Some of the linens

Not sure how I will post all of the pieces I no longer want, may have to separate.  Maybe the unbleached pieces in one sale and the named or colors in another.  Most are from purchases in the last two years but I still want to check for creases.  The Belfast in Tumbleweed is a gorgeous greenish taupe, matches 3022, but there is a slight dye fade on the fold line on one side.  This stuff wrinkles like crazy.  So I want to check them first but the prices will reflect any issues, and low to begin with anyway.  Except for the Linens by Design!  There will be a few larger pieces of unbleached for big samplers.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Not sure if the sale will be tomorrow (Sunday) because there is too much to do first but I will start listing the items so you can browse before the sale and will let you know when that happens.  Also considering putting them all in grab bags, so much easier!!

So sorry to read about your sister. Crazy stuff.
Do what is easiest for you is my advice. And I would not worry about creases. There are ways to get them out if you are patient.

Have had some trouble with internet so couldn't reply.
What a story about Carole! She had an angel on her shoulder for sure!
Lucky she did the envelop with the money you gave her for the dentist away.
Wish this will never happen again to her!
Have a peaceful weekend Marly and with me the Sjogren is much less than it was before.
Greetings,Truus from Holland

Good news about the $$ you gave to Carole but overall it still sucks.
I may be a wool whore, but me thinks you are a linen whore 🤣🤣🤣

Creases?? Yikes...99% of the time, I love your posts to pieces...but 1% of the time they make me paranoid...I thought I was an over-achiever for having my linen stash in bags and somewhat labeled and all in one (ok...two) place(s). Now I am gonna have nightmares about creases LOL. Love that tin roof color... And there’s no shame in being a linen whore. ;-). From one w*%#@ to another..... Robin

Looking forward to the sale. I always am looking for larger pieces of linen.
Hope things are slowing down and the spring weather will bring good health. I can't wait for this cold to be GONE.

My mother was a seamstress and taught me a trick especially for linen and wool. She would keep a measuring cup of distilled water with about 1 teaspoon of white vinegar in it. She always used one of Dad's old white hankies. Dip it in the water and wring it out real well. Of course you are ironing from the back over soft cloth so the floss does not compact. Lay the hankie across the wrinkle and give it a press. This has always worked for me & makes quick work of a frustrating task.
