Cafe table for two, Paris,original art, 5" x 7" When we see red checkered tableclothes... Cafe Le Buci Paris,original art, 5" x 7" Who doesn't start thinking of French cafes? Cafe Marie Stuart Paris,original art, 5" x 7" Even if "gingham" originally comes from Indonesia, was assimilated by the Dutch and finally was produced in the mills of Manchester, England.. It has an inherently Frenchie flavor to it. Look! even Bonnard used it innumerable times in his intimate, homey paintings.. And homie is the key to this fabric's fame. Ma Maman puts a faux red checked fabric lid on all of it's confitures.
Here at the Sunday Marche on rue Montmartre, red checks line the tables of home-made food like these lentilles... Did I say that red checked fabric is called Nappe à carreaux in France? Most traditional wine restaurants will dress their tables in red checks... Do red checks connote a wine restaurant? Like this one we went to in the 7th arrondissement? Do red wine stains come out more easily or blend in on red checked table clothes? Dejeuner on a cafe terrace with out red checked clothes? Forgettaboutit! Red checks show up on a lot of cafe chairs and what's to complain about? The red patterns set off so well Parisien's stylish neutral or black clothing. Red-checkered egg cups anyone? Definitely very cheering first thing in the morning... Like red cherries and apples, red checks give you a little lift. Throw out those anti-depressents and get some new dishes I say! And cafe au lait bols to boot! At all round department store, BHV, you can find faux red checked dish towels(torchon) and bols to cheer up your kitchen! Where are the real ones when you need them? Not far behind are red polka dots to add some cheer to these rather pricy open toe shoes of Christian Lacroix. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Gugukluhayat" group.
