I bought everything I could afford (which wasn't much at the time!). I even bought some embroidery books (in French!) and taught myself how to hand embroider.<br /><br />I'm so sorry to see what the cold weather did to your beautiful gardens. If anyone can make them lovely again, it's you!<br /><br />A bientôt!<br />LinseyBravehearted Beauty {formerly LLH Designs}https://www.blogger.com/profile/04065147598634454504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330340885438404380.post-69330737539635707212012-03-26T15:33:54.549-07:002012-03-26T15:33:54.549-07:00I'm sorry to see what happen to your lovely ga...I'm sorry to see what happen to your lovely garden. You have a nice collection of antique linen. I was lucky to buy Antique French linen in France in the 1990's at great prices. I built up a large collection then. It seams that the last time I was in France all of the linen was very costly. I attend a monthly estate sale here in Mobile, Alabama. All linens are just one dollar. I have built up my collection of 19th century French table cloths and napkins that I don't look at them anymore at this sale. I only buy linen towels as they seam to be rarer.andrew1860https://www.blogger.com/profile/09302166776668727094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330340885438404380.post-43344695341257961862012-03-17T10:53:22.345-07:002012-03-17T10:53:22.345-07:00Oh my goodness, what a delightful sight to see you...Oh my goodness, what a delightful sight to see your exquisite linens. Absolutely breathtaking and gorgeous. You have an amazing collection and you are so knowledgeable. I look forward to part II.<br />It sounds like you had a nasty fall so be sure to take care of yourself. Oskar looks in fine repair so you need to pamper yourself like you did Oskar...but, definitely not the cage!!!<br />I am sorry to see the damage your garden suffered during the extremely harsh winter. I hope you will see signs of life as the warm weather progresses. As cruel as Mother Nature can be, she often works miracles too.<br />Don't worry about blogging. We will all be here and look forward to hearing from you when you are feeling better.<br />Take care xxBlooming Rose Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06927029523022093567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330340885438404380.post-19229614491408621942012-03-14T12:33:43.109-07:002012-03-14T12:33:43.109-07:00The damage to your garden must be heartbreaking. ...The damage to your garden must be heartbreaking. I had a similar injury ice-skating and couldn't sit for months - it must be very painful and frustrating, especially when your garden needs attention.. The collection and images of your linens had me dreaming........... I can picture them in my house here as well as in My French Folly. Looking forward to visiting you this year.<br />Take care.<br />Liebe GrüßeElizabeth at Eiffel Tellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11054977148823539576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330340885438404380.post-50411173553196519422012-03-14T09:39:08.483-07:002012-03-14T09:39:08.483-07:00Oh my, what a fabulous collection of linens.

But the poor shrubs and trees. Europe and Texas so devastated by both ends of the spectrum. So sad for all of you. I love nothing more than the soft various greens and canopies of trees. May they have speedy recoveries where possible.<br />Your linens are always phenomenal! <br />Blessings to Oscar and your 'family' for a Spring of renewal...<br />xo, ChrisChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15539604374228748842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330340885438404380.post-46418733357161995522012-03-11T20:00:24.650-07:002012-03-11T20:00:24.650-07:00Beautiful!!

Take care of yourself. <br />Several years ago we had a hard winter and lost a number of shrubs, however, some came back and we've learned to not pull them out until well into spring when it's very evident that nothing is growing. Maybe you'll be able to salvage a few of yours.Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330340885438404380.post-78984709272696655512012-03-11T15:49:36.791-07:002012-03-11T15:49:36.791-07:00Goodness, I thought I had a lot of old linens &...Goodness, I thought I had a lot of old linens & fabrics, but absolutely nothing compared to your lovely collection. And, Trish. Isn't she just fabulous? I am so delighted to see these treasures of yours, Karin. Maybe a shop in the future? Now about the fall, thank goodness you're going to be OK. As you know, Texas has had a drought of biblical proportions in 2011...our land & forest have suffered mightily. One of our parks in Houston lost millions of tress. Yes, millions. I've never been able to see through the trees onto the golf course, but now I can because so many old pines and oaks perished. Mother Nature can be very cruel sometimes.Splenderosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06421992667097947469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330340885438404380.post-25045053726709990952012-03-11T14:38:43.268-07:002012-03-11T14:38:43.268-07:00Dear Karin, This is such a lovely post...so inter...Dear Karin, This is such a lovely post...so interesting and so many beautiful photographs. I am so sorry about your fall. You also didn't need to have your garden suffer so through the terrible cold. I know how you feel.
