Lots of layers of torn shabby ruffles for beautiful texture. This pillow sham features a zip closure for removing the poly pillow insert. The pillow sham may be washed and dried---and the zip closure will also allow for monogramming. Embroidery can be added after you receive the sham from my shop---personalize for a gift or just for you. The neck roll photos show the pillow sham made in cream washed linen. Available in white and other neutrals, too. Thank you for considering my shop! Message me with any questions-I would love to sew for you and your home! debbie<br />

Showcasing my new summertime linens in petal pink...mixed with velvet ribbon trim. The torn, shabby ruffles create a less than perfect Cinderella style finish. The bedding shown is available in my etsy shop and will soon be available on my web site as well. All sizes available from crib to king. You can see the listing with king bed pricing here: <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/614893577/king-torn-ruffle-bedding-petal-pink?ref=listing_published_alert" target="_blank">Torn Ruffle King Bedding in Petal Pink Washed Linen</a></div>

Not all clients plan to use bumpers in their cribs, but there are wonderful linens that can be used to soften the nursery and create a serene room for baby.<br />
<br />
The natural linens shown below in oatmeal are a few of those very pieces. Beautiful washed linens that soften baby's space and add a layer of texture. All pieces are machine wash and dry. Please be sure to visit my new website <a href="https://cottageandcabininteriors.com/" target="_blank">Cottage and Cabin Interiors</a> or my etsy shop <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/cottageandcabin" target="_blank">cottageandcabin</a> to see my other nursery, bedding, pillows, and window treatments. I would love to sew for you and your home.<br />
<br />

This cropped jacket was made with an antique script heavy slubbed cotton in orange and brown/black on white....totally lined piece, so it may be worn on the reverse side...which is a classic black and white lightweight cotton gingham. The open weave ruffles are made with 100% linen---and left unfinished for a cute, shabby look.<br />
<br />
Cropped length of approximately 23"<br />Long sleeves may be rolled up or left ruffled<br />Front width----29"<br />Back width ----29"<br />
<br />
Made over-sized for layering----such a fun piece to wear!<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
Working in the shop today----not unlike any other, really----but, as I am answering etsy messages, and checking my fabric stock, and sewing orders for shipping, I remember our life this time of year when the children were young. You see, there were no computers then, no online sales, I really think there was not even a word "online".....and, yet, we marketed our wares...we were artists then (we did not know it, though)...we just worked and looked forward to this time of year----to be able to pull out all the stops and work hard and long hours getting ready for "craft shows"....our market. The autumn season was the perfect setting for our array of snowmen, santas, angels, and anything and everything old world Christmas. From quilted stockings to 5 foot tall Santas and Snowmen....mantle blocks and ornaments...trinket boxes and our displays----yes, our shoppers always wanted to buy our displays. We were country when country wasn't cool---we had shabby things cause that's how we rolled, it's what we had...so our displays were tables that Bobby made from old doors...and barnboard shelves---just bits and pieces of our lives---simple and country. Our children lived that life with us----not sure that they loved "craft show season", but it was the time of year that we flourished at our market. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, I am so thrilled that our daughter was accepted to show at the Vintage Holiday Market in Birmingham, Alabama this fall...it will be quite the experience and learning opportunity for her and her 2 "elves"----they are all so excited, especially the boys----they are a major help to Lauren's shop---and, do they take their job seriously!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You can see more info about the show on facebook...</div>

This tree---we've had our ups and downs...from being in a large pot on my front porch where it almost froze to death one year...until I finally gave in and agreed that it must be planted...just to see what could/would happen. Surely, it has to be better?<br />
<br />

And-----yes, in Southeast Alabama in the summertime, it is better----so much happier and healthier...and the branches are loaded, and heavy! My brother-in-law assured me just last week that the lemon tree will probably not make it through this winter (I guess it's supposed to be a really hard winter in the South this year)----but, I have to believe! I love believing and hoping and wishing----so, here's to a winter that is wonderful and cold, but one that my lemon tree will survive!<br />
<br />
I think we should harvest over 50 lemons from our tree this fall!<br />
<br />
For these lemons life has dealt, we are thankful...and wishful, and hopeful, and believing in a fall season full of good things for our family! So many of us work for ourselves, by ourselves...and, we are constantly busy----working on new ideas, planning new items for the etsy shop, and doing our very best to keep our priorities in check. May we be ever mindful of what is important!<br />

I do believe it is my favorite to date....I think I say that very same thing each time I complete a project :) But it is the linen-the washed linen...and in natural-such a beautiful, neutral color. It can't be wrong anywhere. As a matter of fact---I think it is absolutely perfect, especially for Betty Jo!<div class="separator" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><br />

This 2 cushion sofa is showing a bit of its age in its red stripe upholstery...and the seat cushions are worn and sort of thin. When Betty Jo called to ask about slipcover options for her sofa-I immediately suggested linen. And not a crisp pressed linen...but a fabulously casual, washed linen-in natural!<br />
This sofa required about 18 yards of fabric....for the slipcover in a tailored style. Cushion covers with cording and zipper closures-and an extra piece of bonded poly batting added about an inch to the cushion....and that gives the sofa a little more personality and comfort.<br />
I made the slipcover for the main sofa body with a little bit of oversize...not too much....just a bit....for a casual appearance-and, to be able to remove the slip for necessary washes.<br />

So please understand if you come my way or notice the backgrounds in the photos I post....that everything you see has a purpose...or, just maybe, a potential purpose as a part of a sewing project...or furniture re-do. Thank you, God....for work and clients!

Bobby made this one with salvaged finds including the old wood door with great single pane windows-leaving the door knob and lock intact, rough wood re-purposed from a shipping crate, some random vintage iron pieces to add a bit of personality, and even a few pieces of old kitchen flatware....flattened and shaped into hooks for functionality.<br />
This piece is a large one...measuring 78" tall and 31" wide. The table area allows 25x24" of work space at a comfortable height of 35". There is a lower shelf of equal size below to hold potting soil and extra clay pots.<br />
A couple of great add-ons for this piece include the side mounted iron towel bar....how cool is that?...made from an old iron rod...and the wood box to keep your scissors, twine, and small garden tools in check. Bobby even made a small shelf and attached it to the window area of the door--this shelf could hold small bedding plants, seed packets and even a little topiary for decoration. Bobby added a pale antiqued aqua to the work table and accessories for a little color and fun! <br />
Use your own ideas, too...to make this unique piece work into your porch or patio! Aside from the traditional gardening use, this table could function as an outdoor grilling "prep table"...or beverage center....or a serving table loaded with hors d'oeuvres and cocktails for an outdoor get-together around the pool. Bobby has an early Friday delivery planned for this piece...to his booth at Old South Antique Mall in Dothan, Alabama...stop by and take a look if you are close-by! <br />

