Pillow Talk

Fun new pillows for the shop !

I had such a great time putting these pillows together.

 

 

 

 I was on my way home from the shop  the other day thinking hard about what I would like to do for the next sale and this is what popped into my head.  Beside my bed along with my Bible I have a note book as well as several note cards with some of my favorite verses written down on them. I like to look at them often to be reminded of the importance of my faith.

 I have been wanting to do some higher end linen pillows for quite some time now and well, it just seemed to be the perfect marriage.

So, off to the shop they go.
Note~ I will be offering special order pillows that can be ordered until  Dec  6th.
Do you have a favorite Verse or Quote? I would love to hear from you.

Another Chair Saved!

Yes she's cute but just a bit dated, she needed a little makeover

 Here she is all finished up perfect neutral fabrics with a combination of linen and a lightweight upholstery fabric that work great together.

 and a very simple back (zipper at the side for easy removal.)

So versatile, ..... slipcover for the chair the pillow and the lampshade  I love changing up things for the seasons  how about you?
This Chair is available for purchase at Yesterdays Charm

A great Love seat

 with a new look! I found some great fabric at a local Occasional Sale here in town  and it just happened to be just enough to slipcover this great love seat.

A little bit of solid black linen fabric for the piping and tie at the back and she's got a whole new look!
This Love seat will be available for purchase at Yesterdays Charm  in Buffalo MN. SOLD

Happy Fall.
Notes:  fabric purchaced at JoAnn Fabrics
5 yards main fabric and 1/2 yard of fabric for piping.

Headed to the Shop

 I'm so excited to be able to drop off a few new things at the shop tomorrow. I've  been working hard out in the studio getting ready for FALL!      Fun wine bags made of burlap and lace

 Great black and tan pillows and table runners

 A super striking wing back chair made with a touch of vintage charm  I used a old linen tablecloth for the bottom pleated ruffle   love it!!  this one washes up great just a little pressing of the pleats when you pull it out of the drier and you are good to go.

 some great fall colored patch pillows

Hope to see you in Buffalo this weekend!

Odds and Ends

 Here are a couple of different projects that I did for clients  A  great piece of vintage fabric was sent to me via the US post with instructions to" make a pillow" for a sweet client that I've worked with before. She loved the way it turned out

 And another slip cover for Carmella's lamp  It will be in the same room with this couch

More fun stuff later this week

A Chair for the shop

Out and about a couple of weeks ago  I found this cute chair and lamp table.

 Here is the after picture.  I finished it up and took over to the shop last Monday. Happy to say it sold already!

 I took this picture before  I tossed the finished product in the wash and pressed it out abit. The skirt is looking a little bit wild in this picture but it did settle down.

 big grommets painted black for the back

The lamp table got a fresh coat of paint and the shade got a fun slipcover too.
Thanks for stopping and Have a great rest of the week
