It’s no secret I love brightly patterned vintage linens–everything from 1940’s tablecloths to souvenir pillows and scarves. But I recently bought a stack of plain Jane linen hankies just for their wonderful edgings.

Granny squares! Shiny Brites! Red! I went crazy at this estate sale!

Luray and I have lots of “junk shopping” experience, but Saturday morning was the first time we’d ever gone to an estate sale. It was impossible to miss: it was held at the business right next door to the Sage “Hint of Spring” show. See what I bought!
