Does anyone know where to buy these in person (ie Joannes or something)? Crochet, doily, teacloth, embroidered, etc but not vintage and not costing more than $10-$15 a piece. This etsy seller is in China and I can't wait weeks for these items.
I am looking for some side table toppers or dresser scarf-like items. I also need a small tablecloth for a rectangular pub table (without sewing one myself) like this type of table.
 
I've had the best luck at vintage sellers. Sorry don't know any new stock sellers with any kind of variety.
 
I bought a bunch on Amazon many moons ago, and I have seen them at the craft stores like Michael's. They were smaller, though.
I also have had the best luck with vintage sellers on Ebay and Etsy, and a few of the vintage shops near me carry a decent stock, although they can be a little pricier. Email me with some sizes and price ranges and I can let you know what I can find out there.
 
There are a heap of them on eBay I was just trying to not pay the shipping. I may go up to the local antique mall and have a look..

Search on vintage linen lots - you get more for your money. Just check the descriptions carefully to make sure they are not stained or pinholed. If they say 'cutter', don't go for them.
