Vintage Linen Rednesday

(Please visit Sue at It's A Very Cherry World for more Rednesday fun!)


Happy Rednesday!

I'm sharing some of my mom's linens with you this week.

This small cutie was hand embroidered by someone - sadly I don't know if it was by my mother or by one of my grandmother's. I'm guessing it was probably stitched by my maternal grandmother since my mom, horror of horrors please forgive me Rednesday pals, was not a Red lover. I also found several of these fun, colorful pot holders like the one pictured above, in various color combinations. So cute!


Aren't these two darling?! I especially love the Mexican themed one, how fun it would be with vintage Fiesta ware.

  3. Both of these towels are really nice. I've never seen a Mexican blanket border like that. Love the red gingham"ish" border on the other.

    Someone did all of those stitches! Thanks for sharing your great collection at Rednesday.

  7. Wow!! Those are gorgeous! I absolutely love vintage linens. I have often wanted to start my own collection but I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stop!!
    Hope you're having a great week!

  9. I love your linens with RED! I have a few of those old tablecloths. I have one of them in a recent REDnesday on my main blog. This weeks REDnesday is on my craft blog.

    Happy Week!
