- Exquisite satin crib
or pram coverlet. Shown here, it is folded over,
showing the beautiful trapunto embroidery (scan
doesn't do justice). Under the fold is a little
pocket maybe for baby's calling cards or a
hankie. This piece is in excellent condition, the
old satin having the soft touch of long years and
loving care. #LIN1 $45.
- Sweet old cotton baby blanket, with bunnies galore. Reverse side has colors in reverse. #LIN15
$35.
- Sweet, unusual
blanket, called a pram blanket. Wonderful old
woolen worn soft, trimmed in pretty old satin,
colors in reverse on the back. The lappets at the
top have old ribbons attached, just not sure the
function. Very fine condition. #LIN3 $49
 
- Fine old silk
comforter with beautiful hand embroidery (see
detail at center above). This piece is quite old,
quite fragile, but it would be beautiful as decor
in a vintage nursery or bedroom. #LIN4 $65.
- This is the prettiest baby bunting we have found. It is old pink silk and has the little bonnet attached, which is lined in flannel. Trimmed with pretty soft ribbons. #LIN5 $45.

a new, handmade and embroidered bunting to your
specifications. Inquire at demoisellemail.com.

(Blanket clips sold)
- Antique dotted Swiss pillow case trimmed in old French lace. (Note: The pillow case is beautiful old ivory, not blue; it merely looks blue because paper has been inserted so the piece will show up against a white background.) #LIN9 $22.
