Vintage Linen Place Mat

"This is a typical linen/cotton placemat mat with embroidery embellishments It shows a woman working away at her spinning wheel and sprigs of shamrock complete the look. It brings the well known Irish song to mind - "The Spinning Wheel". Here's the first verse and chorus: Mellow the moonlight to shine is beginning Close by the window young Eileen is spinning Bent o"er the fire her blind grandmother sitting Crooning and moaning and drowsily knitting. Merrily cheerily noiselessly whirring Spins the wheel , rings the wheel while the foot"s stirring Sprightly and lightly and merrily ringing Sounds the sweet voice of the young maiden singing."
