Has Anyone Ordered from Mrs Alice?

I want to (finally) get a great Thanksgiving / fall tablecloth and this site has them in a size large enough for my table. Having trouble deciding between these three:

I would use my Friendly Village dishes and a mix of clear and green glass. If I got the green and white toile I could use it in other seasons as well. But i love the brown and the brown/green more. What about getting napkins in one pattern and tablecloth in another?

The size I need is the largest and it’s really too expensive to get two, even if I didn’t mind having two so similar.

I have this square tablecloth from WS that I use on the diagonal in the center of the table and could probably layer it over either for another look.

Before I order anything just wanted to check here if anyone had experience with the vendor.

In other news, I was looking at the Mudpie site and found these 8” dessert plates:

And ordered 14 – enough for a Christmas tea. And the runner for my sideboard

I have not ordered from Mrs.Alice but from everything I have seen/heard, it is a very reputable retailer. I used to follow her on Instagram but have started editing the content I consume so I don't want for everything!!

ETA - Love the green & brown toile

My only concern would be timely shipping. I've experienced delays that meant the product would arrive after the event for which I wanted to use it even though they said it would arrive in time. If you have a back-up plan, then take a chance, but if your heart is set on using the tablecloth this Thanksgiving, I would try to find something local.

We’ll be in Florida this year so I have no time constraints. In fact I was thinking of waiting until after Thanksgiving to see if it goes on sale. I have a small dinner next week but don’t need it for that.

The green and brown is definitely my favorite after I did a mock up with the dishes!

Yes it is cozy and woodland-y 🥰 The XL length is actually more than I would need but the L is not enough. My plan is to get the XL and take it to the seamstress and have the excess length made into four or five napkins, then buy small brown and white gingham check napkins to fill in.

Love those Christmas dessert plates.

RE the extra length from the brown and green toile tablecloth, perhaps instead of having it made into napkins, you could use it to edge other purchased napkins?

There will be enough width for luncheon sized napkins (12”) and it would have to be trimmed anyway to avoid having a lot of fabric drooping over the legs of those sitting at the ends of the table. I’ve also kind of gotten away from using two fabrics together which I used to do a LOT— esp on upholstery, having cushions piped in a complementary fabric. I guess I got tired of it 🤷‍♀️ if that makes any sense.

I haven’t ordered from the site but used to follow her and enjoyed seeing her OTT table decor. I really like the brown and green toile. I’m now envisioning it with both my Thanksgiving and Christmas dishes-next year!
