I love linens


I love linens. As a young girl, I began a collection of hand embroidered linens. These are so plentiful - nearly every thrift store and rummage sale has a pile. They hearken to a day when women produced beauty with their hands that was shared with others and had lasting value. After all, many of them are over 50 years old and they are still beautiful.

Spring is around the corner and feeling inspired I helped some old linens found a happy home, and these same linens seem to help create a happy home.

  1. You have such an artistic eye for warm and homey things as well as many other areas. You make our house a home, and for that I am grateful. Truly God has blessed me with the most perfect wife imaginable.

    Always be who you were designed to be - you never have to try to be anyone else. You're just right as you are.

  2. I love linens, too! I have recently started my own collection of old linens starting with a very old handkerchief that was made by my great-great grandmother and given to me as a wedding gift. I think one reason I like them so much is they are something very antique that are still affordable! Hope to see you guys soon!
