Linen Love

Isn't it strange how sometimes you live in a place for years and yet never really venture in to some of the places right on your doorstep? There is a little shop in the town that I live that sells nick-nacs and brick-a-brack and well just about anything you can imagine. I've often looked in the windows but somehow never walked in. Well I took those steps the other day and look what I found.A box of vintage linen handkerchiefs. They are a bit tired and in need of a clean but they were really cheap so I decided that they just had to come home with me.Not sure what I'll do with them yet, maybe I'll just clean them up, maybe I'll have a play and dye some, maybe they'll just chopped up and incorporated in to projects down the line somewhere. Any suggestions?
