That afternoon doesn't happen all that often, but it's great therapy when it does." I love this sentiment and feel the exact same way. I am always ready to go at the drop of a hat. Loved this post and all your gorgeous finds. I love old pillowcases and beautiful tatting. I have some old monogrammed pillowcases on my bed now. I sometimes have to soak things for several days. It doesn't seem to hurt them at all.

I found a product called "Vintage Soak" at an antique store that has restored seemingly destroyed linen tablecloths, napkins, placemats, etc. It never fails to amaze me when I pull them out after soaking for several days, rinse them, and let them dry in the sun spread out on our back porch. Such a treat. Thank you for sharing your lovely treasures.
