...when we went up in the loft we found two big wooden trunks filled of precious stuff...
...more than 20 sheets of hand-woven hemp...they've never been used and they are in perfect conditions....
...lots of hemp grain-sacks all hand-hoven...some of them have several patches because mouses often gnawed them in the barn...what's incredible for me it's that those women, after working all day long in the fields (they grew also their own hemp) they spun and wove the canvas by candlelight during the night...
...we also found this old white terrine...
...and some religious pictures in old frames...
This is only a little part of what we have bought for LC...we have lots of work now...washing and iron all the linen, taking photos, add the items in the web-shop...but it's always exciting finding old treasures which tell us stories of past times...I'll show you more finds in the next posts!

Ciao, Vale...all those beautiful linens and treasures have fallen into your hands for the best care and use of them. I think Rose is very happy knowing you will appreciate the personal things from her life, remake them into your lovely creations, and share them with others who will also love them and incorporate them into their homes and heirlooms.
I love how you give new life to old memories! I look forward to seeing more from Rose's collection, and what you will do with everything!
Have a fun week, with all your new goodies...

So nice to see these treasures now in your hands where they will be appreciated and then later all of us. It really was a hard life back then. When I am tired at the end of the day I need to remind myself how easy we really have it now!

I can imagine, how adventurous it must have been to look into the house of old Rose! Searchng for her treasures - and find them! Wonderful material and the terrine and the picture you showed us, and you said, there is more! Lucky girls you are!
Hugs, Traude
Ciao Bella,
when you want to find old treasures come to my "soffitta"....it is full of old things from my grandmother....mother....father....from an old old uncle of my mother who was an engineer on a ship and brought for example a very old handmade "tovaglia" with stitching from South America home as a present......I`ll take a photo and show you one day.....But bring time with you, my "soffitta" is big and full and there is only a small light and don`t forget warm coats because it is not isolated and very cold at the moment....
I sometimes will bring you a nice cup of coffee and some baked biscuits and in the evening I`ll bring you a hot vino brulè.....
while I am sitting with a wonderful cocktail in my warm an cosy sitting room.....
tanti saluti e bacci
Iris

Ciao Vale,
che fortuna, tutti questi tessuti...
Quando si dice 'i ricordi della nonna'. Buon lavoro! Io non ne vengo proprio fuori!!!
Un abbraccio,

Oh Vale all things are really lovely. What shall you do with all the things?
Best regards

Beautiful treasures!
ciao.
a me hanno regalato asciugamani e asciugapiatti che facevano parte del corredo di una signora (anzi: signorina) anziana e deceduta che non ha mai avuto la gioia di usare.
Io li ho presi con estremo piacere e li uso nel quotidiano, anche se sono un pò più antipatici da stirare!
buon week end!
Claudia
Dear Vale,
Thank you so much. Yes I really like the blue colors as well.
Have a lovely week end
Agneta
Such wonderful pictures! It´s really a big chance to have got the permission to take these great linens with you! They are worth a lot of money.
