Here is my pile of thrift store linen bits. I snag them from the miscellaneous bins and usually get them for a dime or a quarter but I have been known to pay a dollar. If the store has a nicely arranged basket with individually priced hankies that are washed and pressed--they are asking too much. I think that I will use them but only rarely do--I need to remedy that or when I die someone is going to take all my stuff down to the thrift store and they will sell it by the pound.
Pillowcases--I have more but they are in circulation on our beds.
Hankies and monogrammed linens, some newish and some old.
A couple of linen table sets that have never been used and a couple of napkin sets that have a lovely soft washed feel.
Napkins--they might be nice in a quilt?
Real Irish Linen decorative dishcloths--I need to wash them to give them the lovely soft feel. The red one would make a beautiful pillow. I don't really do throw pillows though.
More linen dishcloths--so soft.
Not a very good picture, but anything eyelet or cutwork I will snatch up. Love the textures. Also green and orange are my favorite colors ever.
More napkins and a bit of hand stitched quilt top--it is pretty ragged but might be nice in an all hand stitched doll quilt.This collection is also not on purpose. I just see nice little bits and add them to my pile and every so often flip through them and think about using them.
