Up for your consideration today is a Vtg Lot 7 Linen Lace/Embroidered/Cutwork Tea Towels! I have had these for years and am starting to part with some of my collectable linen's. First is a set of 3 green, yellow and pink linen tea towels. They measure 18 1/4" long X 13" wide, they have cutwork (I think that is what it is called) and some applique's. All are in great condition with NO rips,tears or stains. Second is a set of 2 PINK cotton tea towels, they have a white threaded print of a grapevine (I think, see pic #2). They measure 20" X 13" and are in good vintage condition with no rips, tears or stains. Next is a very pretty little tea towel (see picture # 1) It measures 16" X 11" and is a cotton (I think) material with an applicaded and embroidered flower piece on one end. It is in great condition with NO rips, tears or stains. Lastly is a very cute little tea towel, It is embroidered with a bouquet of daisy's and a butterfly. It measures 13 1/2" X 8" and has no rips, tears of stains! All need to be ironed! All are very dainty and quite nice. They would all look really nice in a Victorian style room! But would add color to any room! Dear Customer, After receiving your vintage linens you may want to freshen them with a ‘nice bath’. Here are some tips for your ‘new’ linens. Each different textile requires different care. Research via the Web via www.google.com for information regarding your particular piece. There are hundreds of tips for vintage linens. Here are mine. Enjoy! Linen tips and guidelines Linens should be washed in warm water and gentle detergent with a final cold rinse. Bleach may be used on whites to brighten. Antique linens-use very sparingly & soak. One tablespoon of bleach will sanitize a full wash load. Soaking whites for an hour in detergent & a bit of bleach will help remove stains and then give a gentle wash. Repeated washing sometimes helps lighten stubborn stains with gentle agitation. A 1/5 mix of Fibergard Javex mixed with water and dabbed with a Qtip on tiny spots sometimes helps. Oxy Clean sometimes works wonders but do not use on thin or fine linens. Be careful. Stain removers and rubbing will destroy your vintage linens. Antique fabrics such as lace should Not be washed. It will speed up deterioration. Soak, no agitation. Rust specks: A very good rust remover is Whink, only available in the USA. Embroidered and crocheted linens need extra gentle care. Launder on gentle cycle only or hand wash. Gentleness will maintain the delicate embroidery stitches. Iron by pressing or gently stretch the damp fabric for a smooth finish. Doilies; lay flat to dry. No softener. Fabric softeners are not recommended. They decrease absorbency and make the fabric limp. No starch will be needed if no fabric softener is used. Linen fragrant sprays are available in some stores to add a delicate fresh scent. Remove linens promptly from the wash, and gently shake out to help minimize wrinkles before hanging or ironing. No time to iron? Fold them and put them in a plastic bag and store in the refrigerator for a short time. Don’t forget them or mold will appear. Iron when damp to get a good crisp pressing. A dryer sets wrinkles and makes it more difficult to get them out. Gently press the damp fabric as you iron. Avoid pulling linen fabric. Crocheted Lace can be gently stretched and shaped with a dry iron. Embroidery can be ironed on the reverse and with a soft cloth on the ironing board so the embroidery does not get flattened. For delicate items use a ‘pressing’ cloth on top to prevent any burning. A linen tea towel is perfect. Do not starch if you intend to store your linens. Moths love starch! When storing linens for a long period of time occasionally refold them different ways as not to break down the fibers on the folds or roll them around a hollow cardboard cylinder. Store linens away from direct sunlight and in a high and dry location. I do combine shipping on multiple purchases (when possible) and local pick-up is always welcomed! Because of the HIGH cost of gasoline, I will be going to the Post Office only 3 times a week (it is a 30 mile round trip for me!) on MONDAY, WEDNESDAY and FRIDAY's. Once your item has arrived, please post positive feedback and I will know your item has arrived safely. Once receiving feedback, I'll post a positive for you also. I await these feedbacks so I know this transaction is complete and you are a satisfied buyer. If you are NOT satisfied PLEASE EMAIL ME FIRST BEFORE LEAVING FEEDBACK! I ALWAYS try and work with everyone to make sure you have a pleasant experience with my auctions. Please email me with any questions, or if you need more pictures and GOOD LUCK BIDDING!
