Before Hurricane Helene passed by us back in September my guy and I went out for a drive and stopped at a Goodwill, where I found an intriguing bag of bagged antique-looking table linens. I'm always on the hunt for vintage textiles, and it looked like something that might have been donated by an pro seller who had closed out a booth, so I bought it and brought it home.
I hit the jackpot with this bag -- everything was quite vintage, in mint condition and included some pieces I'd never before seen anywhere. Everything also still had the original price tag attached as well.
This embroidered linen napkin holder (originally $10.00) was a unique piece. It will come in handy, too, as there were 30 napkins in the bag.
The napkin holder unfolded. Really interesting.
Ten of those napkins I was talking about, which will be perfect for a project I want to do.
Cobweb doily, beautifully crocheted and in unused condition. Will make a wonderful embellishment with a little beaded spider, maybe.
This gold fine lace table cover was marked $30.00, and carefully wrapped in tissue paper. It's really gorgeous.
A hand-embroidered and appliqued tablecloth with four matching napkins, with a price tag of $18.00.
If you want to see everything that was in the bag, I made a little photo album online here. Altogether there were 43 different pieces, and the original prices added up to $131.00. I paid $8.99 for the whole bag. Savings: $122.01.
