Hello and welcome to another Show and Tell Sunday ! This week's theme is Vintage Linens (a personal favorite of mine !) Thank you Cerri for hosting this week's theme. To see the other participants, please visit Cerri's Blog at Little Pink Studio .
A Linen Press or linen holder is a wonderful way to safely store and protect your favorite linens. Isn't this green "linen keep" a beauty !
I often look for absolute treasures that need a bit of TLC. I happen to have the perfect match for this antique red embroidery thread. A few stitches here and there to replace the lost threads and it will look as good as new. This is an oldie ~ home spun linen.
I love luncheon size tablcloths with lace detail or crocheted inserts.
Matching sets are always nice ~ linen tablecloth, napkins and a bun warmer.
A nice change from florals and great for Spring decorating.
I hope you have enjoyed some of my favorite pieces. I have many beautiful linens available in My Shop . I will be having a store update on May 20, 2008.
I am participating in the Cottage Charm Blogwide Giveaway ! Please see the post below to sign-up for my giveaway. The draw is on May 31, 2008.
Thank you for visiting ~ Karen.

Your pieces are just so beautiful Karen...I love the pink embroidered piece. Just so lovely.
I think I may just spiffy up my little mats in my giveaway...see if I can find something a little sweeter.

You sure do have some lovely things. Lace is my favorite so those were the ones that got me to ohhhh and ahhh as I looked at them.
What kind of cleaner to you use? I never know the best way to clean my finds.

I just love vintage linens in all their various forms. At the flea market yesterday the sellers were all so concerned about "there are some stains" or "this one has yellow spots". But since I use a lot of them for projects, I don't usually mind a bit. Your pieces are lovely! Blessings... Polly

How nice that you're able to restore the threads on some of the older pieces. I like to "rescue" old things too. Your lacy linens are pretty to see.
Beautiful linens!! Love all of them!
