Shabby Ruffled Tablecloth

I love crisp white linens with soft sweet ruffles....
Love. Love. Love.

Layer upon layer of gauzy beautiful ruffles cascading over the edge of a table

falling softly onto a chair or to the floor...

 So romantic and charming.

Several of you asked about the drapery panel that I shared in the bathroom makeover

since I am knee deep in several projects right now and not getting as much blogging done 

I thought I would share a bit more about it.

When I was looking for the drapery for the window in the little cottage bathroom

I knew I didn't want something heavy and formal that would change the feeling of the room.

But I wasn't sure just what I would use until after setting the sideboard sink in place

and bringing in the bouquet of Stock.

The romantic pinks and shabby gray and whites mingled and I knew what would be

 a perfect compliment.

I have been sewing a few things ~ working on a little something for a future project and

one of the things that I sewed recently was a crisp cotton tablecloth
with a delightful edging

It's
Romantic.

Vintage inspired.

Perfectly shabby sweet and edged all around in a double ruffle.

 I draped the tablecloth over the curtain rod in the bathroom

and it was perfect.

So I designed a panel for the bathroom and took my ruffled

tablecloth back to be used on the dining room table

I love the white mixed with the vintage pewter plates & silver flatware

and the pale pinks & purples in the blooms

This dainty hydrangea must have been forgotten at the grocery store-

 it was dry & wilted and it was debatable if the blooms would perk up...

but for the marked down price - I thought just a little soaking with cold water might work
and it's back to looking happy and fresh.

So many of you have emailed and asked if I sell the ruffled chair slipcovers 

burlap tablecloths and ruffled linens that I make and share on my blog.

Thank you so much for your interest in them.  So far, I haven't offered them for sale yet

but do have a few things spinning around in that category so stay tuned.

We woke up to rain here yesterday and there is rain in the forecast almost every day this week.

It's a good excuse to stay warm and cozy next to the fire and delve into a few design books

and maybe play a little catch up with blog visits.

I have a fun Spring project coming up ~ a little something to do with our Feathered friends.
:)

Hope your week gets off to a great start!
