You reminded me of my grandma!  She crocheted a millefleur tablecloth that has been a treasured family heirloom. ❤️

Taken directly from French, meaning a thousand flowers. It was originally used to describe a perfume made from a combination of flowers.

Some grandmothers preferred other millifleur items as well, such as millifleur curtains or wallpaper.  However, just like with eating too much candy, too much of a good thing can be bad.
