OTHER LINENS

From time to time, I am blown away by smaller linen items and will list them below for you. These will consist mainly of tablemats, doilies, traycloths and runners. Occasionally I may find a tea towel or apron that calls to me and I have to have it! I also have a tendency to grab bits and pieces of vintage and antique lace and offer them for sale. Often I have enough that you will be able to use these treasures as a shelf edging or on small linens or items of clothing. They can also be tacked to dark silk velvet and displayed to advantage in an ornate frame.
Enjoy what chance washes up on the shores of this category - I never know what I will find, but you may be sure it will be the best of the best!

00150: Set of Tablecloth and Napkin Case

 Sets such as this were common in the pre WWII period and were one of the little niceties of life which were inexpensive to have on hand, requiring only a piece of linen or the less expensive indian head cloth, a few strands of embroidery floss (which was sold at 3 for 10 cents in the 1940's) and a woman's time. Such sets protected linens and added an air of gentility to the simplest homes.
Sometimes the transfer sheet for such a set was enclosed as a free bonus in a lady's magazine, as they were then called.
This lovely set will go fast, and they are getting harder and harder to find!

Buy it as a special gift for yourself or give it to a friend or relative who loves vintage things - the edge is typical of those I've seen in pattern books from 1920's and earlier.
