Arte Pura Italian Linen



A few weeks ago, Trish from Trouvais pointed me in the direction of a fabulous giveaway at Beadboard UpCountry, the website and blog of Maryanne Flaherty.



Maryanne was giving away a beautiful Italian linen pillow from Arte Pura....
...it is called the Federa Arricci Con Stampa.



I am sure you can imagine my delight when I found out that I was the lucky winner!



This gorgeous, luxurious pillow made of the softest Italian linen arrived today...



Just look at the luscious script and the fabulous deep 6 inch border ...



Scrumptious details...



Sophisticated and elegant...



Thank you so much Maryanne!
I am so grateful for this very generous gift and know that it will be the crown jewel when combined with my antique linens..



These are some photographs of other items from the Arte Pura line...
...Maryanne carries this line in her Euro country boutique in Brenham, Texas.







...and now, about that number 52 copper printer's stamp...

Of course, you are right...

...it is a 25...not a 52.




...even if you turn it upside down...

... it's a 52 with attitude!

silly me!
