One of my new "Lavender Girl" aka Crinoline Lady tablecloths.

Patra's Place will be mostly about my linen collection, but also about my SINS (Stuff I'll Never Stitch), UFOs (UnFinished Objects) and projects that I am currently working on. Since I created this first blog, I have diversified somewhat! You can see the list of my other blogs, and my favourite websites and blogs by other people, on the sidebar.

how nice ! I have a friend who sells vintage linen on ebay. She brings a container of linen, eiderdowns and other fun vintage textiles from England about twice a year. Let me know if you would like her name ! her shop sounds like your heaven :)
I love these "crinoline" ladies---they are very pretty! I have a book to make similar figures but for quilting. Very nice!!
Robyn, I think I know the ebay seller you are referring to - she mentions in her auctions that she brings stuff from the UK regularly. I have occasionally browsed eBay UK and lusted after some of the cloths, but it is too expensive to pay the exchange rates and postage, so I don't bid for anything there. It is great to know this person is willing to import it in bulk lots!
I had a look, Gina & yes, you have been a customer of hers. I actually help her list sometimes but I am the vintage clothes expert, so that is what I list for her. If ever you get to the Blue Mountains, you must call in and see her shop. You would love it!
I agree with postage costs.
Hey, if I ever see anything in the shop, I could take pictures and email them to you.... then if you wanted you could call her & buy it. Just let me know
Oh dear, don't tempt me Robyn! Just let me find them on eBay; if I am given a free reign to choose without opposition from other bidders, my bank would close its doors on me forever :-(
I especially like the tree...so graphic. Thanks for sharing all these.
