7. Cute Curtains! Saw some in a magazine and thought, 'that's a neat idea and they would suit my wonky little kitchen' so I made my own patchwork curtains and they look so cute! It's my second go at patchwork and all and all I'm pretty pleased with myself even when I look close. Ha ha. And...there's a warm fuzzy in it too. I had some old vintage tablecloths that came from various different women in the family which I have loved to pieces....unfortunately almost literally. It's been a sweet way to keep them going! |
8. Vintage China An arty friend of mine has the most extraordinary house. I remember the first time I went to Isbel's house. It was like walking into wonderland. Her house was a reflection of her arty self and it was beautiful! Color, fabric, light and creativity everywhere! We all sat down for afternoon tea and our cups were all vintage china - no two sets alike and it was magical. As adults we get so pedantic about matching things and getting things perfect that when we come across someone who enjoys things for no other reason that it is beautiful, we are reminded what we are missing by being so 'grownup'. From that moment on, I have had a love affair with vintage china, amongst other things. Thankyou Isbel! |
