....I can't believe I left you hanging!!!!
While cleaning up the dining room, I realized I never posted photos of my new embroidered linens stash. After looking it all over a few times, I can't believe all the time the women who made them must have put into each piece.
The photos aren't great but here it all is.

These are my favorites. Would this be crewel? It looks machine made but it too was probably done meticulously by hand. There are at least 6 of them with a different floral motif.
Crocheted and tatted pieces, both finished items in and of themselves and trims to be added to other items.
Another of my favorites is this wool blanket with fabric trim. The former owner said it was on her grandmother's bed. It matches my room perfectly, so it is going on the back of dh's chair.
It has also given me an idea o what to do with my collection of old wool blankets.

These are lovely pieces, we can often see things like that here in England but often they are really expensive, I have a few I have collected over the years. I had some dresses like that for my daughter when she was a toddler, She looked so sweet in them, but I must have passed them on long ago as she is now 25!
By the way what do you mean by a hutch, in England this is something we keep rabbits in but I'm sure you mean something much nicer!!!
OMG, you went to vintage linens heaven!
