Vintage Linens from M&M Antiques in Monroe

I found this lovely gingham embroidered apron a few weeks ago at the antique store with the chicken on it.  Yesterday, I added these two embroidered kitchen towels to my collection.  Since I am going into the pie-baking business, I love the blue towel below!  And the red embroidered towel is such an intricate kitchen scene that you really need to spend a few minutes looking at all of the detail to really appreciate the work that someone spent to design and create it.  These types of 'fancy work', as my Aunt Elsie called it, is a dying art.  Fortunately for me, I am able to find lovely examples such as these to evoke my childhood, and represent a time when cooking and homemaking were art forms.
