Christmas in August

All of our children were here in August, when our son returned home from a mission 

for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Brazil. He was there for two years, so 

when he returned part of our festivities was a Christmas in August Celebration.  

Everyone brought small gifts for each other, but Daughter*1 brought me some gorgeous 

linens and crochets from the flohmarkt  in Frankfort, Germany!

 She knows just what I love and I do love it all!!!

This is an oval table cloth or runner that is so amazing.

I received three of each of these, and they are very pretty.

I don't think I have seen a doily quite like this before. I think it is beautiful. 

This doily is made from a silky, shiny thread.

I love the details on this runner. The center design is lovely. . .

Look at these gorgeous old buttons on this piece.... I ADORE this piece...

It's a European pillow sham. I do not have any European sized pillows, but I can sure get some!

This sham has need of repair, but I am looking forward to fixing it up.

It will be perfect in our off white bedroom. I am making a few changes in our 

master bedroom, but it it will remain mostly off white.

All of these pieces need to be soaked and oxycleaned! But they will be 

so pretty when washed and ironed. 

I don't like ironing clothing, but beautiful linens are another thing!

These "lacies" are so pretty and it will be so fun to use them on 

pillows, a curtain and a duvet cover. 

Thank you, Gigi, for the gorgeous doilies, the runners, and the European pillow sham.... 

But thank you most for your love and friendship and thoughtfulness in finding me such beauties!!! Hugs to you and your family, Sweet Girl. 

I want to make you something with some of these amazing pieces, too!

Hope you all enjoyed my gifts, I am really loving them.

Hearts to you all,

Have a great weekend!
