Provençal Floral Tablecloths for Spring

We spent the weekend in beautiful Mobile, Alabama at the Festival of Flowers! The taste of sun and bright blooms makes us excited for Spring to make an appearance in Mount Gretna, Pennsylvania, where we live and make custom tablecloths.

Playful Provençal Stripes

Throughout the centuries, bold stripes have always had their place in Provençal textile design. That's because a stripe (linear) design is a playful way to add a layer of texture and color to your table, while maintaining classic elegance.  

At La Cigale, we love stripes! That's why we offer almost all of our acrylic-coated and cotton tablecloth collections in two designs- the "design in place" pattern and the "stripe (linear)" design. 

Are you a fan of the stripe design? Email us a photo of your striped La Cigale tablecloth on your table, and we may feature it in an upcoming blog! Email: info@lacigale-usa.com

Below are a few of our all-time favorite Provençal designs in the stripe (linear) pattern:

The Bold & the Beautiful: Provençal Florals

We just returned from a wonderful trip to Provence, and while we were there, we previewed several new floral designs for Spring! We brought back samples and are now turning to you, our customers, for input on your favorite ones!

We need your help in deciding which of the colorful floral beauties (pictured below) we should offer at La Cigale! So, we are asking that you please share your thoughts with us by leaving a comment below or at our Facebook page! Or, by emailing us at info@lacigale-usa.com.

We value your opinion and can't wait to hear what you think about these new Provençal designs!
Thanks, John & Nancy

Valentine's Table

Valentine's Day is just around the corner! Maybe you're making last-minute dinner reservations for your sweetheart. But, may we suggest an alternative? Set the scene for romance with a candle-lit table for two in your own dining room. Below are three festive tablecloths to help you set the stage for your dinner in!

1. The Chamonix Tapestry-Weave Tablecloth is an obvious choice for the holiday that's all about love. Rich red hearts and festive filigree will warm up a winter night. Add a heart-shaped box of chocolates for your sweetie, and you're set!

Adventures in Provence

We recently spent three weeks in Provence, a beautiful area in the south of France. We met up with close friends to taste wine, try local dishes, see art, and preview new Provençal Tablecloth Collections, of course. We're looking forward to sharing these beautiful collections with you!

In the meantime, enjoy some of our favorite pictures that we took on our adventure!
