~ Ruffled Linens ~ Beautiful linens and a beautiful heart ~


I had to share with you a new etsy shop I found called Ruffled Linens


I ordered two white ruffled linen pillow shams



I love them
If you are like me and LOVE ruffles you really need to visit Ruffled Linens
But what I love the most about this shop is the giving spirit and caring heart of its owner Christiana



This is what Christiana has on her listing for her beautiful pillowcases :
"I feel like it is so important to give back with the talents we have been given. If you know someone who is sick, or on bed rest for awhile, please contact me. I would like to give one pillowcase away free every week." Christiana 
Christiana mailed my aunt (who has stage four cancer) a beautiful ruffled linen pillowcase a few weeks ago.
My aunt was so touched and loves her new pillowcase.
When I emailed Christiana in regards to my aunt I was so touched and almost in tears when Christiana told me she was going to mail my aunt a pillowcase.
I hope you get a chance to visit her beautiful shop and support the talents of a lady with a beautiful heart as well. 
~ Thank you so much Christiana ~
I hope you had a wonderful weekend friends
Hugs,
Rachel

    Beautiful, Rachel! Christiana is a doll & I ordered the ruffled white linen napkin that's on my bedside chair from her. I love it!

    It is such a sweet thing she's doing with those pillow cases.

    She sounds like an amazing woman. I will definitely visit her shop. It will NOT be a hardship because ruffles are one of my most favorite things on Earth!

    Thanks for the nice comments about our new shabby shelf. If and when we decide to sell it I will definitely let you know. It may have to come home with me one day, hee hee!

    Our shop is located in Centralia, halfway between Seattle and Portland. It's about a 90 minute drive south from you with no traffic.

    Thanks for the linen link and have a great evening enjoying this sun we're getting! Yeah!
