Lepalehe Leeni – Alderleaf Leeni

Leeni does not say much. She simplysits there in the middle of the table– quiet, pale and lacy – waiting for someone to put the kettle on and slow down for a while. Thiscrocheted cotton lace tableclothwas named“Alderleaf Leeni”for a reason. Alder is so common in Estonia that we often fail to notice its beauty.…