And he has a couple of great new tables available...they were delivered to our new booth at Old South Antique Mall in Dothan, Alabama...just this afternoon. I think you will agree that each has a unique style...and each could serve most any purpose you could imagine. So...a few photos to share...and I will give you sizing details...just in case you are wondering...<br />
The long buffet style table would be great at just that....a serving table. It would also function equally in your entry or mudroom...with baskets on the lower shelf to hold just what you need. An old shutter door serves as the top of this piece. The buffet table measures 16x78x34 inches tall...<br />
Table #2....oh...this is a great one! A beautifully rustic foyer table...or that's what I call it! A vintage window 45x23 tops this handmade item...and with Bobby's carpentry skills...farmhouse style legs have been added along with a skirted surround below the window top. This table has a finished height of 35". <br />
So...use them as you would like...in a new home, your cottage...or at the lake or beach...these tables can suit most any purpose and be great conversation pieces to add to your collection!<br />
Check out our smaller...down-sized booth at Old South Antique Mall in Dothan....334-794-7568.<br />
We will be adding original pieces and slipcovered items as our time allows :)<br />

But he does not sew...well, not yet, anyway. Slipcovering projects are very time consuming...and I so try to keep my prices affordable so that I can continue to have work to do. But, although I know that it means a lot to everyone to take "only a few minutes" to discuss your particular project...those few minutes always turn into at least an hour....and I do not necessarily charge for my consult time...so, I am actually loosing time from my sewing business when I am not sewing. I guess that is confusing, at best...but it makes a whole lot of sense to me...I have, at any given time, about 10 projects in line....some small, some large...but to take an hour or so away for consults gets me "off task" just enough to slow my production. It is not that I do not want to meet with anyone at all-I love people and I enjoy sharing my home and workspace-messy as it is :) But I am already running a bit behind...and then I get a little nervous when people start calling and wondering about their items...so, again, I say-thank you for understanding my business-small and simple as it is! I can always take a little time on the telephone and email for ideas, discussing your yardage requirements, fabrics, style, and any other important and not-so-important thoughts...some of my clients have even been so kind as to have forwarded photo ideas for me to consider in other projects...so, back to this wonderful daybed.<br />
This client so understood my time dilemma...and gave me time to finish my other projects....and that allowed me time to concentrate on hers...and she also allowed me a little "artistic license"...although most of this project was my client's idea. We agreed on a warm white prewashed linen for the daybed base...I was thinking a tailored style...but I am so happy that we decided on the gathered skirt...a wonderful cottage-y, romantic look for this piece...Mary Lynn had previously bought the quilt that I used for the mattress cover...I made a box style cover...with zippers on both ends....to remove this enormous mattress for washing the slip...no cording on this mattress cover...the quilt is so very thick that I felt it was unnecessary...I think the look is spectacular-cozy and relaxed! <br />
The bolster pillows....our plan was to use left-over quilt pieces around the pillow with a ruffle of linen...but, there was no left-over quilt. I am always getting requests for burlap pillows-so I thought about that fabric for the bolsters...only instead of natural burlap...we used white. This added another wonderful texture to the mix! The two Euro pillows seemed to call for my standard "Etsy" ruffled pillow style...the ones with the 1" ruffled edge around the perimeter...so there. I made each pillow with a zippered closure...so that the slips are removable...the linen covers are washable...the burlap-maybe just spot clean.<br />

Call me...or email anytime (cottageandcabin@gmail.com) to discuss your slipcover project....just remember that you must allow me to use your furniture piece for fitting purposes...I do not make "long distance" slipcovers with measurements only-I wish I could...but I will leave that to anyone else who might want to try :)<br />
We offer limited pick-up and delivery options...Thanks Mary Lynn for allowing me to work with you on your project! It was so much fun!

This client requested natural handkerchief linen -- here is the listing:<br />Classic nursery bedding in natural handkerchief linen, all prewashed and dried before construction. These softened linen nursery bedding pieces are finished with a 1" gathered ruffle edge. The four bumper pieces are made as separates...each with a zipper closure encasing the covered padded inserts. The bumpers are sewn with wide self-fabric ties that are made long enough for large bows. The crib skirt has a drop length of 17.5" including the ruffled edge.<br />I so enjoy making these sweet nursery pieces...and the softened linen is wonderful...in any color choice.<br />My other finished project is an ottoman and slipcover using medium weight chocolate brown linen. I made this slipcover in a simple structured style with a 1" gathered ruffle hem. This ottoman and slipcover will be sold together...but I would be happy to make a slipcover for your existing ottoman-for a great update! I have this ottoman and slip ready to deliver to our booth at Old South Antique Mall in Dothan...tomorrow :)Cottage and Cabinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07941967985299498984noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308651864784397712.post-91992335504426203982010-11-24T23:40:00.000-08:002010-11-25T00:52:29.717-08:00A November to Remember...I am Thankful<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQSu5ZWGu68g3LyLS7GjHdg1vR500U1lRKYAPT4JjSAekS_CK-kMnbuVed8bfX700c2QlIUSpx9202bzeZUDr-UDkKiKcs1Y1aIZ17czo5WgR2u2IkJEzGw5H9J_qBCA5X1PEf3zSNpfnR/s1600/IMG_1296+%25281000+x+750%2529.jpg"><img style="float: left;

