Sunday Special Purchase

Bluebell and myself went to the antique centre on Sunday , one of our favourite haunts .

I fell hook line and sinker for these two pillow cases , both very old , i know the bottom one is hand crochet , I,m not so sure about the top pillow case , it could be manufactured lace but still very pretty , both white as driven snow .

I cannot resist pretty bedlinen . a little spray of violet perfume , I love it .

this is a close up

The lady we visit sells antique linen and lace . She did tell us her method of washing . starching and ironing .

A few weeks ago I bought a french cotton embroidered bedspread from her . It really is very special .
