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.

Beautiful grey patina

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?
