I usually only collect white vintage linens for my little walnut Art Deco cupboard but I couldn't resist the couple of embroidered pieces I found at the Animal Welfare shop
All the time and effort that has went into these pretty linens. It's a bit sad the huge number that end up at op-shops, and worse still the number that would be thrown in the bin. Love the cupboard too, all that storage. x
I love old linens, I usually go for the all white ones too but sometimes you run across those embroidered pieces that are just too beautiful to pass up!
I think pretty much all embroidered linen deserves a home! when you think of all the woman-hours that went into making them I just want to build each one their own little shrine ...!
I've got a few embroidered linens, they're hard to resist!! I've just popped one over a jar and tied it there to cover the ugly lid, it's looking pretty sweet.

ReplyDeleteMeg, they are lovely new finds. Their walnut home is wonderful. I'd like to see a picture of it open. x
