I wonder sometimes if it is better to use them or keep them away from light and dirt. When most things are made they are for a purpose after all. Here in the tropics the heat and strong light affect fabrics quickly, so few last long. And insects and mould damage almost everything. Enjoy your beautiful mementoes of long ago; you are luckier than you realise.MLM247https://www.blogger.com/profile/06365562372896637044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2658769959823060195.post-7726161968713108022012-09-08T18:43:20.995+12:002012-09-08T18:43:20.995+12:00Hi Shane, you found some lovely linens while in Fr...Hi Shane, you found some lovely linens while in France.

I thought you might like to know that the boutique handmade market I had a stall at was a huge success - over 4,500 people turned out for the markets and my stall attracted lots of admirers. I am teaming up with another girl to do high teas - she bakes and I'm supplying the cake stands and tea cups and other vintage lovelies. We have our first function this weekend. It's wonderful to know that everything I am using once belonged to someone and is now going to bring delight to someone else - just like your linen!Ann at eightacresofedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15524581927752695509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2658769959823060195.post-85246512243725451772012-09-06T00:04:58.951+12:002012-09-06T00:04:58.951+12:00Oh such beautiful things Shane!
