oftly shaded colors of these delightful fabrics seem to dance in the dappled sunlight made by the plane trees of the Place des Lices. The patterns are quintessential provençal themes -- olives, sunflowers, mimosa, oleander, lavender, geraniums, bleuets, parasol pine -- that seem to have universal appeal and fit into any environment around the world. The designs are intricate and the colors are delicately shaded, reflecting the good quality of these fine cotton fabrics. These fabrics wash surprisingly well. Of course, after many washings, their vibrant colors will gradually fade into an muted hue which, hopefully, will represent years of happy memories that they have reflected on your table at home.
