I'd rather have a stack of lovely linens than a diamond ring...
(well a really big stack)!

Sissie's Shabby Cottage said...

Give me beautiful linens and I'll love you forever! I think that my love for them goes back to when I was a little girl. I would watch my Grandmom carefully launder, starch and fold her lovely linens and then place them in a special cabinet scented with lavender.

Can't wait to see your creations.


hugs
Sissie

OMGoodness Shellagh! Why does this happen? The feeling I get when I see linen, I want to buy it. I don't think this is a weird post at all...
Oh, 84 here today, up to 87 tomorrow. It should be cooler.

I am literally drooling all over the computer!!~ I am a linen addict too Shellagh and I'm not afraid to admit it! :)The rolls of red striped grain sack in one of the photos has my heart beating faster.
Bring on more, I say!
Have a lovely night.
Sincerely,
Melinda

Michelle said...

Makes total sense to me -- it's gorgeous!

Burlap Luxe said...

Shellagh, are you kidding me? A strange post? Not at all for I have a thing for linen as well, I think it is the romance in a tattered hole so forgiving, the old and new smell, the touch of old and new, the life they hold timelessly.

I love this post and it is so you, now go sew your heart out for I love seeing what you create.

Come visit my amazing find and what a deal!
I next will have to find its right fit in my home to what I want to move where! I have all the pieces in my home where I love them yet when something new comes in I want to disturb the placement to move in something new :) Should I dare I play these kind of favorites ?

See you soon.
Keep inspiring us girl, you never fail to please us.
xoxo

Forklift or Lift Trucks You Industrial Equipment on Duty Beer Beer Beer Beer. Some beer and liquor specials going on, just ask the bartender. Industrial Equipments like forklifts or lift trucks/machines have been a high demand in companies, businesses and other industrial organization that requires transporting heavy materials to make to work faster, easier, and safer. The rated capacity of a forklift is the amount of weight it is able to lift. It is found on the unit's data plate along with other important machine specification. As always, the higher you are lifting a load the lower the capacity will become. If you add an attachment this will also affect the unit's capacity. Before deciding on what forklift to rent or buy, be sure you have approximation of the weights and sizes of the loads you intend to lift. Your trusted can help you with this if necessary. Using forklifts with too small of a capacity can cause damage to the goods you are lifting and can be dangerous to operators and those around them so enough learning is really important for every forklift operators to avoid accidents. Safety precautions when using forklifts to avoid accidents tend to occur commonly in industrial usage. However, one must be careful not to overload the machine. Accidents happen due to errors rather than technical faults. Always conduct safety checks every day. And also, when buying new or used forklift, make sure that all parts are completely installed and not broken or damaged. 20.198 If you don't have the resources to set up a forklift safety program in-house, make sure to have specialists come in and train your workers. You can also look into having your workers enroll in independent forklift classes. Any of the costs you incur setting up a training program will be worth it in the long run because maintaining a safe, and efficient warehouse is invaluable.
