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

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.
