WHITE WEDNESDAY takes us to the land of French monogrammed linens this time. I have an addiction to these works of art and have a nice collection going (sorry not for sale--mine all mine). I am especially fond of the sheet that bears the monogram S and R, as those are the initials of Mr. Sweet Pea and I. Have you ever felt the weight and texture of an antique linen or hemp sheet? There's nothing like it ladies. And the monograms? Don't get me started...
In addition to my antique linen collection I also have an affinity for anything made from old linens, anything with a ruffle and anything made from high quality linen fabric. Hence the pillow collection featuring linen pillows from Carolyn Westbrook Home (used to carry these in my shop), a pillow made from vintage nightgowns that says Home Sweet Home, a pillow I made from an old linen corset bag, and my beloved ruffled shower curtain from none other than ANTHROPOLOGIE. Enjoy...

Hi Shelley! Soul Sisters for Sure! My white Anthro ruffled shower curtain is a little different but fabulous too! Love your hemp and linen sheets...the ones I have almost all have red cross stitched initials....your monograms are wonderfully elegant! Thanks for sharing your collection!
Take care, Laura
Oh girl, this is gorgeous! No wonder you are SO greedy with your goodies...I wouldn't let them go either!!!

My initials are S & R ! May I come live with you? I won't take up much room , just a bed made up in these gorgeous linens will do! I love the ruffled Anthro curtain , too. Sue
Your linens are just gorgeous! The monograms really make them look regal!~Patti
Hello
I have spent way too much time looking at those linens...I have to move on but those are wonderful. I bought some when I was in Paris a couple of years ago but the monograms are not as nice as those. But you are right about the weight of European linens they have a wonderful hand to them. I also love that home sweet home pillow...that is made out of a nightgown? Did you make it?
Thanks for sharing...it takes abit to get me going but you did it.
Blessings

Is it just Southern girls or all women that love monograms?
Men gotta pee on trees and women have to put their initials on everything. I love them all and btw, I collect them too. I don't have as many as you...YET!

Love that Home Sweet Home pillow. And I have a white ruffle shower curtain too. I wanted the one from Anthropologie so badly but it was more than I could spend. I finally found one on ebay and it's ruffled from top to bottom.
Blessings... POlly
