Vintage Linens

When I shared my curbside dresser makeover, I had a number of comments and emails from people wanting to see a little more of the vintage linen goodness inside those drawers.

Three of the pale yellow drawers are filled with old treasures.  Some hold crocheted doilies, storebought and handmade ...

... cloth napkins with crocheted edges ...

... table runners with a monogram stitched on by hand ...

... and piles of lace, crocheted, and linen table cloths and runners.

Tucked in among the vintage goodness is an envelope ...

... with a letter written by my aunt.  It explains where each piece came from, with an appropriate amount of family nonsense thrown in.  I'm so glad I've kept this letter over the years ... what a gem of family history.

My aunt is no longer with us which makes the letter {and the linens} even more of a treasure to me.
