I thought for this White Wednesday I would pull out some of my linens for show. These have all been picked up at flea markets or antique malls. They are such a treasure trove for linens and I do enjoy looking for them. It is amazing to me what heirloom treasures people will sell, most not even realizing what they have.
3 piece set of doilys
baby pillowcases and regular pillowcases, all trimmed in crochet or tatting
beautiful handkerchiefs all trimmed in crochet or embrodiery
gorgeous lace and a handkerchief holder I ordered from an Ireland catalog several years ago
Head on over to Faded Charm for other great blogs participating in White Wednesday.

I had a dozen pair of hand crocheted pillow cases when I got married from my mother and a dozen sets of 7, embrodered dish towles. Silly me, I didn't save any of them.
ReplyDeleteYours are beautiful.
