The blue and white linen looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI agree there is nothing quite like sleeping in a bed made up with antique sheets.
Hope you have a lovely weekend,

Hello Karin
ReplyDeleteI want every item, not because I lack discipline, the colours, texture and patina is all very tempting.
I wish success.

Superbe Karin, les bandes indigo des lins basques que nous aimons sont magnifiques sur ces photos.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful linen, love the blue and white.
ReplyDeleteLast time when in France I managed to buy two beautiful monogrammed linen sheets - they are lovely.
Enjoy the week
