Beautiful dress pillowcases







I thought you might like to see these beautiful dress pillowcases I bought second hand. I haven't washed them yet so I'm sure you'll forgive me for not ironing them for the picture.

I so wish that you could also buy the history that goes with them. I wonder where they were made? They have an oriental feel to them. I like to think that a sailor brought them home for his wife from his overseas travels... Or perhaps somebody enjoyed their travels so much, they just had to find a pattern to stitch that would remind them every day of a culture they had the pleasure to dip their toe into. Either way, they are beautifully worked as you can hopefully see from the closeups.
Doxie.
