Linen

In the honor of the first day of Spring, here are a few of our favorite linen shots.  Linen is obviously a great fabric weight for Spring.  What you probably did not know is, in Egypt, linen was used as currency.  This is why mummies are wrapped in linen.  The amount of linen on a mummy was seen as a display of wealth and a symbol of light and purity.
