Plethora of Pillowcases

Yep, I definitely have a superabundance of vintage pillowcases! I have pairs, singles, queens and standards. There are cottons and blends; pinks, yellows, blues and greens. Tiny floral prints and large geometric jumbles. Listing fairy! Where are youuuuuuuu ??????

I have a question for you if you don't mind :0) Do you have a special trick for getting that smell out of vintage bedding? It's not totally mothballs, not totally musty... just "vintage sheet smell" ya know? Most I have good luck with soaking in hot water/borax then washing & line drying. But I have some stubborns ones that I can still detect that smell. I purchased a lovely bit from you this summer and it smelled clean & fresh! Hmmm... Thank you so much! Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Caryn~ Thanks for your message! Unfortunately I do not have a trick to getting smells out of vintage sheets. I always give it a good sniff test before I leave the store, and if that smell is there, I usually pass on by. Then I just launder with my usual detergent & dry with my fabric softener sheets. I have heard people say that fresh air and sunshine are the best for getting rid of smells, but I'm not sure that applies to this case. Happy Thanksgiving back to you :)
