Beautiful treasures for your vanity or dressing table!

Line Dried Linens

 

Freshly washed vintage linens.  Line drying in the sun and breeze.  Mmm, they smell like fresh air and sunshine.  There's nothing better than climbing into bed between fresh line dried sheets on a hot Summer night.  It's one of the simple things that makes this shabby girl happy.

Decorate With Vintage Flower Prints

I love vintage flower prints.  They work really well with Cottage Style or Shabby Chic.





The scalloped edging and green border in this print is actually painted on the class.

I like the detailed frame on this one and the overall pastel look.

This pair had dark brown frames so I painted them.

Here's another pair with dark frames.

You can hang several in a group, in pairs or just one individual print.  I love the style of the prints and just the flowers in general.  A lovely addition to your living room, bedroom or hallway.  Don't ever hang vintage prints in a bathroom as the humidity will ruin them.

Back to the Blog!

I've been neglecting my blog lately.  I apologize to anyone who is following me.  I found out my hubby is being laid off soon and I've been focusing on listing things on etsy and ebay.  I'm trying to bring in more income!  I'm sure there are lots of other people out there facing the same problems.  So . . . I will  do my best to post at least once a week and "thanks" to all of you who are following me!

Sweet Little Girl's Vintage Dress

 

I found this darling little vintage dress at a sale.

I love the pink organdy with cream colored design! 

There's even a little fabric flower pinned to the collar.

 

 

It was missing the sash, so . . .

I added a creamy satin ribbon at the waist.

 

  Isn't the skirt sweet?

It has three little tiers edged in lace.

It makes such a cute little accent piece.

Should I keep it, or sell it in my Etsy shop?

Hmmm . . .

I've decided to list this little dress in my Etsy shop.  If you're interested in purchasing it click on the link below.  http://www.etsy.com/shop/WhatGirlsLike?ref=si_shop

Shabby Accessories

 Mix new and vintage items together to create a romantic grouping.

First I bought this cute cardboard case.




I added a vintage hand mirror, bottle, hankie and some silk flowers.

I arranged the silk flowers, cut all the stems to the same length and then tied a silk ribbon around them to form a tussy mussy.

Then I tied ribbon and netting on the handle of the mirror to give it a feminine look.


I washed, starched and ironed the vintage hankie.


I decorated a vintage bottle with lace and ribbon.

Now I have a pretty little grouping of accessories to add to my dressing table, dresser or guest bathroom!



Of course if you don't want to do this yourself, this group is for sale in my etsy shop.
