Musings of herb gardening, interior decorating, vintage finds and just the beautiful things in life........
This week I had time to stop by a couple of junk shops and here is what I found. A bag of galvanized jar lids, a couple pins, and an awesome bracelet that was bought for the Fleur-De-Lis on it. Those will get taken off and used in another project...maybe lavender sachets.
Also picked up this sweet little bench that will go in the garden somewhere. Maybe by a lavender bush or by the pink roses. Won't it look adorable with a watering can sitting on it?
Then I found a big bag of old lacy collars and crochet trims. I will use them on new curtains for the bedroom redo I am planning in a few weeks. 
Hubby is going fishing for a week so that leaves me free reign to paint away in the master bedroom. I am in the process of getting some chocolate brown houndstooth fabric for curtains and think I will sew some of the lace and crochet trim to them.
I also got this old dress for the bottom trim to attach to the curtains.
See the pretty trim?

Oh gosh we have a lot in common Mandy! I used to work for Lenscrafters and I speak optical LOL :) Well I used to.

ReplyDeleteGreat finds. I love the bench especially.
ReplyDeleteWell I am officially in-like with your blog now, and even bought a bottle from your etsy shop! We can thank Phyllis above (in your comments) for this! =)
ReplyDeleteHi Mandy,
ReplyDeleteYou found some lovely goodies on your adventure to the shops. I love the little garden stool you found ~ it will look so pretty in the rose garden!
I know you are going to have fun working with the crochet and lace! The new April Country Living magazine had a little article about all the neat things you can do with lace and doilies, so you'll have to see that.
Hugs, Bebe :)
