I have been very absent from Blogland, but there is good reason...
Washing, Ironing, Restoring, Sewing, Upholstering, Gilding, Pricing,
and sleepless nights

linen and lace

Oh my! You have really touched a nerve with me, a good one. J'adore antique French linens and have a real sickness in my obsession. So, you can imagine how I am drooling at your photos!
Thanks for following and so glad that I found your blog as a result! Of course I am following.
Bon weekend,

This should be so much fun for everyone. You certainly are brave to let go of so much beauty, but I admire you and am trying to do the same thing myself. I'll be thinking of you on the big weekend and can't wait to see the photos I hope you'll have time to take for us, so we can live vicariously through you.
