French linge de maison

Isn't this de plein air image beautiful?
I'm in love with the clay wall in the fond! Such a pretty contrast with the crisp white assortment of linens. 

I'm so very anxieux to be able to take outdoor photos without melting!
Maudit, it's hot!
Until then I'll berêver about some of these pictures I found on Pinterest. 
It's nice to dream...So very  merveilleux, to dream.

I amour old linens!
Recently I made some pillow slips from cotton linen. I've washed them several times and hung them outside to dry on the clothesline. I am amazed how soft they get. I'm a cotton girl all the way!
I prefer fabrics that breathe.

I need not ask what your favorite textile is. I'm sure you have the same passion as I when it comes to choosing. 
Ayez un beau jour

  4. Beautiful pictures! I did a science fair project in junior high comparing synthetic and organic fibres - since then I have only bought natural fabrics. :) I love cotton and silk.

  7. Oh Jill I agree... these Images are so Fresh, Clean and Inviting! I too Love Adobe Walls, we are fortunate that our Acreage is surrounded by a 5-foot Adobe and Rock Wall around it that is almost 100 years old... it is a Feature that I Adore and sadly, have difficulty finding anyone who knows the Craft well enough to do Restoration anymore since it isn't used so much in Modern times.
