29. I've been sleeping most of today.
I'll get back to you tomorrow on the linens. My friend is 90 years old and twelve of the fine linen napkins have crochet or tatting in the center (I am a total klutz at needlework - I have sewn for myself several times and nothing I've ever made from fabric looks or fits better than a Medieval serf's smock or a cafeteria worker's uniform) and embroidery which I will describe when I have it in front of me. This set of twelve napkins were in her mother's trousseau and are embroidered with her initials. I think they date to close to the turn of the last century. I could not bear to wipe my greasy mouth with one, but I will describe them better tomorrow or get a photo so you can see them. :hi:
