Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and so is noticing the fine craftsmanship of the products we sell at My Chic Farmhouse. When it comes to linens, we first look at the fiber used to make them. We especially love natural fibers such as linen, cotton and hemp because of their sustainability and easy to care for functionality. There is something special in the way these fibers feel when they are touched. Because we buy from respected Italian linen companies, we know their products are environmentally safe.

One important thing we love to point out to our customers when showing them an item is its artistry. For example, we have been buying table linens from Tessitura Toscana Telerie, a world renowned linen company in Florence, Italy, for years. When looking closely at any of their rectangular or square tablecloths and runners, you will see the fine details in the sewing of them. The corners are mitered. The stitching is straight and perfect. The quality is such that you know you will have the item for a very long time. In fact, you may choose to hand it down to another family member who has always admired it because, with the proper care, it remains in excellent condition.

Here are two photos showing the fine workmanship of a Tessitura Toscana Telerie table runner. One is the outside corner of the table runner showing the perfect stitching and the other is the inside showing the mitered corner. We believe quality is important. It is one more layer to the beauty of the item and one we certainly appreciate.
