Treasure Hunting Tip #3

Hi Everyone
Happy Wednesday

This is a treasure that speaks of
beauty and grace
It is a delicate vintage white embroidered draw string bag



Just look at all of the detail  you can sense a gentler time 




A time when women knew how to make a monogrammed bag
 probably by candle light
{most likely they made the candles too}
LOL

{Love}
the Simple Beauty

 These Damask monogrammed white napkins are popular
at dinner parties
Guests always notice the initials

Can you imagine hand embroidering every
napkin or little hand bag

Treasure Hunting Tip #3
Don't hesitate to buy a monogrammed treasure if the initials are not your own
They are works of art that stand the test of time

White Wednesday

Good Life Wednesday
and
Time Travel Thursday

    I just love antique linens and especially monogrammed ones. Yours are beautiful as is the pretty little drawstring bag.
    Happy WW!

    I adore old linens! Looking for several sheets right now so I sew them together and make a king size one! Have a great weekend!
