Vintage Linens -- Hand Made Treasures |
|
Vintage linens are always great finds. They’re inexpensive when
compared to new and are ever so versatile for both indoor and outdoor
entertaining. My friend Marilyn Dunphy, also known locally in Toronto
as “The Linen Lady” collects and sells vintage linens for a living.
And she has come up with some wonderful ideas to get the most out
of a tag sale or flea market treasure.
If you shop around like I do, you share that rush that occurs when
you’ve stumbled across something you just know that no one else
has. Take a look at these tablespoon wraps. They are of the same
type that have long been used to wrap fine silver, but these were
sewn by hand. The fine embroidery on the overleaf describes what
is stored inside. These are definitely worth collecting; you don’t
see fine craftsmanship like this anymore.
