Lace

These aren't family heirlooms - they've been picked up over the years at yard sales or flea markets. They couldn't be more loved if they'd been in the family for generations.


Yesterday I washed them and hung them in the beautiful morning sun. It was sheer poetry to see them fluttering and dancing to the music of the breeze from their makeshift line. Diane

Beautiful Diane...... I love to smell linens that have been hung on the line to dry... I grew up with a mother who hung clothes out on the line every Monday. Then she ironed on Tuesday.

You heirloom linens and lace are fabulous. Glad you have them all.

Hugs,
Betsy

Is there anything nicer in the linen closet or drawer than line-dried linen? What a pretty picture that makes!
