ebay is a dangerous place to be. i just came across this seller, who has a wonderful collection of antique textiles. in particular the embroderies catch my eye:

i’ve started an inspirational textiles set as a way of keeping these beautiful things for ever, without actually having to shell out money or find somewhere to store/display them.
