I love to hunt for vintage/antique linens~
Antique shops & festivals...
Thrift stores & estate sales...
Lawn sales & auctions...
I immediately put the linens into a mild soak~
Little bit of laundry detergent & oxyclean... warm water.
Sometimes I need to repeat this soak.
Most stains come out over night...
A cold water rinse and gentle squeeze~
I lay them on bath towels and roll them up!
Once they rest for a day I press them, medium heat.
Amazing how vibrant the colors are!
Some are worn... they are just as beautiful as the nearly perfect pieces!
The beautiful stitches~
Time spent...
Treasured.
So many different designs!
Most linen pieces do not have a pattern.
Unique, free hand designs!
From the heart~
I hope you have a wonderful week, Sweet Friends!
Thank you for stopping by~
