Everything is on Sale! Chenille Bedspreads, Vintage Sheet Sets and Linens, Accessories and Home Decor!

Hello Friends!  Long Time - No Post!  Wow, how time flies and life just takes over!  Hope all of you are doing well.  :-)

I can hardly believe, I've been offering my vintage finds and handmade pillows and stockings online for 8 years - wow!  Where did the time go?  

I've got something to share with y'all... for the first time, EVER!  I am clearing my shop.  All vintage items, including chenilles, quilts, duvet covers and other bed linens, home decor and accessories - everything but some of my handmade items.  The sale runs until all items in the Clearance Section of my shop are gone off to new homes.  I've even included new arrivals - and will continue to add to it weekly.  On August 1st, I will further reduce the items left and will do the same thing on September 1st.

If you've shopped with me before, you have your "thankyou10" coupon for an additional discount.  

If you are wondering if I am going anywhere - No!  :-) It is just time for me to change gears a bit and pass things along.  Over the years, I have acquired so much inventory and I am trying to work up to destashing some of my private collections - that's gonna take some thinking and praying and crying!  LOL!!

Thanks for stopping by today - enjoy your Summer!!

Not just any chenilles, but Morgan Jones, Bates and even a Hoffman Daisy. Oh, the daisy is so fluffy and soft! So here's some eye candy, get your drool bucket ready...

ApartmentTherapy.com

Shortly after I opened my etsy shop, Apartment Therapy featured some of my bedspreads on their blog. I have sold all those spreads now and wish I still had them! LOL!! Once a chenille junkie, always a chenille junkie! I trust that you all are well and had a great Easter! This Southern Belle is counting the days until April 15th and then she can have a life again! I am itching to get into the studio and craft once more! Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week!!

Let the Sun Shine In!

I found a pair of the most cheerful vintage bedspreads a couple weeks ago. They are new vintage - tops are quilted and skirts are full and flowy. They flaunt the biggest, brightest sunflowers - just so fresh! I could not wait to freshen them up with a spin in the washer and dryer and get them on my Great Grandmother's bed at the cottage.

After Great Grandpa died and she got too old to stay by herself, she would alternate back and forth going to spend time with her children and had a twin bed at each house. It is iron and I believe it used to be black, but my sister-in-law painted it a creamy white. I use it in the spare room at the cottage and model my twin size spreads on it. The spread looks so cute on it, I want to keep it, but if you have ever been to the cottage, you know that I have WAY too many bedspreads for that bed alone. I will be selling bedspreads til the cows come home. LOL!!

These are listed in my shop.

♥♥♥

Hope you guys have a blessed week!! Thanks for stopping in!!

I'm Not Plump, I'm Fluffy!

I have a coffee cup that states this and has an extra "fluffy" white cat on it - I have enjoyed it for years. When I got this pillow finished and the feather/down insert in it, that little saying went through my head!! This pillow can't deny it - she is plump and fluffy!! LOL!! Crafted with vintage Cabin Crafts White Squiggle Chenille that came from a bedspread that I could not save. Super white and soft and ready to take her place in just about any setting. Another product of crafting therapy!

A Blast from the Past...

...I had a flashback when I saw this spread - it is so mod and retro. The colors and style tell me it is probably from the 1970s. I love the avocado green and the chenille tufted daisies all over the top. It is in fabulous condition and waiting for some lucky girl! It is full size and is listed in my shop.

Vintage Coverlet - Crocheted Roses

I worked at the cottage some today, taking pics of things, trying to list items in my shop. Really, the housekeepers are coming tomorrow, so I was trying to get all my stuff stuffed into closets so they could have a path for the vacuum - LOL. I ran across this vintage coverlet that I purchased a while back and I just got so excited about it, how it looked, with all those crocheted roses - 220 of them. And how it looked on the bed. It has this wonderful 8" crocheted trim around three of the edges and the other edge just tucks under your pillows. I believe it to be completely handmade - Can you imagine the time it would take to do that?? The edges just looked so pretty hanging over the side of the bed. Just had to share with you gals...

Thanks for stopping by!
