Pinterest Inspiration

Gail mentioned being bitten by the pinterest bug in her last Farm Mail.  She's got a lot of company there and it's easy to see why.  Sooo many ideas to spur your own creativity!  Like this vintage display made from a set of  old bed springs  for your treasured linens.

If you'd like to follow Gail's pins, you can find them here.   Be warned--it can be addicting!  But the cure is easy--just be sure to take a few of those ideas and make something of your own :)  

Linens

 

Vintage linens at The Farm.

Do you have a linen collection stashed away at your house? Pillowcases made gorgeous with  lace or fancy embroidery. . . tablecloths. . . doilies. . . all made by hand with love by someone way back when.    Why is it that we keep them hidden away in  our closets and cedar chests?    Our display here at The Farm features multiple pieces, but it's okay to show off just one or a few at a time too.    Hang them on a ladder,  across a towel rack or a curtain rod;  insert a little one in a picture frame . . .   Cheryl suggests changing out our linens to match the seasons--much  more economical than buying new lamps or other home decorating accents, and then we get to enjoy them again and again.  So what's your favorite way to display your linens?
