Description

The listing, 30++ Vintage linens crochet doilies hankies tablecloths has ended.

Well, I just can't hold onto everything, can I? Our Mom passed away recently and there's just SO much of my grandmother's and great grandmothers that she held onto. My great grandmother was born in 1888 and my grandmother was born in 1908. Most of these things were made by them during their and my Mother, who was born in 1927, when she was a child.

These are VERY old and do have some pulls or storage stains but VERY VERY FEW. MOST are in beautiful vintage condition.

Here is a list of the items most of which are lovely vintage cream or ecru color :)

1 Autumn Leaves hankie
Several Doilies of different shapes & sizes
1 Crocheted & linen table scarf
2 Crocheted collar w/ pearl closure
1 Linen & crocheted 42" round table cloth (this does have a small hole and what looks like an ink stain as pictured. Still lots of use in it using a doily or hankie to cover it like I photographed in pictures #2 thru #7.
4 crocheted placemats (one is unfolded and the other 3 are folded next to it in pic #11
4 rose appliques
1 48" long stip of fringe that you can use to trim a pillow.
1 45" crocheted rectangular table runner
1 Large round collar that I used as a doily as seen in pic. #10 w/ the teapot in the middle and pic. #18 w/o the teapot. I also put a lamp in the middle on another table :)

This is the just one of MANY of my VINTAGE LINEN AUCTIONS. I have 100's of pieces to offer in the future so tell your friends who might collect these items :) Give them as gifts, make your own craft projects (pillows,bears,purses, out of them, etc.

*****HINT**** People in nursing or assisted living facilities **LOVE** to get these as gifts. They bring back such sweet memories for them :) :)

You get everything in the photo EXCEPT the "PROPS" (Framed pictures,basket, pink spread,pearls,ceramic jewelry hanger) If you have a question feel free to ask.

Iwas going to bid on jewelry for my mom but think I will save my credits and bid on your things later. She uses a lot of older items like these. don't know what they are called as thats not my thing but they are nice

That's sounds awfully nice of you :) Yes, "boomers" and older can really relate to these beauties :) It gives them an emotional connection to their fondest memories of much simpler and sweeter times in their lives. I KNOW that it does for me :) I reflect back to days when I'd walk in the living room and see my Mom sitting in her fav. chair creating some masterpieces like these and I just KNEW that all was right in MY world :) THAT'S why I suggest that young people today BUY these and give them as GIFTS to their family and loved ones in assisted living and senior communities :) My Mom had Alzheimer's and in the beginning stages ANYTHING connected to those times gave her MUCH comfort and lessened her fear of the "unknown" that was happening within her. I can't imagine and PRAY that **I nor my siblings** ever have to experience ourselves BUT............who knows :/

These are beautiful. My first impression is that they deserve display on a keepsake quilt. Fanned and watching!
