Frost

November is here, soon frost will kiss ground. So to honor the cooler weather, I decided to frost my brown linen sheets with icy aqua shams and coverlet.
I am thoroughly enjoying the last of my Sombrielle roses before they begin their winter hibernation.

French, Fringed, and Fabulous

Kari Meng of French General fame  has recently come out with a line of fabrics inspired by vintage French linens. This heavy weight linen is my favorite.  A quick stitch along each end and plucking about an inch of threads and I've got a new table runner.

Friday Find

Sometimes I find something so intriguing, that it's too hard to resist!  ENID, a clever retro-chic shop in Fredericksburg (specializes in handmade and unique gifts) offers magic tape. With several different motifs to choose from- I may have to go back for more! Each 2" tall ring of tape is 30 yards long (yes, YARDS, that makes this stuff about 12 cents a foot or a penny an inch) - it goes forever.  So you can tape up gifts, make your own custom stationary & envelopes (it took me less than 5 minutes to whip-out all of these cards & envelopes), decorate frames, corkboards, um, I know there is a lot more you can do with this stuff! 

The tape has just enough stickyness to adhere securely, but remains easy to work with.  I used a bone folder to go over the tape once I had it in place to remove airbubbles. WOW  - What a fun product!
You can buy it on line from ENID, but I suggest you just stop on by and see all of the exceptionally interesting things Lara has available!

Think Pink

The idea of blogging pink in October for breast cancer awareness is running through the blogosphere.

Pink is not typically my "go-to" color, but I thought this month I am going to use pink in my bedroom to remind me daily about the women who are out there fighting!  You go, Girls!
