Thanks to Suzanne at Colorado Lady for hosting Vintage Thingies Thursday. Stop by her blog for a list of the participants so that you can view all of the neat vintage items.
I have a small collection of vintage damask linens that I would like to share today. Over the years, I have picked these up at yard sales, thrift stores, and antique malls. I always look for different, colorful borders.
These hand towels have morning glory borders in red. The red color is elusive, unless I would be willing to pay a higher price at the more upscale antique venues.
This is one of my favorite hand towel patterns of sailing ships in blue.
Shamrocks!!
This tablecloth has this pretty blue floral border on only two sides.
A tablecloth with a rose design in yellow.
The border is on all four sides; and as is often the case, the hem has been machine hem-stitched.
I have quite a few napkin sets in blue with different patterns. Love the bird design!
A floral design.
Rose and geometric border.
And a different geometric design.
Thanks for stopping by to check out my vintage thingies!!

Those are really beautiful. I used to have a pink one but my little girl (now 48) made it into a baby doll blanket and it is long gone now.

How pretty! I love the theme--I'm more ummmm eclectic to put it nicely--anything goes!
What a nice collection. They are all so pretty. I really like the shamrocks design. Now I'll be keeping my eye out for these linens the next time I hit a flea market. :)
They are all so pretty, but I especially love the napkin with the bird on it (so unique). I love vintage linens, and you have such a nice collection of it. laurie

You know how I love vintage linens. These are wonderful. I love the napkin with the little bird, so cute. I also really like the red towels, very pretty. Have a wonderful week.
Lovely! I especially love the bird pattern!!!
Beautiful collection! The blues are my favorite but your collection as a whole is exquisite. I just love old linens. They get so soft as they age and these have made me smile.
I love vintage linens and can see me collecting these! They're so beautiful! I really like the red!

These are wonderful! And they don't take up too much room but are a delight to have!
What a great collection! And the colors are so pretty - reminds me of a breezy summer day!
How beautiful! You can mix and match those to set a lovely table. I'm thinking I'm going to start looking for some of these myself. I love vintage linens. Thanks for sharing your treasures.

Hey! I think damask is the little black dress of table dressings, agreeable to dressing up or down with just the slightest tweak of accessory, like the napkins in your collection or a placemat of one of those lovely handtowels. I enjoyed seeing what I'm sure is a sampling of your collection. Thank you for sharing!

It looks like I could copy and paste the above comment *L* I really love that yellow rose tablecloth! I wonder if the red ones are harder to find because everyone has red kitchens nowadays?
Oh I love these!!! Vintage table linens are among my favorite things!
