textile envy

I love old textiles. There is just something about the look and feel that makes my heart soar.

 Can you ever have too many vintage textiles?

 I think not.

    Giggle . . . and take them out every spring, wash, line dry them then fold them in a different direction and lovingly store them away till . . . next spring.

    Such a pretty line up of textiles! Over the bed, stacked on a chair, they add so much to our living space!

    Oh I couldn't agree more. The green cabinet resembles one in my bathroom.

    They are so beautiful and have a feel about them that new textiles just do not.

    Love the summer bed! Yes, I have an emotional response to old linen. I'd rather have it than, well you name it! Lovely temptations.

    It's the soft subtle colors that quietly blend in together that capture our heart.
