This set of six linen napkins and placemats is so beautiful that using them, either to pamper myself or entertain special friends, always makes me appreciative of the needleworker’s skill. They were purchased from an estate sale and were estimated to be vintage 1940.
By virtue of my friend Suzanne Sawko’s definition of “antique” as something that is older than she is, I declare these linens to be the real deal. But using Suzanne’s standard has made it harder and harder for me to find genuine antiques!
