I'm extremely excited to find some new great velvet colors.  I know, we are still waiting for spring, but I'm trying to get better about staying ahead of the game.  These velvets are maroon, gray, pumpkin and gray.   They will make great pumpkins and stockings.

New Spring Slip Covers

I was lucky enough to find this great decorator fabric some time ago.   After some thought of how I would use it,  I decided on a new slipcover for my loveseat.  The menswear inspired pinstripe gave me just the look I was wanted. 

 I love updating and reusing things I already have.  What a great way to give little face-lift to a room just in time for spring.    Now to find time to make the burlap drapes I have planned:)

Colors of Fall

Greetings!

Summer has gone quickly, but as much as I love it, I do enjoy fall. Especially the last few beautiful days we have had. The leaves are beginning to turn and their colors inspired me to make a variety of pumpkins for my Etsy shop. Some I have kept and displayed in a metal basket on my dining room table setting a new mood for the season.

Enjoy the colors of fall while they are here.

Happy Fall!

Almost Time to Say Goodbye to Summer

Summer days are getting shorter reminding us that fall is not far away. While summer will be missed, it is a great opportunity to switch things up a bit around my house. (Don't tell my husband... he thought we were done decorating a year after we moved in)

Thinking of color themes, rounding up objects around the house, possibly picking up a new item or two to complete the plan is half the fun. As exciting as it is, I will wait until September to make these changes. (After all, I am still enjoying summer and will miss it when it's gone).

Here is a picture of my dining room and how it's decorated for summer. Come September I will post my fall look.

Happy Monday

Happy Monday!

I am so happy to have great summer weather, but have been working on winter projects.

Just finished some Christmas stockings. Here is a one of them for a bit of Christmas in August. You will find this one and more in my Etsy shop.

Happy Summer!

Greetings!

Summer is passing by quickly. I'm savoring it as I know it won't be long before the cold of winter returns.

In honor of summer, I have made a cheery, summer purse. It is created from a mint-condition vintage table cloth and features beaded handles as well as a long removable.

Enjoy your summer and, hopefully, my new purse will keep that summer feeling around for a while.

Get Ready for the Holidays

I have definitely been neglecting my blog! With Halloween fast approaching comes the reality that soon the holiday season will be upon us. I am sharing one of my recently listed Etsy items that makes a beautiful accent for a bottle of wine or even sparkling cider. Give it as a gift for your holiday parties or use it to dress up your own home.