Yea...still true...not just because of my birthday, but November is just a beautiful time of year...the colors of nature and the beautiful crisp fall days-the sun even shines differently in November-the sky is more lovely, especially in the late afternoons when I walk my dogs and talk to God. I do this each day-it is my time-and usually only about 20-30 minutes...but it is a great time to reflect and thank God for all He does for me and my family.<br />It has been one of the most unusual months for me...Bobby had hernia repair surgery at the end of October-not a big deal, we thought...after having put it off for about 7 years. So Bobby decided to get it done...we are so busy, always, so no time is good----really. But-a few weeks-and back to work sounds simple enough...<br />Bobby developed (?) this infection...so sick...just not feeling well...and the site of the incision-well...infected-not good at all...Thankfully, he is on the mend now...and I truly mean "thankfully"-it has not been easy. I have tried to work and I have worked (lots!) ...but it is not the same to work when you are a bit worried about things-and, to tell you the truth - I am not a very good nurse. So, it is great to see him improving daily and feeling more like himself. He was actually so sick during the week of my birthday...and on the very day- he was in town running errands and did not come home until late. He was "looking for something"...he told me when I called to check on him...and so, you will never guess what he found for me for my birthday-you will never guess, so I will tell you...it is precious, you see, -not expensive- as he said "it is the least of nothin'"...but to me,-my favorite gift this year. A toboggan-hunter orange! Is that a hoot? You see, it is deer hunting season here and my "walking territory" is close to other hunting property-he bought it for me to wear while walking the dogs:) And the birthday card-you should see it! A handwritten note on a folded piece of printer paper..."Happy Birthday" on the front, opening to "You are the sunshine in my life...can't wait to fix the house" "all my love"...now that is worth a million $$$$, don't you think? Just the sweet thought when he really felt lousy...and the "fix the house" part...you see, we keep planning our small house remodeling project...other things get in the way, but we keep planning. Anyway, he is the greatest, sweetest, most caring and unselfish person I know-I mean, I really wanted to give "somebody" a piece of my mind when he developed that infection...but not Bobby, he is so kind and doesn't blame anyone at all-he is so good...just had to share that with you:) For Bobby, I am thankful.<br />And, my other favorite birthday gift...my dad called and sang to me...the "Happy Birthday" song...I will tell you, that will get you every time. For daddy, I am thankful.<br />Our daughter and son-in-law and grandson are getting ready to build a house close-by on the farm...now, I can't wait for Grayson to go for walks with me...and walk to my house to see me...and walking he is-everywhere now!!! For this move, I am thankful!<br />I have had a super sales month...lots of drapery orders and nursery bedding, and pillows...thank you, God...for these orders, I am thankful!<br />Going to my parents' home tomorrow for Thanksgiving Dinner! For this, I am thankful! It is great to visit my parents and family-Always!<br />Leaving you with a few photos of some of my latest projects...more to finish before Christmas--for more projects, I am thankful!<br />May you all have a Happy Thanksgiving as well...and make wonderful memories!Cottage and Cabinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07941967985299498984noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308651864784397712.post-31592965517113769792010-09-26T23:45:00.000-07:002010-09-27T00:21:28.969-07:00A Pair of Barstools with Cottage Slips<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0gYM2YZHBOwQBbttCTITHHEuk14jH8QTN_s2Jlp67zEb_yZDPS1WhPD3XmLDIGldjiRY53oGTH1FFiEluvnxW4eScUw_enyWOblMIsZ2Y-fvNeOHBYK6R2jPP35wvbU2Y_M1g1moGnVAR/s1600/IMG_3493+%28750+x+1000%29.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0gYM2YZHBOwQBbttCTITHHEuk14jH8QTN_s2Jlp67zEb_yZDPS1WhPD3XmLDIGldjiRY53oGTH1FFiEluvnxW4eScUw_enyWOblMIsZ2Y-fvNeOHBYK6R2jPP35wvbU2Y_M1g1moGnVAR/s320/IMG_3493+%28750+x+1000%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521488860035231010" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg23d2B-03Xa0JN4ItWjKRUEK5ynHnvKpOOhpffC8bP5FLfs17octdJY3kYEDiwZSZwaGoWuShoIuP7z8f8OxhCyHoON20dmJQThwdvCIXZwPPVGeZgjSjvu_4eD9CWs1w3QadcYYkGzFRa/s1600/IMG_3488+%281000+x+750%29.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg23d2B-03Xa0JN4ItWjKRUEK5ynHnvKpOOhpffC8bP5FLfs17octdJY3kYEDiwZSZwaGoWuShoIuP7z8f8OxhCyHoON20dmJQThwdvCIXZwPPVGeZgjSjvu_4eD9CWs1w3QadcYYkGzFRa/s320/IMG_3488+%281000+x+750%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521488286349647602" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUD851rf9dhdbaciVBlofVMxTbyLuY56Uq8vpTyCLzU7U0rigByUdS6TCRKuqL0qO5oZTDEGA1Gsndji85vgCFo7JSnXUf6yiTUyZS_c6oxSZLqgYk2XfEQeCKzYx4rYJGyAsyFZKPkF3L/s1600/IMG_3487+%28750+x+1000%29.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUD851rf9dhdbaciVBlofVMxTbyLuY56Uq8vpTyCLzU7U0rigByUdS6TCRKuqL0qO5oZTDEGA1Gsndji85vgCFo7JSnXUf6yiTUyZS_c6oxSZLqgYk2XfEQeCKzYx4rYJGyAsyFZKPkF3L/s320/IMG_3487+%28750+x+1000%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521488282935330146" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7DuYXrEC7U_aJ4VxsmjYDZplOzmH_FM-EvrRRIka912bg4j8vOtCKcOHd03kEozrRv3OCD3Rt7mf_z3IdXMKEIxH7tAV0IeD0nEoSnqtkikAVauMSVnZo5mw-C310KKB_7rC4cRiYv37N/s1600/IMG_3485+%28750+x+1000%29.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7DuYXrEC7U_aJ4VxsmjYDZplOzmH_FM-EvrRRIka912bg4j8vOtCKcOHd03kEozrRv3OCD3Rt7mf_z3IdXMKEIxH7tAV0IeD0nEoSnqtkikAVauMSVnZo5mw-C310KKB_7rC4cRiYv37N/s320/IMG_3485+%28750+x+1000%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521488277056566434" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgel0OcFXi7xUz-ZnNk0cTPDiOS79GtvbD4ZzgceOs9Yz-7skbkkveSKFuTFhVx2ygBk1t_jgXmnnIqk6iiX8Ggn2WJXYlmDM-fb0SLVy7jtRP1RE38Yk9TrKQZFPX4vvRaVD3OFix1tgi3/s1600/IMG_3483+%28750+x+1000%29.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgel0OcFXi7xUz-ZnNk0cTPDiOS79GtvbD4ZzgceOs9Yz-7skbkkveSKFuTFhVx2ygBk1t_jgXmnnIqk6iiX8Ggn2WJXYlmDM-fb0SLVy7jtRP1RE38Yk9TrKQZFPX4vvRaVD3OFix1tgi3/s320/IMG_3483+%28750+x+1000%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521488274447122210" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirr1XMsWSN1h_epRLbzaQkKz069aEQt8_iBNhR0831tasdqESqOVBuQbK5-ccrRsEf3H7qNk6VOUcgxcaVU2Iz8oyyBIqOEVqRruSXggNyUrOIXuwqj_TV0k2k4vFpfuN0jicBhIkjAHvI/s1600/IMG_3491+%281000+x+750%29.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirr1XMsWSN1h_epRLbzaQkKz069aEQt8_iBNhR0831tasdqESqOVBuQbK5-ccrRsEf3H7qNk6VOUcgxcaVU2Iz8oyyBIqOEVqRruSXggNyUrOIXuwqj_TV0k2k4vFpfuN0jicBhIkjAHvI/s320/IMG_3491+%281000+x+750%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521488270196247634" border="0" /></a><br />Enough of that hiatus...what have I been doing????

