Lavender and Lace...

I am guilty of being a bit of a squirrel :-)

I love to gather projects and bits of this and that

during the summer.

To keep me busy during the winter,

when the garden sleeps:-)

Well today we had a high of sixty-five

 and not a peep of the sun in sight,

So I went into a semi-hibernation,

and dug through the too big pile of linens,

I have acquired at garage sales this year...

(click photos to enlarge)

I washed and ironed the pillowcases..

not too big of a job..

maybe the sun will shine again soon?

I have a big fondness,

for simple white pillowcases with crocheted edging..

A set of four matching cases is a lucky find...

I rarely see more than pairs...

This is a pair of two,

the edging is much deeper...

I love this pretty as can be small sham...

with it's circle of daisies..

white on white embroidery is so crisp...

although...

I do enjoy the cheerfulness of colorful embroidery:-)

There is a pair of the blue,

one was camera shy :-)

But only one of the pink,

which is my favorite...

with it's so soft colors and tattered edges,

it has been used and loved.

Today I am joining ..
