Rustic French Decor

Inspiration can strike at any time. 

I was taking pictures of some spoons to list in my shop. 
I added roses as an accent in the pictures.  

While I was standing there I thought they look so lovely together that 
I wanted to keep them that way. 

So . . . I took a few of the spoons and wired them together, 
added some vintage lace and a handmade tag. 
And viola the spoon bouquet was created! 

The tag can be used for an inspirational word, a name, 
you could even use them on each guest's plate at a tea party 
or wedding and use the tag as a place card. 

Hmm, maybe I should make more of these . . .

You can find this one in my Etsy shop:

Shabby Chic Organizer Bag

My latest creation is an organizer bag using fabric and vintage linens.

                                                                                                                 

Here it is filled with goodies

Here's Where to Find It!

Shabby Chic Pillows

 I made these little pillows from some of my less than perfect vintage linens.


The round one is made from an apron that had a few stains. I just cut around the bad areas and used the rest. The ruffle is made from the apron ties. I did have to do a little seam ripping (taking off the stained pocket and removing the pink trim so I could reuse it).

The square one is made from napkins that I would never have used because they were a satin type of fabric and there were only 2 of them. I added the lace trim.

So next time you are thinking about tossing those vintage linens that have stains you can't remove or a few holes, consider repurposing them instead : )
