Pretty Cheap

I've been trying to find some old linens I can work with on an art quilting project, but everything in our local thrift stores is too big, too new or too pricey. So I placed a minimum bid on and won a small lot of vintage linens that looked like they might work for $9.99. Let's see how I did.

There are fifteen different linens in the lot, most napkins, and they're pretty old, too -- I'd date them back to the 50's and 60's. They're all in usable condition, and some are hand-embroidered.

One printed napkin is really pretty.

So is this table topper.

I've never seen vintage waffle-fabric napkins like these three. Anyway, they'll all work great for my project, and at sixty-seven cents each you can't beat the price.
