LEONTINE LINENS ~ CUSTOM LUXURY

My first Splendid Sass post included Leontine Linens, and I have admired the company's work in magazines and on their beautiful website since they opened in 1996.  The quality of Leontine Linens is so superior to most, all being custom made.

You just have to hold these linens in your hands and admire the quality work to understand that you are purchasing an heirloom that will be with your family for years. ENJOY the selection I have chosen!

This beautiful linen hand towel was a gift to me from two kind and generous ladies.  Isn't it absolutely beautiful?  The linen was also beautifully packaged.




The beautiful home of Jane Scott Hodges, owner of Leontine Linens, was featured in Elle Decor in the November issue.  The bedroom of Mrs. Hodges' home is shown below.  Design by Gwen Driscoll Designs.

DID SOMEONE SAY TARTAN PLAID?


There is never a time that tartan plain is not in style and appropriate. The classic plaid originally worn by the British and Scottish is now popular all over the world.

Tartan plaid is not only for apparel, it is the perfect and popular fabric used by top interior designers for the home.  If you are a reader of my blog you know that I love, love tartan.  ENJOY!

From Williams Sonoma...


Tartan Time...












There are so many resources that it is not feasible to add them here.  Find them listed in the Nov/Dec issue of Victoria magazine.  If you live in a country where Victoria is not available, please email me, and I will try to get back to you as soon as possible.  The last two images are from Southern Living December issue.
