One. More. Day......
Whew! Finally, today is my last day at the tax prep place (get those taxes postmarked by midnight ladies!) I worked 10-1:30 at job #1 yesterday and 2:30-9 p.m. at job #2. No breaks at either job. I think tomorrow I will come home from my school job and take a wonderful nap in what is supposed tobe 70 degree sunshine. YES! 
Mary is showing some of her favorite linens this morning and I thought Iwould share a few of mine. I so admire the women who took the time to make such beautiful things for their homes. My mother sent me some of these. The Basket above was found at a yard sale by my sweet husband and he knew I would like it so he bought it for me:>)
These adorable kittens came from Phyllis's Flea market friday, pretty handmade lace on the bottom too!
This is one of a box of vintage linens my mom sent me recently. A beautiful spring scene surrounded by pink crochet (?) lace. So pretty. You can click on any of these for a closer look. Some have a few stains that I need to work on but sweet Adrienne gave me the advice to soak vintage linens in Biz and warm water to remove stains and it has worked really well for me in the past. Have a great day, I'm off to work:>)

Hope your last day on the extra job goes quickly and you can start your regular schedule soon. A nap tomorrow would be a good thing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your beautiful linens. I just love the vintage pieces that were lovingly stitched by gentle hands. Glad the Biz is working for you.

Congratulations on April 15. You made it.
ReplyDeleteI use Bix, too. And, sometimes I have added in a little Clorox 2.
These are all so pretty...I, too, love these and I have quite a few pieces from my aunt and mother. I never really know how to display them, tho. We live in such a dusty area, I don't like them out as they just seem to get dusty....
ReplyDeleteHow do you show yours off??
hugs, bj
Beautiful - I love embroidered linens too (wish I had the patience to do some myself). I didn't know about The Biz for getting out stains - I'll try that!
