The Enid Blyton Society

Anyone want to own an Enid Blyton tablecloth from the 1950's?

Really nice item - and the seller is someone I've dealt with. She's a really nice friendly seller.

The only mistake I see is that the seller describes the illustrations as being by Eileen Soper - when in fact its Dorothy Wheeler.

The range of merchandising from Enid's books is amazing. Did you notice the white-faced golliwog in the border Rob?

A lovely item. Someone gave a link to one of these tablecloths before, but this one looks to be in excellent condition.

Yes! Wonder why it has a white face?!

It looks in excellent condition. Hope it goes to a good home!

Someone stop me, I do not need this for the nursery... I do not need this for the nursery...

Shall I put in a bid Fiona to remove the temptation for you?

You DO need this for the nursery, you DO need this for the nursery. It would also look great in a frame hanging up!

I'm watching it. I shouldn't be, but I am!

Listen, Fiona. Can you hear all the little characters and creatures whispering to you: "Yes, you do need us for the nursery, you do, Fiona, your baby will love us, he needs us, you know he does. Buy us, Fiona. Buyyyyyy usssssssss..."

It would look lovely on a little table with the Noddy tea set...

You realise that I haven't yet bought ANYTHING for the baby? And how demented I would look if I said "Oh yes, I started baby shopping and the first thing I got was a lovely but entirely useless table cloth (and possibly a tea-set too)"?

But then I would just direct them to this thread and point at you two and your terrible peer pressure , so maybe it would be OK in the end.

I agree it would make a great little set, but on the other hand thinking with my practical head on and years of experience at being a mother and grandmother, there are many more things that take priority with a new baby on the way.

There goes the voice of reason. Well said, Julie.

Pfft. I've got a drawer he can sleep in, that's all babies need, right?

I have been offered Dorothy Wheeler table cloths before, but they are normally quite a big bigger than this and usually the asking price is over £100. These things probably date from the late 1940s as after that Noddy rather took over on this sort of thing!
