits nicely on the table, and, depressingly, I had to reply in the negative.
If I recall correctly, at some period in time linens were created and treated much more carefully, to the extent that they were actually sturdy enough to not require much in the way of starching and could be handed down from one generation to the next. Something about the quality of tea towels in Australia struck me the same way.
But I suppose that if I'm asking if any of you know where to find such things, I should also be asking for furniture to be made out of wood and for toaster ovens to be designed for repair and not replacement.
