Organizing antique linens
I have some antique linens I inherited from my grandmother sitting in a big box at the bottom of my hall closet. They are ironed and divided into sets, but really hard to access without digging around. I have been trying to think of a better way to store these linens so that I could actually use them once in a while.
According to Martha, I should package them in acid free tissue paper. But this seems even more complicated and hard to access. Instead, I was thinking that I could buy some of these clear archival zip lock bags and store everything in an archival garment box under the bed? What are your ideas?

my super duper homemaker friend in southern france says she folds her linens and ties the sets together with ribbons. basically stack the pieces that go together (the sheets and pillowcases) and then tie a ribbon around it like a package. keeps everything together so its easier to pull out from the stack of linens.
Ooo! Linens and ribbons! My two favorite things!
