I wasn't quite sure where to put this so here it is. I went over to the lodge yesterday to do a video inventory of personal property. One of the bedrooms had been converted to a linens room. There is a boat load of stuff there. The lodge had 32 guest rooms when it closed. Lot of sorting and washing to do.
Two questions come to mind. PO once gave us a set of sheets from the lodge which were wonderful. They were fine old fashioned crisp cotton. She said she got them and found them too heavy in the wash and didn't use them. Shelves of them are sitting there unused. The lodge closed in 1980. The other quandary is the vintage chenille bedspreads. BUNCHES of them. Some of them are still on the beds. My thought is that they will not hold up for use and might be best put on eBay for those who revel in them? A quick check showed no discolorations or tears...any one here have experience with using old linens?
