LINENS AND THINGS THE GARDEN

HELLO

LINENS
Today I was given a large bag of old linens.  They belong  to my friend Carol.     The bag was given to me by

 

family members who weren’t interested in it.  Carol had wanted me to have some pieces but now I have the whole bag.  Some of the linens were made by her mother and others by Carol.  They have been stored for

over 40 years so will need a soaking in fabreze.        There is an old green blanket in the bag , it is woven with a

fine thread and wool.  It’s a small blanket and I wonder if it was carol’s when she was a baby. 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

 

 

 

 

I have two friends, Debbie and Susan whom I will consult with about cleaning them.  There are many stains, from years of being out of use.  I used a lot of my family’s cherished linens and dishes.  Why put things away when you can enjoy them

everyday.                                                                                    

                                

 I am hoping to make pillows and things like that out of some of them.  One piece is big enough for a baby blanket  so I may make that for my granddaughter Lillie who is to arrive sometime in October.  Each Piece will be a treasure for a member of my family.                                                                                                                                                                                                              

THE GARDEN,

The garden is winding down, but I am still busy canning and freezing.  I bought some beets yesterday and plan to can pickled beets the end of the week.  I am still doing tomato sauce.

GOOD DAY TO YOU
