Flea markets can be a great place to find 'new' linens. Some of my older dish towels were getting quite ratty looking, so when we headed to one of my favorite outdoor flea markets this past weekend, I was hoping to find some replacements. It wasn't until the last row that I spotted any ~ boxes and plastic totes of vintage tablecloths, pillow cases, sheets, dishtowels, napkins, and aprons. All were beautifully pressed and folded...
The top two on the pile are linen dishtowels [most of the other towels there were a bit fancier than what I needed] and underneath are several sets of napkins. The price...50 cents for each set of napkins, can you believe that?... 
I also found a little enamelware container for my block of soap by the kitchen sink...
Hope your weekend was fun!

I could just say ditto, ditto, ditto. Don't you just love it when little treasures like beautiful linens and a great little container can be so exciting? Looks like you're a double winner today. I'm adding you as a winner of the "I Love Your Blog" award. Check back if you want to pass it on.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! I have so enjoyed following your blog and seeing your pictures. I tried making rose hip jelly for the first time this weekend and as I was working on it I was thinking about how you post pictures of your ingredients and set-up as well as finished product when you feature recipes, and how I always like to see them. And as I look at different areas of my home now, in the back of my mind I am picturing each area as if I were looking at the pictures in your blog. You have been great inspiration. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog page, it's simple and to the point, beautiful unique photos you take. Can't wait to see more.
ReplyDeleteWould you mind telling us all about the countertops pictured beneath your enamelware container? I love them. They look as if they might be wooden, but I know a previous post showed your husband's handiwork with concrete countertops. Thanks for your help! Lovely, lovely blog- so comforting, unhurried and calm.

I love old linens too and to find them pressed too, wow! The enamel tins are wonderful. I use a few as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat marvelous finds. You did very well. I really like the little enamel box for your soap.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Those are great!
ReplyDeleteI love antique handkerchiefs. A few friends think it's a little gross, but I wash them well. And they are so pretty.
