TIP !!!.......
I often have come across ...Hi Girl!<br /><br />TIP !!!.......<br />I often have come across my family linens and age alone with bring on stains in them like previous infant clothing that is stored. I am not sure if you have any grass that is growing with enough watering to it. But to launder linens getting them as naturally white as can be and stain free is the early wet grass and laying your fresh washed linens out on the grass spread out to create an acid like drying. It's a combination of the damp grass along with dry grasses nice and green against the linens during drying time that will whiten and brighten the toughest of stains and discoloration of aged linens no matter how old they are.<br /><br />My French side of the family did this regularly, and noting works better.<br /><br />As for the whole I never mind old linens and there wear, if to bad I then cut them up and sew them to other treasured pieces, or leave the tattered wear and sew them into a holiday stocking, the wear is divinely authentic.<br />My grandmother steamed never pressed the linen leaving the grain to stand up and the texture is not flattened. The beauty in the mild press is timeless.<br />You are the queen of linens, I have lately been on the hunt for more linens, some of what you inspire when I make a visit to you :)<br /><br />See you soon and all your beauty.<br /><br />PS. You can google whitening your linens on grass, you will come up with new and historical research.<br />Xx<br />DoreBurlap Luxehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16134718817693134037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184510138812887851.post-80998060903191324492014-07-20T20:22:57.246-06:002014-07-20T20:22:57.246-06:00My mom would spend what seemed like hours at the i...My mom would spend what seemed like hours at the ironing board in the living room while we played.
