Vintage Linens...


I was in an antique shop along the Erie Canal & found a little flower linen.
It was crinkled up and browned... 
There was a 2nd one!!!!
(My little prayer was for just one more... just one more!)


As I searched the entire booth, under every blanket~
Between every table cloth and linen!
There were five!


With arms filled with various vintage treasures,
my heart skipped a beat over these!


After their gentle soak in mild laundry detergent & a dash of Oxy Clean
they were even more beautiful!


As I was pressing them the ideas were swirling in my mind!!
Should I draw top views of frogs on them (lily pads?)
Should I draw five different flowers with their botanical names?
Should I draw butterflies on them?
Should I pattern them?


Some of my favorite quotes & fuzzy bees kept coming to my heart!

These are on their way home to Nevada!
A dear heart who LOVES BEES will give them the love they deserve~

Hope your September has been off to a great start!
