Summer is here, and our thoughts turn to warm weather activities, lazy weekend afternoons spent lounging in a hammock or chaise in the shade - or sunning at the lake or beach...or searching for a new-found treasure in an air-conditioned antiques shop or flea market! We think of lighter, brighter fabrics and colors...weddings and celebrations like graduation, Father's Day and the Fourth of July...pie suppers and cool linens...and jewelry that reminds us of flowers and fun!
These are the treasures that fill my Etsy shop...vintage finds that reflect a sunny, summer mood...an era of gentility and celebration...or even a trip to Paris! Check out my shop - This Reminds Me... and see what suits your fancy!

Why Linens and Lids?
In case you're wondering - and I'm sure you are! - I call this blog Linens & Lids & More because I have developed a reputation for having quite a collection of vintage linens, as well as a huge basket of lids of all kinds. If your dish is missing the lid, I may very well have one that will fit!
I am drawn to vintage linens, and I have purchased hundreds of pieces, carefully washed, dried, starched and pressed them, and offered them a second life in someone else's home. I keep dozens of tablecloths, napkins, table runners, and more in my closet and offer what I cannot use for sale in my shop on Etsy.
A few years ago, I purchased a large lot of glassware at an auction that contained several assorted lids. I cleaned each one and placed them in a basket in my booth at an antiques store, and they sold like hotcakes! Now I actually look for old lids at estate sales and auctions, and I keep a nice assortment on hand. If you need a lid, I may have one for sale!
So my husband said, "I think you should call your blog 'Linens and Lids!'" Isn't he a genius?! Please check this blog or my Etsy shop to learn more about my latest discoveries - which could become your newest treasures!
