In addition to the Cuban whitework<\/a> that Irene loaned me, she also sent some embroidery that was described as South American. There was a needlelace doily, and two hand towels.<\/p>\n

The doily is in a very similar vein to one that I found amongst my great aunt’s linen<\/a> some time back.

However, they are beautiful and worth enjoying together!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
