Dressy New Life for Old Linens

Welcome to My Place to Yours! If you've been kind enough to visit here before, you probably know that I love vintage linens.  I don't even mind when they have a few "imperfections" since it usually just means they've been enjoyed rather than hidden in a drawer.  But sometimes a beautiful old piece has so many holes that I end up using it solely as a pretty background in pictures.

As you know if you read my last post, my Sister was flying in from Texas to help me with this... After two days of locating all of my hidey-holes (you can see some of them HERE and HERE), hauling my "stash of stuff" to the living room, and setting up display spaces on the porch, Saturday morning arrived and it was time to move everything outside.  There was, however, no time to grab the good camera, so we'll just have to make do with cell phone pics... We used every inch of ... Keep Reading...
