They are such keepsakes. Your cross-stitch finds are fabulous, and don't you just want to find out the history of such painstaking work? Oh, and why did the one woman (sexist statement, but I believe it's justified) make a slight (humph, to my untrained eye!) mistake...could it be she was releasing the evil spirits, as the Navajo do with their weaving?? Oh, maybe not...just a bad day, and a wish to GET IT DONE and get some sleep!<br /><br />As for the Teacup and the Lamp, I like that #3 is shaped the same (unusual!) and the colors match, but I really like #1...the dark green seems to be a strong match, and the gold pops. But it's YOUR house LOL!! Thanks for sharing it all with us.<br /><br />hugs,<br />ElizabethElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14584744403425323128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072219918314541508.post-90048624476935125982010-08-18T11:09:03.840-04:002010-08-18T11:09:03.840-04:00I adore old linens....and I've said the same t...I adore old linens....and I've said the same thing as your mother many times, "Why would anyone give these up??" <br /><br />I can't stop myself from collecting them!<br />I love the look of your lamp, books and teacup vignette on the side table!

Between us, we have lots of mismatched sets and that is OK with me. Mom always says when they're gone, they're gone, so we snatch them up every chance we get. Thanks you for the wine tip.