And, one day...maybe I can retire to only Etsy. I started my Etsy shop when after the Christmas holiday, there was not so much work...I had been thinking about how I could ship window treatments and pillows and other specialty items, but to who?...nobody across the country knew that I could sew. I did not realize that I could just "plug-in" to Etsy...the clients are already there-looking for quality handmade items.<br />Well, it has been great! The clients are kind...but they want their slipcovers and pillows and nursery bedding as soon as possible, too! And, as I have repeated many times, I have no elves...that show up at my workshop and sew all night long. That would only be me...and, I try not to sew past midnight. I think people in general do not realize the amount of time it takes to make one ruffled pillow...much less the time it takes to make a complete nursery with ruffles.<br />You know, one order is one order, but each one order combined...throws my world into a "free for all" race to the finish.<br />I really have not had the time lately to do some of my favorite "one of a kind" pieces. I love to find those certain pieces of furniture and change them up a bit.<br />I took a little time away tonight to do just that. These barstools (probably from the early 2000's) ...whitewashed rattan type bases...that part is ok for me. But the cushions were bright plaid...and dirty bright plaid. So, I covered them in natural cotton duck. And already an improvement I think. But to add a little interest, I made burlap slips with an ivory cotton ruffled edge. I love the simpleness of the color...the texture...and the ruffled edge-its just a cute thing...<br />So... simple, cute, classic barstools...a pair of them... 16" x 16" and 29" tall. Great seating with or without ruffles.<br />OK, now tomorrow...I will finish that Etsy ottoman slip-promise!Cottage and Cabinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07941967985299498984noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308651864784397712.post-7218140440683353562010-08-24T21:22:00.000-07:002010-08-24T22:08:26.831-07:00A Trip to Say Good-Bye<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoehmTicFOI3bmn3Kl8QjR5EPrgwv7LamRjsx4j6Wka_fy1MoAZMfGoCo9ykoLJYX9rsxbjNnVIHjPZljr2PJGUMtZPEycqPYoy1DPJC_2i-3OXhWImkCXZEOLKB_y8hQl3E_gaZbjlPi3/s1600/IMG_3087+%281000+x+750%29.jpg"><img style="float: left;

I'll be away a few days...not a vacation...no, a very sad few days...<br /><br />You see, I have always loved going to Texas-my mother's family lives all over the state. But this trip is not for fun---I must say good-bye to my Grandmother...she passed away on Sunday-and, oh I will miss her. She was the grandmother who took time to help me make my first skirt...and on a summer visit when I was maybe 12, she took me to the craft store and purchased supplies so that I could decoupage and make my very own purse-you remember the wood boxes...and I think I selected Holly Hobbie prints to decoupage. And she always had cookies baked for us (my siblings and me) to ice and decorate. And on later visits, she would help us coordinate our trips so that we could go to First Monday (the Canton, Texas flea market and antique sale)...I am really overwhelmed-there is so much to remember and share. So for now, I will direct you over to my daughter's website-she has a special post there to honor my grandmother-her great-grandmother...and, no one could have said it better. Thank you, Lauren.<br /><a href="http://gracethroughourworld.com/2010/08/our-family/great-grandmother-looke/">http://gracethroughourworld.com/2010/08/our-family/great-grandmother-looke/</a><br /><br />I will leave you with a few photos of our latest projects...take care...Cottage and Cabinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07941967985299498984noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308651864784397712.post-77871528827521566302010-08-06T23:43:00.000-07:002010-08-07T00:28:37.820-07:00More White Slips<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgnT1escHE8r63UTko7Uay-kWyI1A-5x1QVqffnmXuuK066RyuJldatrKXBALVf95vM3Tv8IXl6UHmH_VvYsIvb_SdLXAfiz1M61xOxRsAAHBKN2CJNo7fWgvrVwE3M70Gyf0MoORdSBl_/s1600/IMG_2966+%281000+x+750%29.jpg"><img style="float: left;

I had already requested samples...and, it would have great texture as well as durability-14 oz as opposed to the 10 oz duck...<br />As usual practice, I prewashed and dried the fabric before beginning the slipcovers-only with this fabric, I cut smaller yardage per wash load. I normally cut 6-7 yards, but with this fabric having more bulk, I think I probably cut and washed about 4 yards/load. I also serged the ends that I cut to keep them from fraying in the washer and dryer. The hopsack washed and dried beautifully- and it does have this super texture and body...which adds a lot of interest and design to the white fabric.<br />I think the chairs and ottoman slipcovers look great in the sorority house...along with all the other new and/or restored pieces.<br />Elizabeth also ordered fabric yardage for lumbar pillows for the chairs and a large 48" square ottoman from <a href="http://www.tonicliving.com/index.asp">Tonic Living</a>. These fabrics are some of the cutest contemporary prints I have seen lately. It's always nice to learn about new fabric sites :)<br />As you can see in the before photo of the chairs-they are in perfect condition...so, how do you go from perfect to better??? And, really-I guess you don't so much...but the slipcovers in white simplify and unify the new look...and with slipcovers, you have options :)<br />Have a great weekend!!

