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.
