I think this vintage tea towel I'm using as a backdrop is pretty adorable.

Tea tableau on a blue ground with a vintage tea towel backdrop in pastels showing a young lady all dressed up for tea but the tea service has slid from the tray she carries, about to plummet to the floor. The china is white and blue with dark pink roses. There is also a pink glass rose. The tea is Evening Tea, a decaf black blend from Ahmad.

I’m STILL sorting and cleaning my lace collection; I use some for costuming projects, but I COLLECT. It started w/ 1 thing at 15; I found a wedding hanky in my Gran’s stuff. I love wedding hankies. 😊💜💜💜

A photograph of a handmade lace wedding handkerchief that belonged to my grandmother, a natural white muslin and lace hanky on a red ground.
The lace is needle lace, worked into an intricate border as large as the muslin center, which is + shaped, with the needle lace making it into a square.
Wedding handkerchiefs are meant for the bride, to daintily dab at tears. If she needs to blow her nose, that’s what her spouse’s plain hanky is for. Yes, it’s very gendered.

Came across these old cocktail napkins in my grandmother's cedar chest. Pondering how I can use them.

Collectible textiles — Embroidered vintage hankies are often still found for a dollar or two in vintage shops. These little handmade masterpieces show such care and precision. Sorting through them can be so calming.