Happy Birthday, Bobby!!!<br />Bobby has come a long way with his building skill level since way back in the day-probably the early 80's when we were out shopping and I wanted to buy a shelf-you know the one-about 3 feet long, brown stain, country style with a couple of pegs and I think a heart cutout....I am sure it had a heart cut-out...all shelves of that day had heart cut-outs :)<br />Anyway, I wanted to buy this beautiful shelf...and Bobby said, "I can make that." So, as they say, the rest is history. I had no idea he could build things-nor did he, probably. But, being a farmer-he had to work on and fix most things himself...so, I guess he sort-of taught himself building skills by copying :) or shall we say "reproducing" things we found or bought.<br />Bobby made shelves, cabinets, Christmas ornaments, wood boxes, and a host of all sorts of other things that anyone might want...those were the craft show days...did I mention Bobby was a farmer??? Well, those farming days were a little (or alot) tough. Bobby and I both quickly learned that maybe his building skills would pay better than farming.<br />Bobby's craft show and cabinet building skills turned into home repair and remodeling skills as he ventured into some larger projects. He really is amazingly talented...with a unique style sense! I am very proud of all his accomplishments...I think maybe he is, too,...but you would never know because of his humble, quiet personality. But if you have an idea and want a unique, artsy piece of furniture...just ask him...but make sure he knows you are serious---just like the day we met Elizabeth and Stephanie at the Kappa Delta Sorority House at Troy University...they were really busy making decisions...and Bobby kept asking me, "am I supposed to be here?"-I think he sort of felt out of place...away from his comfort zone of "the barn".<br />Anyway, they got around to mentioning a couple of items they had in mind for the sorority house...and thought Bobby would be able to create just the pieces. And, I think he did just that...<br />Bobby has built several different benches, but he wanted these to really "show up"...and they do. But I am most thrilled with the coffee table they requested...and I hope to see Bobby build some other pieces similar in style (well, I PLAN to see Bobby build some other pieces similar in style :)<br />Thank you, Elizabeth and Stephanie, for calling us...<br />Have a great weekend!!! <br />Happy, Happy Birthday Bobby! I LOVE YOU!!! :)Cottage and Cabinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07941967985299498984noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308651864784397712.post-15280435490665155982010-07-21T08:44:00.000-07:002010-07-21T09:13:48.711-07:00And What About This Charming Natural Nursery???<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikB73661UwomBE43suzkHIjE-WMQhL35UM-DuRtL4Yf7pAIeof64oXi109SmiL8nklmk0coHCx5h70MGdyLS0phi45wdN5GHsKBGYsBucPH22V8-GqnYt_tkilbt7zygr_K10LK_1VjxH-/s1600/IMG_2700+%281000+x+750%29.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikB73661UwomBE43suzkHIjE-WMQhL35UM-DuRtL4Yf7pAIeof64oXi109SmiL8nklmk0coHCx5h70MGdyLS0phi45wdN5GHsKBGYsBucPH22V8-GqnYt_tkilbt7zygr_K10LK_1VjxH-/s320/IMG_2700+%281000+x+750%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496390704128705106" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg4iMamsupAMMnYyUXvw0MPCDWis6n5cJTqZCSzlgTtARCcP9s5ju8NMgu0Uf-gUSHj30xsFsnySXfYUSMGguIhdweiPto8lgclKXu2sfT7MlW80_LD4r5H0sMeJLoewOYNBFgMPBdZgtr/s1600/IMG_2731+%281000+x+750%29.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg4iMamsupAMMnYyUXvw0MPCDWis6n5cJTqZCSzlgTtARCcP9s5ju8NMgu0Uf-gUSHj30xsFsnySXfYUSMGguIhdweiPto8lgclKXu2sfT7MlW80_LD4r5H0sMeJLoewOYNBFgMPBdZgtr/s320/IMG_2731+%281000+x+750%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496390699196685490" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAkHWlXZHF6CElivxogrknUN3Be40ky3nKcTWoYWpCZttSEoUhmXkZkbFWZ_QI-jNbc2qTuixh-eaeM4Ae04BqCyjHRH0TFQMT46to-hhUptz26YwCkjzNpy5N3Ts_h_ASddNMrP2Hxmw6/s1600/IMG_2736+%281000+x+750%29.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAkHWlXZHF6CElivxogrknUN3Be40ky3nKcTWoYWpCZttSEoUhmXkZkbFWZ_QI-jNbc2qTuixh-eaeM4Ae04BqCyjHRH0TFQMT46to-hhUptz26YwCkjzNpy5N3Ts_h_ASddNMrP2Hxmw6/s320/IMG_2736+%281000+x+750%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496390697866309298" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKEMzBbv_4NxuTen-VWtbSd6kDKnQm_u6K2SeXkXH5u2hDYSqVdSfxgZYO3-8HsMt3o_WhTkbeCh8t33HL-yhyphenhyphenX4ijDZd4hIuJloNomnBtRAkA1V9OEiUwJeqDDsQ-v567BvO52XF_yipC/s1600/IMG_2735+%281000+x+750%29.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKEMzBbv_4NxuTen-VWtbSd6kDKnQm_u6K2SeXkXH5u2hDYSqVdSfxgZYO3-8HsMt3o_WhTkbeCh8t33HL-yhyphenhyphenX4ijDZd4hIuJloNomnBtRAkA1V9OEiUwJeqDDsQ-v567BvO52XF_yipC/s320/IMG_2735+%281000+x+750%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496390693729297170" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP0ciTWYi8bF1dtTEX6KFnCHpbvtBr0WI_HkbXie5wRSrwrJrdBfuTH-Sj9tGgwC1nW2-MtJyaEZHnEDdOal6FiCW8HfaNAVZE9kcA8bdonEEwY8ZheNmVxIR9_IYAW4RWfAB9u9gpaZRO/s1600/IMG_2705+%281000+x+750%29.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP0ciTWYi8bF1dtTEX6KFnCHpbvtBr0WI_HkbXie5wRSrwrJrdBfuTH-Sj9tGgwC1nW2-MtJyaEZHnEDdOal6FiCW8HfaNAVZE9kcA8bdonEEwY8ZheNmVxIR9_IYAW4RWfAB9u9gpaZRO/s320/IMG_2705+%281000+x+750%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496390683123687218" border="0" /></a><br />Oh, my heart! Something about this crib bedding in natural lightweight softenend linen...so understated and simple. Just the detail of the ruffles to give it a little personality...shown here on my "workshop" cottage style crib, but wouldn't it look great on any baby bed out there??!!<br />And maybe even add a cording in ballet pink or pastel blue...for just a hint of color.<br />The bumper is made of four separate pieces with simple one inch ties-each piece of the bumper made with a zipper closure and wrapped poly insert that is removable for laundering.<br />The crib skirt measures 21 inches including the one inch ruffled hem.<br />The 12 x 16 inch pillow features a one inch ruffled edge and zipper closure to enclose the polyester pillow form.<br />Other nursery items available...crib coverlet, window treatments-roman shades or panels,...and other options :)<br />Have a great day!Cottage and Cabinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07941967985299498984noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308651864784397712.post-88884764079923729752010-07-20T22:45:00.000-07:002010-07-20T23:22:39.858-07:00Slipping in a Wingback-Cottage Style<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpnwKwX9pxlc7QBLP1kM4Yy50xq8ldpKGFnbuooU3AHBoHxBHD50G-4Od-gsTINhCzi0wJjPYOWnNl8ZzND17kWG2H9rE-teYzuQYv62EE6lwKk9CMZogwmpR8M0xlrl9_hCd29ebGFU9H/s1600/IMG_2816+%28750+x+1000%29.jpg"><img style="float: left;

