I just love vintage linens, don't you? I have quite a collection that I have gathered over the years. Most of them came from yard & garage sales for next to nothing, and my Mom also gave me some really pretty ones, too. I thought I would share a few of them with you today. Isn't the runner above gorgeous? I just love it! Here is a closer look at some of the detail. The trim around the edges looks like tatting. I really love this pretty tablecloth, featuring my favorite flower, violets! Not all of my linens are in perfect condition. Some of them might have a spot here or there that I could never get out, or a little tear here or there. I still love them anyway, and figure that I can always hide their flaws with a vase or something!
Check out the pretty trim on this peach bark cloth runner! And the sweet sunbonnet Sue! And I do love my vintage hankies. Can you tell that I like blue & white? I especially love vintage embroidered pillowcases. You just don't see this kind of workmanship anymore! This one has some really pretty crocheted trim on the edges. I really love using them, rather than just keeping them packed away in a drawer! The last piece is a tablecloth from Germany, and is in near perfect condition. I didn't show you more of it because it was really wrinkly, and I was all ironed out!
That's it for today! Hope you have a great week!

Beautiful pieces. I should share some of mine too. The workmanship is so gorgeous. I am so glad that you are appreciating all that hard work.
Hi Donna,
You better believe I love vintage linens, especially linens with monograms.....I just have to have them.
I'm so glad you visited my blog today and left a nice message. Now I know about you and will be following you.
I like your blog very much and we have lots in common.

These are so pretty! I passed on some vintage napkins at a yard sale this weekend- your pictures are making me regret that decision! Guess I'll have to keep an eye out next time!
