A vintage English embroidery. This came from a nice series of embroideries I found last fall. I decided not to use it for the book, figured it might cause a stir.... But so darling with the vintage gingham and used the last of the same trim as below on the bird shade.
A darling red work embroidery shade on my porch today. Look at the sweet vintage trim, wish I had more of this. It was fun to choose which of the red work panels to use. Sometimes you will find them in antique shops or flea markets. They are quilt squares that never got finished into a quilt. I'm always on the lookout for them. Perfect for shades
I needed just the right shade for this funky flea market lamp. It's a great lamp, but needed to be spiced up to look a little less drab. Heather Bailey designed the fabric for freespirit fabrics, great colors and fresh look and very affordable. Check them out at www.freespiritfabric.com. The trim is a Houles onion tassel.
What a sunny day it is here today, got camera out at last. It's long overdue to take a few lampshade shots. They definitely are not the easiest thing to photograph. I was inspired to make some drum shades with these great cotton quilting fabrics from Freespirit, designed by Heather Bailey. And the fun dangly trims. These shades went together in no time flat.
I'm still looking for a new fabric for fall for a drum shade over my desk. Got to find the "right thing" for the fall "cheer me up colors". Maybe this color.... love these new colors on blogger. What fun they are.
