The first was a small vintage embroidered tablecloth. The colours are still lovely and vibrant.
Very pretty florals.
The second is larger and the colours are more muted and
faded, but still in wonderful condition.
That's all I've found in the last two weeks!!!!! Saw a Royal Vale tea set in a charity shop -
nice, but nothing out of the ordinary - priced at £30, could hardly believe my
eyes, especially as nothing else in the entire shop was priced at more than £5! In another charity shop I saw a tiny little
plastic basket with unmatched pieces of china - 75p each, but there was no room
on the shelf to take them out and have a look at them - so I'm guessing it
won't be long until they are all chipped because people are having to dig to
the bottom of the tub to see what's there!
Grrrrr .....!
Enough moans - I'll just enjoy my lovely linen.
Love, Liz

These are so pretty! Great find!
Sadly, the charity shops here have become so expensive that I hardly ever bother looking in them anymore :( M x
How lovely hand embroidery is, I like to think of the person sitting in a soft comfortable chair creating a stunning table cloth that would decorate their home.
You really can't beat hand embroidery, and what a find to have the colours still so vibrant.
I too don't spend too much time in charity shops these days as they have caught onto the vintage trending and up their prices, but on the other hand it is all going to charity! Dilemma!!!!
They are lovely, I saw a beautiful Poole tea set on Monday but it had several chips in it a and at £25 out of my price range anyway! :) x
So pretty. D you use the linen you find? I have really cut down buying housewares in France but I love looking for French-made pottery and ceramics. :)
Wonderful finds Liz, thank you for sharing them with us :o)
Have a great weekend!

Lovely embroidered linens, what pretty work. I thought of you today, I took some photos at the flea market and there was more vintage china than you could shake a stick at! xxxx
Your table linens look so pretty! I love finding pieces like this, but must stop looking now as I have a tiny linen cupboard already full. Wendy :)
Lovely embroidered cloths!!
How beautiful, my charity shop finds have also been thin on the ground at the moment. I am hoping people will be spring cleaning this weekend and more will be about xox Penny
Oh yes! Gorgeous! I'd go back and check the contents of the bucket -and lay them out on the floor!
I love old embroidered linen, you can still find a it cheaply, these are lovely!
