Organic linen jacquard robes.....
coming attractions for the Russia House Collection this Spring.......
Take a look!

Plus this lovely linen jacquard robe comes with it's own linen gift bag.....
just fold it up and place it in the bag,
then place the linen bag on your bed with all the other toss pillows......
and it will be there for you later tonight when it gets chilly! 

Delicate ladder hemstitching detailing on the pockets......

The sleeve cuff of our jacquard robe.........

A closer look at this beautiful linen jacquard......the colors of natural and cream linen combine to make a striking woven masterpiece......heavy, yet soft and a classic design that works for both men and women......

   
I loved this linen jacquard so much that I hunted it down in a small linen fabric store in Moscow called "Russian Linen", which is long gone now........replaced by a coffee shop....one of thousands that popped up in Moscow around the turn of the century......1990's to 2000.  My heart wept when this store disappeared from my shopping haunts.  

Anyway, I loved this fabric SO MUCH that I bought enough to re-upholster this antique love seat!  Now, this old love seat was found in an old house my folks purchased in the 1970's to flip......yes, people have been flipping houses long before all the modern day reality shows.   It was upholstered in a heavy moss green velvet which was very worn and filthy.  My dad stripped the old velvet off and discovered horse hair stuffing......this is an old piece!  Anyway, he took it down to the bare frame and it hung in his garage, suspended from heavy wires near the ceiling for about 20 years....until I took pity on it and gave it new life. 

The carved ornamental fleur at the top of the frame was damaged and had to be repaired.....and it went from a traditional maple stain to a rich mahogany.  The entire cushion support system had to be rebuilt and then upholstered.....and this was done beautifully by a restorer in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  I just love it!  I did not have quite enough of this beautiful Renaissance jacquard to cover the entire love seat, so I used a mini houndstooth for the back of the loveseat.....in the same coordinating colors of natural and cream linen. 

I love this love seat.

Cheers, Jilly

Organic linen spa products.....it's Chrismtas everyday!

Well, Christmas is almost here and it's been quite a while since my last blog.....
but I'm promising to be better in the new year....really! 

We've had a good year at the Russia House Collection and
most of the fall has been spent on designing a new line of
organic linen spa robes and products.....
including some amazing linen terry cloth and linen waffle......
something that has not been seen in the United States until now......
so come early Spring.....
you'll get to see some new and amazing products.

But here are some of our current organic linen spa products......

Take a quick look.......
 

Here is one of our linen terry cloth face scrubbers......
also available in a larger size as a body scrubber.

 

 

 

A few of our lavender linen aroma therapy frogs......

filled with lavender buds that will lull you to sleep,

once they hop into your bed pillow ........

 

 

 

 

Maybe this organic linen chenille back scrubber is more your style.....

made from seven layers of linen.....

a heavy center layer of rough organic linen topped

with six layers of light organic linen,  

sewn diagonally, carefully cut and then washed and like magic,

the cut strips of linen turns into a soft linen chenille.....

perfect for that special man that has everything......

except an expectional linen chenille back scrubber!  

Also available in a wash mitt and washcloth....

and available in white linen too!  

 

Perhaps an organic linen shampoo turban is more to your liking........
wrap this around your freshly shampooed hair and the moisture will be wicked away......
giving you time to put on your make up. 
Soon your hair will be ready to blow dry and style......magic!   
Linen is twice as absorbent as cotton so it lends itself nicely to spa products.....

 

Perhaps one of our linen bath towels will suit your fancy......

available in several sizes......

bath towel, large bath towel and bath sheet, the best of all! 

Our bath towels and bath sheets have a wide 3 inch hemstitched hem on each end.....

and the beauty of linen is that is will dry quickly

hanging on your towel bars and

linen will not sour like a heavy cotton terry cloth towel.  

Plus, when you launder these towels.....

they will dry in 15 minutes in a clothes dryer.....

not an hour PLUS for a heavy cotton terry cloth towel.....

THAT is a huge energy savings.....in your pocket!  

Ok, that is enough for now.......hopefully, we have tempted you enough to check out the benefits of organic linen products and the earth friendly characteristics it provides!

Enjoy!


Tomorrow.....or a little later......lovely linen spa robes......sheer bliss! 

Cheers, Jilly
