Girlfriends came from the City today

Very special friends came for Lunch

There may be snow outside, but my greenhouse always provides flowers for the table

My lovely friend Joanne used to own an antiques shop called "Arsenic and Old Lace".  Joanne collected fine antique linens.  She not only collected them, she truly loved them.  Joanne would spend hours on one cloth making sure that time had not left too many marks 

Champagne was on ice

Joanne brought a large box of beautiful antique linens

So that I could pick and choose

And so I did

This tablecloth may be my favorite

All the while, a large pot of home made chicken soup was waiting on the stove.

Do you collect antique linens and do you use them?
