Cool Beans, Moderator 22! This post is a Thank You for the help and inspiration all of you gave me in naming my new coffee shop. I didn't want to lose this thread in case I need more help in the future! To update you, the building is not complete yet and the parking lot still needs to be paved. I have been comparison shopping for all my equipment, furniture, supplies and products. I have all my legal forms, tax information, and my loan. There have been numerous unsolicited phonecalls from salespersons that I could have done without I am getting a p.o.box tomorrow since I cannot receive mail at the location yet, and would prefer to have a box anyway. After my new computer and cable are in place later this week I will post some pictures!

Urgrace - I think it would be cool if you made iced cappuccinos and all kinds of unique iced coffee drinks as your specialty. Especially in the summertime. Then the name refers to your specialty!!

I'm gonna steal this thread from Gracie momentarily because it has the perfect thread title. BTW, Gracie, do you have any updates?? We got this as a wedding gift in the mail Saturday and I simply do not know what it is. It is beautiful, made in Sweden, purchased at a local Swedish Craft store, but I'm not sure what to call it. Can anyone help me out?
(It measures roughly 3x3)

I think that it is a table cloth, maybe for a card table or in the center of a larger table. Maybe it's a wall hanging? Or maybe it's a cloth for the bread basket?

Looks like the table cloths my very very scottish gramma used to have. She had a small round 2' or 3' diameter table in her living room that this went on. Then she had a piece of glass that set over the top to protect it. Then she'd put a pretty flower arrangment or keepsake on it. I think they are tea table cloths. BTW, it is absolutely beautiful, I love the colors. You could use it for whatever you'd like, but I am fairly sure it is a tea table cloth.

I was thinking maybe it is a decorative table throw??? It would look beautiful around the holidays with a red or green tablecloth under it.

It's a tablecloth. Also called tea cloths. Look like it's about card table size.

That is a linen table cloth that can be used on a round or square side table. Without seeing and feeling the texture, I am guessing it may have been hand painted. A real heirloom.

Oh as a side note, progress is slow in the coffee business! I am praying for a middle of Feb to Mar opening, but not sure it's going to happen that soon. A lot of snags along the way and quite a few changes in my thinking, but I'm forging ahead. When I get some concrete information to give I'll be back.

I will go with tea table cloth as well. I believe they are fairly common in Europe and other countries. Very common in Australia. When my niece was visiting from Australia, I put one on the dinner table to remind her of home.

I have tons of tea cloths from my mom. She mainly used them on her bridge tables...that way non matching card tables would blend together.

Almedahls is a Swedish store known for their fine linens. I vote tablecloth as well.

I vote tablecloth as well. The ones that size from the 50's and 60's are very collectible down here.

Well, I went snooping online for you and couldn't match your gift with anything under the maker's name, but I did find these pics, which I think appears to confirm it is, as a lot of folks here said, either a tea table tablecloth or a 'table topper'--see what I mean:
This (I think the pink one) is called a 'topper'-- I think that's what you have--notice it is angled over the table surface and doesn't hang down over the edges like a tablecloth does.
And I think, depending upon the size of the table, it could be the larger yellow-edged linen, too.
