Q: I'm looking for a good (preferably green) source for table linens. Specifically, good quality, solid color tablecloths. But I'm happy to browse through any source.
Any suggestions?

Editor: Sarah, one of our favorite sources for linens is this shop:
• LinenMe
They have great styles and prices too. You can also look for solid-colored, and reasonably priced, linens at World Market. Or you could make them yourself!
Readers, any shopping tips for Sarah?

Check Flea Markets. I found a bunch of great table clothes at a Church Sale.
Etsy seems to think that LinenMe no longer exists... did she change her seller name?
eBay -- nothing greener than buying/reusing vintage.
Anthropologie, when linens are on sale.
I recently bought a table runner and a set of placemats from Etsy seller Kainkain (http://www.etsy.com/shop/Kainkain). They are completely beautiful and I love them.
Grrr, I really don't like that intermediate page y'all now link to with your "preferred vendors". Just an extra step that assumes all your readers have the fastest possible internet connection. Alas, I live in an area where my only option is satellite internet and it's slow-ish.
In addition the link on your intermediate page appears to be broken.
no solid table cloths but a great-interesting source is
Saffron Marigold

That etsy user doesn't exist anymore (LinenMe), and hasn't for a few months.
Ooh, thanks for the Saffron Marigold link, lyndafitz! That site is AWESOME!
Linoto linens are really lovely: beautifully made, environmentally friendly, splendid colors. And the customer service is outstanding.
Their site is http://www.linoto.com/Default.asp
I wrote about their napkins here: http://www.pollyannashandbook.com/Pollyannas_Handbook/blog/Entries/2010/6/6_Roughing_It.html
LinenMe's etsy shop no longer exists but all their linens are sold on http://www.linenme.com/
thanks for all your input everyone!
Check out linens on this site. I always buy my stuff from them:
