~shabby vintage ruffles goin' on~

remember the pillow cover i showed you here

 in that gorgeous~romantic~ floral rose~ vintage~ linen?

well, i just couldn't leave it alone, i had to create a ruffley version

i think they would look sweet together on a wicker sofa or porch swing

shabby and springy and super comfy

~larger than a throw pillow, but smaller than a bedding pillow~

the perfect size to sink back into with a glass of lemonade....

.....happy spring - the sun is finally shining here today, yay!

isn't she sweet...

isn't she sweet...

I was taking photos for my etsy store, and realised she really is too sweet to part with

and this is an old print, just look at the back!

so I think I'll keep her for a while and see how that works out

welcome sweet girl!

VINTAGE FINDS

Today my youngest stayed home from school, so I thought to myself, hmmm, a day at home, I can work on a lot of projects. Why do I always think that! Anyway, did get the house cleaned up and a couple new things listed on etsy, that's what I have to show for today! But then what greater project is there really than taking care of my family:-)

Here are a couple of the favorites I listed today on etsy:

A gorgeous cream wedgewood bowl. Just love the two handles. Wouldn't it look great filled with flowers. I'm thinking centrepiece. Easter eggs. Flowers. Chicks. Lace.

One of my very favorite finds, these two vintage roses on metal leaf bases. They have delicate pink and white petals. So romantic and victorian looking. The mirror in the background is one of my projects-in-waiting, I'll show you soon, promise! I am so in love with that mirror, I can't tell you!

A dainty victorian style dresser jar and lid. The glaze has a faint crackle in it giving it that aged patina. No cotton ball ever found a classier home!

A heavy ironstone serving bowl, with intricate "castle" patterning on the inside. Love the great condition this ironstone is in. And yes, another project-in-waiting in the background....

Don't you just love gazing on beautiful things!

Happy days!
