linen lovers unite!
let's talk about our love of textiles.
i love linen clothing and sheets.11% gross to retirement
10% takehome to tithe and offerings
emergency fund maintained at 3000(works for me)
credit card debt 7500
mortgage free
freedom accounts/sinking funds that ebb and flow
then live on the rest!
i am trying something new. LDS church advises savings or debt repayment should be the same as the tithe. 10% each.
"i create prosperity, abundance, and savings for me and my household"

Well...let's see.. I have 2 trunks, 1 closet, and various other spots filled with 50's tablecloths, cross stitched tea towels, hand towels, tatted hankies, embroidered tablecloths-towels-hankies-pillowcases-doilies. When I'm out & even tho I have too much, I can't stop buying ~a quarter here or there. It's hard for me to believe someone would sell their Grandma's hankies that she has embroidered with her own hands. Amazes me...

I don't have any fancy "linens" but I do have a fabric stash I could open a store with, and a good portion of it is linen.

ok, i'm not such a nut. after all. i have an an armoire full of real linen sheets.
i was looking to pick up another dozen, but stopped my self, inventoried what i had, and immediately stopped that hunt. I have 40 irish linen handkerchiefs, all bought on ebay, enough for 5 clean hankies per day per week.

I love hand embroidered pillowcases -- the ones with the Southern belle, bluebirds, butterflies, etc. Even better when they're trimmed with crocheted lace trim or embellished with cutwork! I've been meaning to get a pair of the "His" and "Hers," or "Mr." and "Mrs." pillowcases for my shabby chic master bedroom.
