Welcome to My About Me Page Please click here to enter Vintage Linen Treasures Updated 05-16-08 As you may have noticed, I haven't been listing anything for a little while now. I decided to take a little break from selling on eBay. Summer is just about arrived hear in San Antonio, and I want to be able to have some time to loaf around, fix up the house, and just be with my family. I started a blog ,VintageLinenTreasures.blogspot.com, a couple of months ago and would LOVE for you to stop by and visit. It will be a great way to keep in touch. I'm going on a couple of buying trips, too. I'll send out an email to everybody who has signed up (so be sure to sign up!) when I'm ready to start sharing all my goodies. Have a wonderful summer! And Blessings to all of you!!! Patricia :o) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PRODUCT LIST: I know that some people (like my mom and good friend) may be sensitive to some scents and/or products so I've listed the specific brand names I like to use. Please be aware that 99% of my items are laundered with these products. If you are sensitive to them, you may want to have someone else open the package and re-wash the item for you, refrain from purchasing my linens. Woolite Biz Powder Cascade Powder Oxy-clean Powder Tide Powder Kirkland (Costco brand) powdered detergent Downey Concentrated liquid fabric softener Niagara Spray Starch Bounce dryer sheet (I usually include a small heart shaped piece of Bounce with each linen) If you have ANY questions or concerns regarding these products, please be sure to ask. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My guest room linen closet is where I store many of my extra chic & shabby accessories and seasonal linens. I like to switch things out a lot, so I have to have a place to keep things out of the way, yet still close at hand. I lined the closet’s wire shelves with a vintage, hand crocheted valance, lace doilies and pillowcases with pretty hand crocheted trim. The pillowcases do double duty as a dust guard from underneath, too. On one side of the closet, I keep all the white and pink linens which are a staple to all the seasons. On the other side are all the colors I use in summer and spring. (Fall linens are higher up on the shelves and are not visible ~ Winter linens are currently in use:o). The great thing about these pretty blues, golden yellows, and rusty red is that they all seem to work together. So no matter which linens I use, they always match! If you’re wondering if all the closets in my house look like this; Ummm~ No! But I do believe that having pretty surprises in closets, drawers, and cupboards, will bring a smile to your face every time you open them. So stock up on small, pretty things to shabby up all the hidden places of your home. Hi! My name is Patricia and I've lived in Southern California almost all my life until recently. My husband was relocated to San Antonio, Texas in September of 2007. We were very blessed to be able to sell our home at a great price in California and purchase a huge new home on ½ acre in Texas. (God had his hand on us through the whole move). Although I miss my family and friends terribly, I’m happy to say that we love it here. It is beautiful here and I just love the gorgeous blue sky with the big puffy white clouds. The night sky is truly like black velvet dotted with tiny bright diamonds. We live a little ways out in the country, but close enough to town and malls that we’re very comfortable. I’ve always heard that people in Texas were friendly, and it is absolutely true. Wonderful people, beautiful scenery and awesome food! I met my husband when I was only 15 years old. We became high school sweethearts and married four years later. That was over 23 years ago, and we are still sweethearts. I could not have asked for a better, more loving husband or a more devoted father for our two children. We have a 19 year old daughter and a 17 year old son. Both are awesome kids and nothing at all like modern teenagers are made out to be. I love to hang out with them and they love to hang out with us, too! I am truly so blessed in all that is important. We also have two big dogs we rescued from the pound. One is a German Shepherd mix and the other is a Rott mix. Both are sweet adorable dogs and follow us around like shadows. I love to sew, paint, scrapbook, and decorate. I used to say there wasn’t enough time to do these things, but after the move, I’m finding there isn’t enough money! Because we bought a brand new house, any “extra” money goes to the basics: window treatments, landscaping, etc). Also, it’s not a cottage style home, so I’m learning to decorate all over again. Wish me luck! Every once in a while you'll find one of my little creations, but mostly you'll find treasures made by others. I love working with these old linens and am constantly amazed at the talent and workmanship of our grand mothers. It's an art that is in danger of being lost and I am thrilled to be able to enjoy them for a little while before I pass them on to you. My husband and I go shopping for treasures on most weekends and truly enjoy the time we spend together. I get so many compliments on my man who holds up a sweet pillowcase and shouts across the crowd, "Look at this cute kitty pillowcase, Honey!" He's my secret weapon when we go shopping and I always take him along. He just charms everyone he talks to; that's how we find so many great deals to pass along to you. I want to say thank you to all of you who have made selling on eBay such a pleasure. I had no idea it would be so much work to sell, but it was an even bigger surprise to find how much fun it is. I've met so many sweet and wonderful people and can honestly say I've made many friends on eBay. Thank you, again, for taking a moment to read about me. I'll update it every once in a while and post any notices that may be important (like vacations!). Have fun bidding and good luck!
