Vintage Linens

Fettish, obsession - call it what you will,

I think vintage linens are the bee's knees . . .

To share some of my sheets & pillowcases with you, 

I put them on a clothesline

where I thought they'd be at home.

{PS - When I was a girl it was often by job to hang the 

clothes on the line or to take them off. I miss how 

the sunshine & fresh air made the linens smell!}

I've been collecting vintage linens for a little while now.

I'm especially fond of them if they look like they are 

from the 1950's, 60's or 70's. 

Etsy & the thrift store are great sources to buy them.

{I found the "impostors" on the bottom right of the collage 

at D.I. for $1 each. They are actually Tommy Hilfiger, 

& I love their vintage look.}

It's fun to mix & match the patterns.

But I don't buy fitted sheets because mattresses have

become much thicker since decades past.

I love to mix them with my quilts . . .

This beautiful quilt is very old & was

hand sewn by my grandmother Gracie.

What do you like to collect?
