She and her sister would embroider napkins, table clothes, sheets and pillow cases. Most of the bed linen are worn and long gone, but I still hold some of the table clothes and napkins.Wicho Forraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10818612712903903079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876403528262108896.post-43438515559566380882013-01-11T18:59:18.321-06:002013-01-11T18:59:18.321-06:00Oh, Nancy, yes, the napkins that came inside of it...Oh, Nancy, yes, the napkins that came inside of it were beautiful white linen!

It seems that most people aren't interested in old, which is fortunate for me because they sell at a lower price.<br /><br />Your card table cloth is just beautiful. Imagine all the time that went into stitching the wreaths and flowers. Lovely.<br /><br />I have never seen a napkin holder like yours. I love seeing items like these when the napkins inside were probably real fabric and not paper. Somehow, even just holding these linens connects me to another era when time went slower and life (at least to my mind) was gentler. Thanks for sharing them!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876403528262108896.post-2273514734464347832013-01-11T14:26:05.223-06:002013-01-11T14:26:05.223-06:00I love the handmade family items I have, but I'...I love the handmade family items I have, but I'm a sucker for picking up more at estate sales! That napkin holder is unusual - at least i've never seen one before. Your timing was perfect! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
