Vintage and handmade linens add charm and character to your home, make unique and treasured gifts and show a special hospitality to your guests. Little touches make a house a home. Enhance your table with a lovely runner or topper. Frame treasured collectibles with lacy doilies. Catty-corner a hanky on a little shelf. Line a tray with figural lace. Protect the child's dresser with a colorfully embroidered scarf. Linen towels say "Welcome" in the guest bath. Fancy pillowcases and dresser scarves bring warmth to the bedroom. Damask and monogrammed tablecloths, placemats and napkins show your guests you cared enough to use the very best. A gift of monogrammed towels or wedding hankie will become the heirloom of the future. We collect most of our vintage linens from Connecticut estates. Of course, we are always on the look-out for your old favorites, Madeira, Normandy, Society Silks, Marghab, monograms, handmade and figural lace and embroidery. We choose each linen for its charm; many are one-of-a-kind, handmade to suit the homemaker's specific need. The ambiance that handmade vintage linens bring to your home cannot be equaled.
