What does a girl do on a Saturday night?

She lists some more treasures, of course! The dogs are asleep on the settee, the husband is pretending to watch tv, but psst, don't tell, really he is asleep in the armchair :-). My muse is still on holiday, so I might as well be a good girl and do some listings.

These are the latest ones, which you can find in my Etsy store HERE -

A PAIR of these beautiful 19th Century French linen towels - SOLD

During the summer, I came across some very interesting ephemera, a small bundle of 194os Ecuador post office papers for sending parcels. They have beautiful old stamps on the reverse, I suppose thats how the shipping costs were paid for. If the weather is good enough and gives me decent daylight, I'll photograph them tomorrow and list them. They are fascinating.

Until then, toodlepip xxx

Monogrammed antique French linen towels

A pair of fabulous large red striped linen towels, I believe end of the 19th Century. The linen is lovely thick and firm quality. Seams are of course hand stitched. Both linen towels are in fabulous condition, no discolouration. If your monogram doesn't happen to be L R, then it will be easy to remove the cross stitched monogram. I have three pairs available.

ALL SOLD. THANK YOU.

Pair of Antique French Linen Towels, monogrammed

These 19th Century linen towels are quite fabulous. They are a fairly coarse weave and in all likelihood homespun and hand loomed. I don't think they have been used much, if at all, they still have that beautiful cafe au lait colour of linen. As you can see from the last photograph, linen does get lighter. The more often you wash it, the lighter it gets.

The towels are monogrammed in red cross stitch, Y L, but if that doesn't suit you, then the monogram can be removed quite easily.

ONE LAST PAIR NOW AVAILABLE IN MY ETSY SHOP

Monogrammed Antique French Linen Towels

A pair of rather lovely antique French metis towels, monogrammed L C in red cross stitch, of course with those all important and sought after red stripes. If the monogram is not the right one for you, then it can be quite easily removed and replaced with your own. The fabric has mellowed to a beautiful soft white. Condition is excellent, no discolouration.

ALL SOLD
