Was wondering if anyone knew of a place in San Francisco or the Bay Area where one could purchase brightly colored oilcloth tablecloths. Thanks!

Mon Aug 13 13:48:50 -0700 2007 2841388 11231 Glencora 1 2841562 You used to be able to buy oilcloth cut to length at Poppy Fabrics in Oakland, but they are closing and going out of business soon, so don't know about availability of anything. Mon Aug 13 13:50:58 -0700 2007 2841388 10133 wally 2 2843908 Last I checked the entire stock was 25% off. They're not going out of business. They're looking for a new location. I think their lease was up. I know they were looking at a spot on Piedmont Avenue, but I'm not sure where/when they'll find their new home. Tue Aug 14 08:40:48 -0700 2007 2841562 17723 lexdevil 3 2857627 Poppy is closing at the end of September. It's not moving to a new location. Stock is probably somewhat depleted due to the going-out-of-business sale. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4176/is_20070620/ai_n19305069 Sat Aug 18 08:56:32 -0700 2007 2843908 11369 Robert Lauriston 4 2860791 I was told about the Piedmont Ave. location when I was at Poppy in late June. It's too bad they haven't been able to find a suitable location. A real loss.

They have an amazing assortment of stuff there. Mon Aug 13 14:12:22 -0700 2007 2841388 23776 DavidT 1 2841740 try Mendel's Far Out Fabrics and Art store - 1556 Haight Street in the City... or, COQUELICOT 503 MAGNOLIA AVE LARKSPUR, CA 94939 (415) 924-0279, Mon Aug 13 14:25:48 -0700 2007 2841388 13519 Cynsa 1 2841747 I saw a stand selling them at Friday morning's farmers market in Sonoma. Here's more about what you'll find there, http://www.chowhound.com/topics/430400 And, I also saw some for sale at the Sebastopol Berry Farm on Ross Station Road in Sebastopol. Mon Aug 13 14:28:42 -0700 2007 2841388 10039 Melanie Wong 2 3934233 I think the same woman from Sebastopol Berry Farm makes them and sells at Sonoma FM as well as Napa's Tuesday morning market. I always associate oilcloth with blueberries and raspberries. She has all kinds of great stuff make out of oilcloth: tablecloths of various sizes, baby bibs, wallets, bags, placemats. Wed Aug 06 07:19:43 -0700 2008 2841747 12823 Junie D 1 2842062 I've seen them at Cole Hardware on Polk Street. Not sure about their other locations. Mon Aug 13 15:56:49 -0700 2007 2841388 28485 mchan02 1 2842130 It's not SF but the Jimtown Store in Alexander Valley (just outside of healdsburg) has several bolts ready to cut. Mon Aug 13 16:20:52 -0700 2007 2841388 15739 Earl Grey 1 2842593 I'm pretty sure I've seen them being sold at Heebee Jeebies in Petaluma. (A store that sells lots of nifty stuff, including a lot of Archie McPhee's type toys and the like). I recall a booth at the Saturday Santa Rosa Farmer's Market (Vet's Building parking lot) selling items made with that oilcloth...they might have had the tableclothes as well, or know where to purchase them. ------------------------------- http://groups.yahoo.com/groups/nbchowdown Mon Aug 13 18:55:37 -0700 2007 2841388 93480 chocolateninja 1 2842611 Oilcloth International has a store locator on their website: http://oilcloth.com/locator.php Mon Aug 13 19:03:25 -0700 2007 2841388 28006 Jennalynn 2 2842713 Britex in the City has them on the 4th floor (I think!). They carry the expensive French imported fabric and the less expensive bolts found at Oilcloth International. Mon Aug 13 19:41:24 -0700 2007 2842611 32842 sophia Markoulakis 1 2857447 Try Poppy Fabrics in Oakland for imported oilcloth with provencal designs etc. I always visit there when I come home for a visit. Sat Aug 18 07:02:56 -0700 2007 2841388 120168 Lizpat 1 2857647 Weird, but true, but the Five and Dime on Irving Street (between 7th and 9th Avenues) carries rolls of oilcloth in the back sometimes. Not a huge variety, I'm afraid. Call ahead, though, because it's been awhile since I've been and I'm not even sure they're open anymore! ~TDQ Sat Aug 18 09:08:09 -0700 2007 2841388 12005 The Dairy Queen 2 3031643 Thanks, everyone! I ended up getting a couple at Mendel's on Haight. Sat Oct 13 11:29:50 -0700 2007 2857647 46254 mrs bacon
