As we've lost so many of our precious and beloved shrubs
due to the ice and frost in February
and as I was also very concerned about our "Back-wall-Rose" -
I'm more than happy now!
Friday last week...
two days ago - on Thursday...
...and today, on Saturday....
What a difference a few days made!
and the perfume of this old fashion rose....

*** For sale ***
Because of my several linen posts I had, and still have, numerous inquiries.
An online shop is in my plan, but this will take some time...
So, I thought about it and decided to put some old linen for sale on the blog
during this month of May.
And like to start with
this charmingly monogrammed Linen Drap
French linen Drap - Over sheet
in a heavy quality and very pleasing off-white color tone
circa 1900-1920
Size: 70" wide by 114" long
the weight of 1,85 Kg - an evidence of good pure linen quality
- not métis - not a cotton/linen mix/blend -
with a charming and very large hand embroidered Monogram with little "lilies of the valley"
in the size of 8" high by 7,5" wide
There is also a hand embroidered row of drawn work
Price including shipping/postal cost: 145 Euros
~~ payment via PayPal ~~

A charming and attractive piece of antique country linen,
suitable as a bedspread, a "throw" on an upholstered chair or small sofa,
and certainly very pleasing to sleep under, particularly in summer....

P.S.
Thank you all for your lovely comments regarding our garden and.....
Dear Karin, Stunning black rose and lovely linens. Your photographs are beautiful. So happy you didn't lose your beautiful wall rose. Will it be blooming again when we come for a visit in the Fall? Happy Mothers Day.
ReplyDeleteGina, this rose starts flowering normally in March and flowers until late October! Normally....:) So, hopefully there will be still some roses to welcome you!
DeleteI love that monogramed linen on the chair is it still for sale?

It is so distressing when our beloved plants become victims to the weather. Your rose is stunning with evidence of lots of lovely new growth. As for the linens - I wish they were mine, but currently I'm pouring money into getting My French Folly liveable and can't turn my mind to much else.
