About Me
- vintagelaundress
- Hi, my name is LeAnn Stephenson and I'm a confessed "linen addict", I love that intense flutter of excitement that I feel in my stomach when arriving at a flea market, tag sale, or estate sale. I'm overwhelmed by the notion of giving new life to an old, tattered piece of furniture or resurrecting an abused printed vintage tablecloth, or admiring the fine woven pattern in a antique damask textile piece that I'm ironing. My grandmother, mother and aunts have told many a story of their lives, the joys that they shared and the hardships that they endured. Each story was complete with a full visual set-up of the location and how it was decorated - down to what each person might have been wearing. I have attempted to recreate those stories through what I collect. And without knowing it, they opened a door to an amazing glimpse of family culture and history for me. In doing so, gave me a jump start in developing my "eye" and, later, a means of earning a living. I will be forever grateful for those women and their stories, and the gift of knowing who I am and what I came from.
