WHITE WEDNESDAY # 10


Carisssime amiche, sognando già un BIANCO Natale, arrivo con immutato entusiasmo al nostro appuntamento settimanale del "Mercoledì Bianco" ospitato da Kathleen nel suo blog Feded Charm. Ed il mio delizioso alberello prim, sistemato all'ingresso accanto al telefono, sta li a rammentarmelo con la discrezione che si conviene ogni giorno della settimana.

My dearest blog friends, already "dreaming of a WHITE Christmas", I get with unchanged enthusiasm and a most pleasant feeling of anticipation to our so much longed for White Wednesday appointment. And my cute li'l WHITE prim Xmas tree, already proudnly standing in the hall right next to my precious vintage telephone, is there to sweetly and politely remind me, every day of the week, to get something ready for our weekly appointment.

*** Questa settimana è stato più semplice del previsto in quanto la mia amica di blog e fedelissima lettrice mi ha carinamennte inviato le foto le sue foto.

Si tratta della meravigliosa biancheria ricamata a mano ereditata da sua nonna, alcuni pezzi sono impreziositi da raffinati merletti o bordi. Io sono verde dall'invidia in quanto, come ormai saprete, adoro la biancheria antica, in particolar modo quella con le cifre. E qui c'è da rifarsi gli occhi. E' tutto semplicemente meraviglioso. Basta osservare con attenzione questi tesori e lasciar vagare la mente verso tempi ormai passati. Oggigiorno non è facile trovarne ai mercatini in quanto le persone non si disfano più di tali tesori.

Quando ho visto le foto è stato amora a prima vista. Non saprei dire cosa mi piace di più, li vorrei TUTTI. Come dicono nei paesi anglosassoni: "Sognare è gratis" quindi mi limiterò a sognare di meravigliosi letti di altri tempi

Non aggiungerò commenti stavolta, le foto parlano da sole. Godetevi questi preziose immagini

Finding something special to post has been easier than expected this week as my dear blog friend and faithful reader Eliana has sent me some pics of her precious heirloom. It's gorgeous antique hand embroidered linens, some of them with fine crochet lace hems or fringes, that have been passed down to her by her grandmother. I'm green with envy as je adore antique linens, especially monogrammed ones. And they also happen to be very difficult to find af flea markets as nowadays people no longer get rid of such treasures.
When I saw her photos it was love at first sight. couldn't tell what I love most - simply want them ALL.
Won't add any comments to the photos this time as I'll let the beauty of these precious bed linens and hand towels speak for themselves. Enjoy!