Who bought it all?????? I have a couple of chairs and an ottoman coming up for the Kappa Delta house in Troy-----meanwhile, back at the workshop---I had a call to slipcover a wingback. So, why not-I have time to "slip" :) it in.<br />And, was I ever surprised to see the fabric....a cute cottage-y floral matelasse. Now, I have enjoyed all the white and natural lately-but this sweet cottage style fabric was a welcome change. I think I will maybe change my fees to include "a list of your favorite fabric shops"...I would love to know where Kathy bought this fabric. Matelasse is such a great fabric-a little more difficult to work with when adding cording and sewing through multiple layers...but the texture and the quilted effect is worth it.<br />Kathy requested a gathered skirt...and, I hope she was thinking a short, gathered skirt...adorable, I think :)<br /><br />Plans to wash some white cotton duck in the next couple of days and start the slipcovers for the Kappa Delta chairs and ottoman.<br /><br />Coming soon...natural and cream linen ruffled ottoman slipcovers...Cottage and Cabinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07941967985299498984noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308651864784397712.post-24829993353464723722010-07-15T21:00:00.000-07:002010-07-15T23:07:50.213-07:00Preparing the Nursery for Master John Rivers Oliver<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVDGI0RJRBrKLT-ckAlPAhwmMs1OdCXkzCTRtE5xlVfZTsk_Ah4secPuYt4VIVkrjw12K8DM0pld7dOFWVPMeSqrW9g5_ycoYU3IXVhfIwVrzxIlc9RFICqdwF2zYACYOYjij-YHwLvd_7/s1600/IMG_2630+%28750+x+1000%29.jpg"><img style="float: left;

It is to believe in love, to be so little that the elves can reach to whisper in your ear; to turn pumpkins into coaches...And nothing into everything. For each child has its fairy godmother in its soul." This small excerpt from a poem by Francis Thompson, an English poet...is my favorite. It truly speaks the sweetness of children-the innocence, the wonder, the simpleness of their spirit. I have had the honor to be inducted into the "grandmother" society...and, I will admit, there is nothing quite so grand!<br />And, now...it is time to share this society with my sweet sister-in-law, Vicki...well, almost time.<br />Preparations are underway now for the new nursery. We are super excited that the parents-to-be, Beth and Bryan, have moved a little closer to home-that part makes everybody happier, really :)<br />Bobby and I made a visit and nursery bedding delivery to their new home in Montgomery just yesterday. You know, there is always something special about custom nursery bedding...first of all, mom-to-be always loves the design since she designed it herself...and, when you place it in the new crib... the fabrics and colors add a completeness to the space.<br />Beth and Bryan are still adding pieces to the nursery...the rocker and ottoman are being reupholstered...and I think the hunt is on for a dresser...and some artwork.<br />But for now, anyway, the nursery is precious in its soft grey-blue paint color and window treatments made by "Sister". Hey, I want to know-can this be your "grandmother name"???<br />And, let me tell you-the window treatments are wonderful-full floor length panels hung from rings showcasing the main print -a nursery rhyme toile "Over the Moon"- with a band of seersucker sewn down the lead edges. Details of the blue and white seersucker bows are placed at the top of the panels at the rings. The panels are interlined with a blackout lining-great idea for baby's naptime- and finished with drapery lining. Absolutely perfect, Vicki!!<br />The crib, a beautiful iron baby bed in bronze, is the focal point...what a beauty! Beth has planned some artwork to hang over the crib-maybe she will send me photos...<br />One other great find is the tiny chest of drawers-to hold all the tiny clothes for baby.<br />Now, back to the crib...I had the honor of making the crib bumper and bedskirt. Beth requested a pillow style bumper with a darling mixture of cottage style nursery fabrics. The inside of the bumper features the nursery rhyme toile, the outside is a blue diamond matelasse, a soft green cotton was chosen for the cording and the ties are made with the blue and white seersucker stripe.<br />The gathered floor length bedskirt in the blue and white seersucker finishes the bedding, except for the coverlet. It is being quilted and should arrive soon.<br />I love your nursery, Beth and Bryan...and we are all so excited and look forward to the arrival of this new baby. Much Love to you-Beth, Bryan and John Rivers!!!

Be careful what you wish for, but I will say most importantly, "Thank you, God!".<br />We are continuously trying to find a new twist to change up some of our favorite pieces-and, I could not wait to take this one to our booth at Old South Antique Mall yesterday....but, we had a call from someone local, and when I mentioned we were busily getting ready to go to Dothan to measure a home for roman shades and other things, she immediately asked, "are you taking anything to the antique store?" I answered, hesitantly-(am I crazy?)-"well, yes...we have a few things to carry to our booth..."<br />Well, the story goes on that she wanted to come here immediately (before we left) to see "the new bench"...and, although I told her we would make her another one similar -I never know if we can do 2 things exactly the same-no promises in that area :) - she insisted that she would buy the bench, and a couple of other smaller pieces right then and there...and, as much as I appreciated the sale, I really did want to take that newest project to display at <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.oldsouthantiques.blogspot.com">Old South Antique Mall</a>.<br />We really have not had time to go on our favorite "day jaunts" to find some new items to add to the mix in our booth...but, I am sure things will settle down....but what do you wish for? A sort of nice problem, I'll say...<br />At least, I did take a few photos of my favorite piece of all time (to date) to share with you. Maybe you have some existing pieces that we could help you "change up" ...let us know, but don't call before 9, please...we sometimes work really, really, really late...and, these 6 am phone calls- well, not so good. Thanks for understanding!!! I can't believe I am actually writing about that, but it happens, and I know that we should be up at 6am, and maybe once in a while we are--but I try to handle my emails and home stuff first thing...and, out to the shop maybe by 9ish...I guess when you work from home, it's kind of whatever...there is no escaping it! Again, nice problem...sometimes :)<br />OK----thanks to everyone for accepting us for our eccentricities, oddities, and...our artsy lifestyle.

