Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! Anyone who knows me would agree that I am a"girl-y" girl, so I am a pushover for Vintage linens which provide the perfect combination of soft cotton, romantic lace and embroidered flowers...sigh! I literally wore out my favorite time worn pair-- so much so, that one ripped from my pillow when I was making the bed! While I used to spot these lovelies in abundance at estate sales, lately they have been harder to come by and today I was on a mission!
After shopping the sale I attend weekly and coming away empty handed, I decided to try one I usually pass over due to higher prices. When I saw a sign posted that read, "Linens will be priced at register," I was prepared to walk away empty handed. I mean honestly, what does that mean?! Am I at the mercy of how long the line is or how frazzled the employee is? It seems simple enough to post a sign listing the prices rather than haggle with each prospective buyer but like I said, I was prepared to walk away if the prices were too high. So I stood in line, smiled sweetly and requested the price for my four hankies and pair of pillowcases, which were gorgeous and in excellent condition by the way. I was pleasantly surprised when I heard, "That will be $2.50." Yes! Music to my ears! In addition to the beautiful linens I purchased, I adopted a new attitude toward the estate sale company I had previously avoided. Lesson learned and next week I will add them to my list!
A closer look--I love the soft crocheted edging! Are you fond of Vintage linens? I would love to hear about your latest find!

ReplyDeleteThese remind me of my Grandmother Vandever. We always slept on her embroidered pillowcases. I can see her sweet smile in these treasures.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite things about Vintage treasures is the memories they trigger :)
DeleteVintage linens are my not so secret addiction as well. I think I may have a pair with the same or similar pattern. But they don't have the crocheted edge as yours do! What a nice find and the price was right!
