This morning I set off on my usual hunt for wonderful finds, or as some la-tee-das call "junkin." Visited my favorite Habitat and I was about to give up when the delivery truck pulled in. Decided to stay around for awhile to see what might show up. While browsing a few of the bins I found dirty linens for 25 cents a piece. You can see the pink embroidered girl linen runner; the white cut lace pillow sham; the floral pillow shams; and pretty placemats and a monogrammed napkin and a set of pillow cases.
Later on I went to another local thrift and found the sweet pink slip and the vintage white gown that you can make out in the background. The minute I got home I threw everything in some bleach and tide, fluffed them in the dryer and ironed them up. Don't you think they all look beautiful? They are now ready for my booth.Ah, I love linens and when they are freshly ironed there is nothing better.
