A few weeks ago I attended an antique linen party at the home of my friend, Claudia, who collects and sells vintage tablecloths, napkins, pillow shams and other linens, many from Europe. Claudia hand washes, mends and irons her wares, all of which are delicate and beautiful. Another friend, Lucy, was selling some frocks she crafted for little girls from embroidered tablecloths. The ladies also put on a sumptuous tea party for their guests. We enjoyed our tea on Claudia's patio amidst the abundant greenery, and admired her celadon pottery displayed on the mantel before leaving for home with our chosen treasures.
