Tende Italiane... Italian Linens...

 I have lots of little curtains that my mom has given me , or that I have brought back from Italy.  I really love to have them casually covering a window,  allowing the sunshine in,  and the view to the outside to be visible , but still allowing a little privacy and shade.  All over Italy you can see similar little curtains, in windows,  gently blowing in the breeze,  allowing glimpses into homes where the sounds of family and cooking come wafting through.

In our bedroom,  I have used two long curtains as a canopy over our bed.  It's decorative and simple...

I like the way this one looks,  just covering the pillows...

 These pieces aren't expensive,  but they are precious to me...
