Pretty Vintage Linen

Got this pretty vintage linen set in a local charity shop.

The embroidered flowers are still lovely and vivid.

Goes well with this vintage floral china.

A sight to gladden my heart!
Have a wonderful weekend.

Love, Liz

Oh such pretty embroidered flowers! And in such good condition. They never seem to have vintage linens in my local charity shops, which is why I'm so grateful for the local antiques and flea market!
The china is gorgeous too!Great finds as usual Liz, have a great weekend.

Hello Liz:
Both your china and the floral linen are so very pretty and they do look exceedingly good together. Perfect for a proper Afternoon Tea!!

They DO look beautiful together, Liz.
Funnily enough, I just bought a similar embroidered tablecloth in a charity shop for a friend's birthday, she loves her vintage china too and I thought exactly as you did that they would make a delightful combination! xxx

Plain Jane said...

What a perfect match - now you need a pot of nice tea and some home made cake to decorate them!

They are just so beautiful. They look new! Love the way the doilies coordinate with your teacups - inspired shopping!

It's really beautiful. Being in such good condition you wonder if it's original owner only used it for special occasions.

Oh, so pretty! They resemble me the ones I have - also linen, with embroidered delicate flowers, and of same shape. I bought them in Belarus

Beautiful linen - I remember doing embroidery like this when I was little - chain stitch, lazy daisy, stem stitch et al, and so many people just throw these things aside now - what a shame that, in the main, youngsters are not taught to do this sort of thing now! So many hours of creative enjoyment.
