Is there any time that's better than any other for selling tablecloths?

[Margo Giroux]

I have some tablecloths which I will be selling soon, but I just wondered if anyone has words of wisdom for the best time of year to sell them?  Thanks, Margo

Hi Margo,

I'm not sure there is a "best time" to sell vintage tablecloths, but I can say that I have an easier time selling them when their themes and colorways align with the changing seasons. I sell holiday themed tablecloths mostly in the 6-8 weeks before Christmas, pastel solids and florals do best in springtime and those with browns, oranges and golds seem to sell only in late summer approaching fall. The really bright, primary florals, fruits and patterns go out of my booth year round. Good luck!