The chairs are both great pieces, really...but totally different styles. It is amazing to see how fabric can totally change furniture.<br />Each chair has its own unique details-arm style, legs and feet, and seat cushion. With only their "wings" to unite the two-Jane left the rest to the fabric. And, the white cotton duck definitely unified and completed the pair. Jane plans to paint the legs and feet....I don't know if I could bear to add paint to those wonderful old dark ball and claw feet-I so love really old and worn, timeless antique pieces-untouched and left in their original state. But to each his own...I know people have different design tastes-and I accept that...and, after all, I am no decorator--just a seamstress really with a few artsy ideas of my own :)<br />But taking a couple of old chairs and creating this "pair" of wingbacks was a good idea...<br />Have a great and busy week!!! Hope you accomplish lots :)Cottage and Cabinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07941967985299498984noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308651864784397712.post-32775062783548961952010-07-03T08:16:00.000-07:002010-07-03T08:57:26.129-07:00A New Bench with Personality<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzqAGVvKPr_2XWquDc5m0lI2trgc5oIHRhDGvct5CLtBu_JEPhDJoqcCFDZO7RsKM3VWNdxKi9QY-ciA4ZqUpDm60NrqGVolvw5MI22cfBXFhm8Zw81blM0FLypWQMMxzwNzRNIYGAG6ZQ/s1600/IMG_2504+%281000+x+750%29.jpg"><img style="float: left;

