Hi Lidy!<BR/>Thank you for showing us all your fabulous linens, they are so beautiful! And thank you for your washing, ironing and storing tips. Sometimes we don't know or forget how we should treat vintage items! I'm so glad you mentioned about rolling the dampened item up on the end of the ironing board, like grandma did. I haven't done that in a long time. I love using lavender spray water. It

I still remember my visit to a lace factory in Brussels. It was done all by hand. One large piece took months of work. Thank you for the tips on cleaning. I am going to try it.

I have some tatted doilies done by a great aunt that I treasure. How could anyone make something that finely done? ( I can't see the stairs sometimes :))<BR/>You always share the most exquisite things.<BR/><BR/>(())

Bonjour Lidy and thank you for visiting my blog... I was delighted to have a new visitor and one with a particularly beautiful blog!<BR/>I am passionate about vintage linens and was fortunate to inherit some beautiful heirlooms from my Belgian grandmother and mother..<BR/>There is nothing finer than sliding between crisp linen sheets..<BR/><BR/>Michele

Oh, how I love vintage lace and embroideries!!! Thank you for this post. I have some irish table linen that was handed down to me. I didn't know how to take care of it...but now I do.<BR/><BR/>My mother made some wonderful hand embroidered pillow cases. She also made a wedding bed sheet set...for herself. In our family (We are portuguese) It is custom to make embroidered and crocheted linens

Just beautiful!<BR/><BR/>When James and I got married, one of our guests had just taken a trip to italy. Their gift to us was a GORGEOUS set of linens that included a large tablecloth and 8 napkins that they found at a street market. I just love them.<BR/><BR/>Not being a girl to hide my beauties, I use them for guests all the time.<BR/><BR/>XOOXO Kim
