Fringed


Fringed linen/cotton napkins from Pier I via an estate sale for 75 cents each. 
I got a set of seven.
Odd sets always cost less. 
They originally were $6.00 each.
 All my linens are soaked in hot water and OxyClean. 
Then washed. 


Look at that fringe. 
Thick as my Mama's old mop. 
Where on earth am I going to put them?

I have a couple of other finds I will show later that I am selling.

♣♣♣
In Olive Out news I need to let you know I am having surgery soon. 
Turns out my gallbladder is barely functioning. 
Or rather at 13%.
 I am having more frequent abdominal pain and eating is an issue. 
I already eat a low fat diet so now I am just about on a no fat no dairy diet.
 Saturday I ate a little hummus and green beans. 
This Thursday I have another diagnostic test and will be placed under anesthesia for a few minutes. 
I may be away from the blog for a while off and on.

joy&peace
Olive

    Good luck. You will feel better. When I had mine out the first day was rough. The second day I was really sore when I would move and then it was smooth sailing. So much easier with the lazer route. Good luck with the test as well.

    You'll be so happy you had that surgery. I know you already know that being a nurse and all. It's just about a year since I had my gall bladder removed and boy, what a difference it made. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, my friend.

    Bless you Olive. If they do remove your pesky gallbladder I think you will feel much better. I also wash all my vintage linens in detergent and Oxiclean. They come out so nice and fresh. Keep us posted.

    The napkins are really nice. You will find a place for them.
    You will feel so much better after your surgery. I had mine out years ago the old fashioned way...major surgery. The new procedure is so much better.
    Thanks for your kind comment. Here's to better health for both of us!

    Dear Olive,
    I saw you over on Di's blog and wanted to let you know that I was so sick before I had my gall bladder out in 2009. It will be a blessing to feel better. Took me a little bit to be back and running, but all so worth it! Take care and please, try not to fret.
