  1. Yes! Antique linens are so very romantic and beautiful. I have a wonderful book of ideas for vintage linens that it is gobsmackingly inspiring. One of these days, I'm sure that I'll share it...

    We have an antiques show in Weston every fall. It's a lot like this, it seems. I love the way they display their wares. The all silver booths are glorious. There's one that is just out on the balcony, next to the roaring waterfall. They always have garden furniture and have unbelievable bouquets in large garden urns. I got to hold china from the 1700s! Now, sniff, why didn't I take my camera in???????? Argh! However, the time was really focused on history lessons on china - English and Quimperware and it was a wonderful time with my mom. Oh, and one last memory to share. One of the dealers, that were downstairs, had a wooden oblong bowl full of apples that were just slightly "rotting". It FILLED the place with the most heavenly, appley smell.

    Well, I just want to say that your doughnuts and cider post and the following post with flowers and china made my heart go thumpity thump! =] I've fiddled with obedient plant flowers and they do stay in whatever direction you twizzle them. I, too, felt absolutely done with landscapes after fall (well, just one more.... =]) I love how everyone's blog is getting cozier and cozier. Well, my home is getting more put together, even though I haven't blog for an age and a day. Wishing you well.

    Love, Katy

  9. I've been hooked since the early 70's when a box lot at an auction in Chester County was found to contain dozens of embroidered napkins - for fifty cents!

  12. Hi Mary,
    I also love vintage linens. I also would like to thank you for visiting My Cozy Corner and commenting on my house post. I just love looking at your beautifully decorated home. Since I retired I have had more time to play at home and with blogging I have finished several projects that have been on my back burner for years...
    Bless you
