French Linens

Who doesn't love French linens.  While I do purchase new linen or cotton dish towels (my grandmother use to call them tea towels) I love the look and feel of antique linen... The heavier linen after it has been washed several times and looks somewhat faded.  That heavier linen just feels right to me... comfortable. I have selected some of my favorites and I love to see them stacked and bound with jute string in just the right cabinet.

This has a wonderful patina that grows richer with time and adds warmth.  This is my favorite!

I also fancy this!
How about you?  Do you love French linens and which armoire do you fancy?

  2. och dear Kris, I am so sorry about your unexpected surgery. I hope, everything is going well now and you'll soon get well.
    The french linen is really beatiful, but unfortunately I haven't any of it. The old french linen are mostly high-prized and too expensive for me to buy it. Even so I am still dreaming about it.:)
    The armoire on the second image is my favourite. It is so beautiful!
    All the best for your health and get well soon!
    Warm regards,
    Lucia

  3. French Linen - Simply sublime. I like the look of the armoire in the first image rather plain but fit for purpose. I can imagine opening the doors to wafts of French Lavender scented linen.

    Keep well.

    All the very best

  5. Dear Kris,
    ...oh I love "zwetschgen" cake very much. It is very moist and tasty, but not too sweet. Zwetschgen (it calls in German) are different from plums. I don't know wether you can find it in Amerika. Plums are really sweat, but zwetschgen are a little bit sour. In addition they are more cheaper than plums.
    It is a pity that you live so far away so I can not give you some of the "zwetschgen" cake to try it. ;o))
    Have a nice day.
    Warm regard,
    Lucia
