Branching Out

While we are having wonderful long Memorial Day weekend ,just a few days ago we were busy shooting our newest line.  Pretty floral embroidered doilies, dresser runners, table cloths and napkins specifically. Kath has had a cache of them for years that we pull from as props for our booth set ups for trade and craft shows. They are a pretty addition and soften our wood products. We sell some on occasion. A while ago she got crafty and ran up a bunch of runners out of them. We have some of those on our ETSY shopRetromanticFripperie, and sell them at our shows.

Now we've decided to really go into the linens business. The first shoot is today and Kath has been busy freshening all those beauties. We love all the work and love that went into them so many years ago. How did they do it? Most likely they had a passel of kids, a household and maybe a farm to take care of, meals to make, gardens to tend, and still they had time to stitch so many pieces to make their lives beautiful.

Well now we are so happy that we can save these works of art and share them with all of you. We never mind that they aren't perfect because that means they have been used and loved.

Our minds spin thinking of all the things that can be done with these heirlooms above and beyond their original purpose. But we are leaving that up to their new owners.


Be sure to check out our ETSY shop in a couple of weeks to see and share our new passion.
