Vintage Linens
I absolutely did not plan to have any sort of post about this. I was laundering and sunning the vintage napkins and table runners I collected in case my cousin could use them for her wedding. (Thrifted scores, all range from a quarter to a dollar a piece.) Once I got them up there, and all 45 of them *just* fit, it just looked so striking that I couldn't help but grab my camera. They are all white/neutral in color, but are so distinct because of careful embroidery and stitchery. The way they used to do things-something to admire, that's for sure. I may have taken too many photos and I am definitely posting too many. Hopefully you'll either forgive me for such a silly post or perhaps embrace in the simple beauty along with me.
I don't imagine I'll mind pressing these one bit.
My little helper opened the door for me as I brought them in. He didn't want me to spill the basket. How thoughtful.
