There's no Feathered Nest Friday this week...
instead- it is my party for the blogger block party week
It's a Shabby Cottage Summer over here!
Ruffles have me right now...
I am just loving them.
So perfect with pretty pinks, & chipping whites...
french bistro chairs and outdoor parties...
They are shabby, cottage, charming and sweet.
Shabby Cottage Summer is my theme for the party~
so I went in search of sweet pinks for my flowers.
These darling Dianthus are so sweet-
and the perfect soft shade of shabby pink.
I also wanted a fabulous little tablecloth for the perfect backdrop
for the outdoor table.
I had a thoughts of burlap with
ruffle
after ruffle
after ruffle
on the sides.
A bit shabby, a bit rustic, a bit chic
&
oh- so charming!
I took my sewing machine out to the back patio & sewed
in the warm sunshine and fresh air.
Good thing I did, because wow does burlap make a mess
but I am absolutely loving the look!
Not 100% finished yet
I have the raw edgings to finish and the other side to ruffle up a bit
so I will share more of this shabby cottage table setting
in another post in the next day or two
when I am done pulling
all the burlap threads and fur off of me and my patio!
lol!
