The linen is the empty canvas called life. We are to create and express ourselves. The tea towel is me through the grieving process. It will take several washing with tears to soften my grief. We are beautiful creation of God and with his tender hands he will soften our heart.<br /><br />Beautiful post my dear friend,<br />Yoli :)Apron Senoritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04642743350351924721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089316062583477747.post-69338858742842545432011-09-22T11:43:54.980+02:002011-09-22T11:43:54.980+02:00One of the best things about vintage linens is the...One of the best things about vintage linens is the stories behind them.
