I think your post contrasts well with today's consumer society. I collect my fabric stash from used clothing bought in flea markets and I've never run across anything mended.<br />Thanks for an excellent post.<br />best, nadiaMulticoloredPieceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161913409399066123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20246519.post-44593649850408679832011-07-28T19:26:03.401-07:002011-07-28T19:26:03.401-07:00Oh yes, Kaari, so very dear.

While fabric hunting in France last year I spent ages searching through a cupboard just to find such pieces when I showed the owner my choice he tried to sell me the perfect ones and looked at me as if I were crazy when I refused his offer!Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649399622232194786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20246519.post-46198769804984613272011-07-28T06:14:20.958-07:002011-07-28T06:14:20.958-07:00I always think the about the person who took the t...I always think the about the person who took the time to make the delicate little stitches when I see them.....what did they think of when they were doing this, what kind of life did they have and what did they use the linen for....it makes me think of how hard women worked way back then...and usually by candle light too!<br />Margaret BThe French Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09116285579159003933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20246519.post-91916014615018795442011-07-28T01:50:47.822-07:002011-07-28T01:50:47.822-07:00What a lovely way to look at vintage linens and ap...What a lovely way to look at vintage linens and appreciate the repairs.