This one sort of took on a <a href="http://www.sundancecatalog.com/category/home+decor+catalog/living+room+furniture.do?nType=2">Sundance</a> look-and it is our "go to" look....a little rustic and primitive, but it would mix in most any space. It has loads of personality-and the neutral color and fabrics allow that "mix-it -in" style to work for most anyone.<br />The bench is somewhat oversized...and with the great chunky spindle legs and distressed cream finish, it would suit as a coffee table-add your tray to the top if you wish. With or without the prewashed muslin slipcover, this piece adds a charm to the utilitarian bench.<br />We added a four inch upholstered foam cushion to the top-covered in a rustic natural burlap-to add a good look and texture. I love these versatile pieces-so many uses- and practical furniture with good looks, too :)Cottage and Cabinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07941967985299498984noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308651864784397712.post-78464467601855349772010-07-03T07:15:00.000-07:002010-07-03T08:14:58.297-07:00Hooray for the Red, White, and Blue<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw-601COFInO6J2fHhH15bfFw8jCxpg0qaZy9nMhzS4pUzsWEF5Wd0Y_Rhe905XGSBqmUWnFoyGp4pyWb0ZPKKn9dtlmhGfdIv_5xEdsJls15icVPyEAzPRs9QvZbi4b7u5Rq1jzskDJ2G/s1600/IMG_2516+%28750+x+1000%29.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw-601COFInO6J2fHhH15bfFw8jCxpg0qaZy9nMhzS4pUzsWEF5Wd0Y_Rhe905XGSBqmUWnFoyGp4pyWb0ZPKKn9dtlmhGfdIv_5xEdsJls15icVPyEAzPRs9QvZbi4b7u5Rq1jzskDJ2G/s320/IMG_2516+%28750+x+1000%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489698277187763522" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoY2bA5QrwBLI3GAZtwn0tlh9xcoTcgV4PNQrNuVYmo210XpbAoWWr9DuXW3Lr0o3NKDMvbY0OG1d-rd_h0_xr-cNJQv05auMzys4Yksjsi-iPNsMzFbLmKqedWra5c8fWwAZcnp1LoXhN/s1600/IMG_2515+%28750+x+1000%29.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoY2bA5QrwBLI3GAZtwn0tlh9xcoTcgV4PNQrNuVYmo210XpbAoWWr9DuXW3Lr0o3NKDMvbY0OG1d-rd_h0_xr-cNJQv05auMzys4Yksjsi-iPNsMzFbLmKqedWra5c8fWwAZcnp1LoXhN/s320/IMG_2515+%28750+x+1000%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489698267162356322" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGZS5S_39FQhA7PQm4GX9Zd2oudYKgVDOZMfETQ58JdepOPHnPAmK5ttDVstPZN3sDklwnPOgtUQHL3jNxTMpWa92l66X1AeKvASG0Iz1SQqFR7ReIAPBhpDbdp6zICvt81qKuK53tqai2/s1600/IMG_2514+%28750+x+1000%29.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGZS5S_39FQhA7PQm4GX9Zd2oudYKgVDOZMfETQ58JdepOPHnPAmK5ttDVstPZN3sDklwnPOgtUQHL3jNxTMpWa92l66X1AeKvASG0Iz1SQqFR7ReIAPBhpDbdp6zICvt81qKuK53tqai2/s320/IMG_2514+%28750+x+1000%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489698254823215938" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAQV3M2bEQ7dDK_NZCjOhJOoXW1UyXJC64lQVyQ2trljyCNH6O7daHFyCuSt2TEn-jNTtKRzohI7ikHrEr6AP9DN15AdyHBbBPXYpYdWT-5qTeHeOpM1nXBqwjmZOAYtgPMUbz3cLu4m_G/s1600/IMG_2512+%281000+x+750%29.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAQV3M2bEQ7dDK_NZCjOhJOoXW1UyXJC64lQVyQ2trljyCNH6O7daHFyCuSt2TEn-jNTtKRzohI7ikHrEr6AP9DN15AdyHBbBPXYpYdWT-5qTeHeOpM1nXBqwjmZOAYtgPMUbz3cLu4m_G/s320/IMG_2512+%281000+x+750%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489698254095277154" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1Q4qbPMOGQCC0jbLycQZd6BtEmVfSAohE9BSIN40nw8ncNRAXcfAD2g2eKQ-V3XEAIwDu7Ju6dmjSZaggVNybkaiQFHlGUyRIxq0RChXhihRmcaOzGen6NlnBbcyOiAvt8QiZm7lvDFZ7/s1600/IMG_2513+%28750+x+1000%29.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1Q4qbPMOGQCC0jbLycQZd6BtEmVfSAohE9BSIN40nw8ncNRAXcfAD2g2eKQ-V3XEAIwDu7Ju6dmjSZaggVNybkaiQFHlGUyRIxq0RChXhihRmcaOzGen6NlnBbcyOiAvt8QiZm7lvDFZ7/s320/IMG_2513+%28750+x+1000%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489698249027096034" border="0" /></a><br />I took a little break from my normal home decor projects to make a couple of cute john john's for my sweet grandson. Grayson is almost one year old-I can't believe it!! He is crawling everywhere, up and down steps, included...with a little coaching from his Poppa, Bobby :)<br />I love these little outfits on baby boys-classic little rompers...great for summertime and picnics, get-togethers and a parade!!!<br />There are lots of variations, but I love the classic ones with a little elastic added to the legs. I enlisted the help of my daughter, Lauren, to cut out the fabric for Grayson's little suits. She did a great job and saved me some time in the mix. As a matter of fact, she cut out enough fabric for about 7 outfits. I put together a couple the other night...the red plaid should work for the 4th of July parade...all Grayson needs now is a little flag to wave :)<br />Happy 4th of July to you all...here's to the RED, WHITE AND BLUE!!!!! Enjoy your picnics and get-togethers, fireworks and parades!Cottage and Cabinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07941967985299498984noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308651864784397712.post-90723584935644774162010-06-22T20:55:00.000-07:002010-06-22T21:28:16.914-07:00A Pop of Color for Summer<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR88HyXohj3vS-G8sPa5ZHAg4XOhmVLnz7w8lvlHb7Wkr-OyFCryFHJ_dniPti-SPlK7dsUl9H1G96-t_8xFdB2duIfzE__PO-_zUn4SYdr_KxTGlqVzwtDfbjWdU1-9-hb-S7izvG_iMD/s1600/IMG_2462+%28750+x+1000%29.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR88HyXohj3vS-G8sPa5ZHAg4XOhmVLnz7w8lvlHb7Wkr-OyFCryFHJ_dniPti-SPlK7dsUl9H1G96-t_8xFdB2duIfzE__PO-_zUn4SYdr_KxTGlqVzwtDfbjWdU1-9-hb-S7izvG_iMD/s320/IMG_2462+%28750+x+1000%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485820182466012850" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixuABgkViJlq8ks3GvAR9yb7ZmSto1BP3rwOZT4TIE8hs1VEBFFbwjRQNtVth0BSQq-uqIroYEF9QIoaueIUbuuO1AuCyvrzZn5La9i2ZsImj8yVCQiFrod5zHZ3RZRFemg5DCOJH7gv8t/s1600/IMG_2454+%28750+x+1000%29.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixuABgkViJlq8ks3GvAR9yb7ZmSto1BP3rwOZT4TIE8hs1VEBFFbwjRQNtVth0BSQq-uqIroYEF9QIoaueIUbuuO1AuCyvrzZn5La9i2ZsImj8yVCQiFrod5zHZ3RZRFemg5DCOJH7gv8t/s320/IMG_2454+%28750+x+1000%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485820181702403570" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2sDpauTVfyecgZindWLTyZXPrc2fw7Pk76do-0uNkYTobm_iwoxWuSP2V03HOcjwLN-VshI_FWNXQJRwYeEkPtympHnpIruHHYwaYRjguUO7Ntx10Pl1AqEFNm9hiI1UlyWA45mCJiM3B/s1600/IMG_2455+%281000+x+750%29.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2sDpauTVfyecgZindWLTyZXPrc2fw7Pk76do-0uNkYTobm_iwoxWuSP2V03HOcjwLN-VshI_FWNXQJRwYeEkPtympHnpIruHHYwaYRjguUO7Ntx10Pl1AqEFNm9hiI1UlyWA45mCJiM3B/s320/IMG_2455+%281000+x+750%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485820175604807474" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGvEadxLPU104mUEFiNxLTXeJZuuBGDx56KK2NPTMBQsnGYOWlSgWdHLrsV1F4SBIuaVdVdEaLnLjQ6QzliG7dj4BvQMbOUB4AY8o2GB40bOrmrDoJSrWahdliKXCCvE_aZh43Hjl71yjB/s1600/IMG_2463+%281000+x+750%29.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGvEadxLPU104mUEFiNxLTXeJZuuBGDx56KK2NPTMBQsnGYOWlSgWdHLrsV1F4SBIuaVdVdEaLnLjQ6QzliG7dj4BvQMbOUB4AY8o2GB40bOrmrDoJSrWahdliKXCCvE_aZh43Hjl71yjB/s320/IMG_2463+%281000+x+750%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485820168971230066" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd4sXEpxeY_h5f1JUWVhPZxX5VSgXunjBuLl-jBeIh6c2txmwORXSm3-EVrgEFtKmI8umXyuFtk5zbVTGrWc-iZQ0sDYQC3EhsgSfNIOma5O1NrewaMglB0n_GI-0FpjxqPYuXg7mFMpg3/s1600/IMG_2459+%281000+x+750%29.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd4sXEpxeY_h5f1JUWVhPZxX5VSgXunjBuLl-jBeIh6c2txmwORXSm3-EVrgEFtKmI8umXyuFtk5zbVTGrWc-iZQ0sDYQC3EhsgSfNIOma5O1NrewaMglB0n_GI-0FpjxqPYuXg7mFMpg3/s320/IMG_2459+%281000+x+750%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485820159856771138" border="0" /></a><br />This pine hutch was a popular craft show and country craftsman furniture item from the 90's...let me remind you-the really, really dark stained pine pieces :)<br />Bobby built similar things then, but he found this one at a local thrift store in all it's glory-missing a door. The piece is quite the storage cabinet (standing at over 5 feet tall and about 4 feet wide)-with all the drawers and shelves...and, how cute would a basket be in the open bin.<br />A great distressed sunflower yellow with a brown glaze added lots of cheer and personality to this dark hutch. Bobby re-used the original knobs and handles, although they could be easily updated as well.<br />Perfect in a kitchen or breakfast room...or brighten your daily routine by placing this piece in the mudroom for extra storage and an organization area as a drop off for mail, pet treats and leashes, schoolbooks...and all your everyday "stuff".Cottage and Cabinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07941967985299498984noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308651864784397712.post-21165977408696314752010-06-16T00:24:00.000-07:002010-06-16T00:53:20.949-07:00Collaborating...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjohdRUmqm-3d4knPwLoawU1WG9S1twFm5IOv3f3gEAYJ4XzisL2UjJw79c5G189U2UlCfyVSH0FKgoGR-1Nh0HwY8HyouEV8f_PYs6Hv15iPl6SkmNZxAYbe0LLhzHNe2EEbGkkrOjW5is/s1600/IMG_2430+%28750+x+1000%29.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjohdRUmqm-3d4knPwLoawU1WG9S1twFm5IOv3f3gEAYJ4XzisL2UjJw79c5G189U2UlCfyVSH0FKgoGR-1Nh0HwY8HyouEV8f_PYs6Hv15iPl6SkmNZxAYbe0LLhzHNe2EEbGkkrOjW5is/s320/IMG_2430+%28750+x+1000%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483275173502497410" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHtYs_2D0axnCe3Sx-fm36wBgkLfpYm6TizOIBupAoJZFl1xACVrw3xPRFxsDglPzBNYlMzi-QxnLz61Gvg8keqwRZLz4YzODrxSFFwgGOR6KTykTK-NY2iNCr3egwH4ORQiPOUlKRW5Qg/s1600/IMG_2436+%28750+x+1000%29.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHtYs_2D0axnCe3Sx-fm36wBgkLfpYm6TizOIBupAoJZFl1xACVrw3xPRFxsDglPzBNYlMzi-QxnLz61Gvg8keqwRZLz4YzODrxSFFwgGOR6KTykTK-NY2iNCr3egwH4ORQiPOUlKRW5Qg/s320/IMG_2436+%28750+x+1000%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483275162491027746" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBr5ePJ1YF1HD4CiPM8ngBG7M6Gz669DGRnul2Lnf-aocTxWYEi9Akb4iYb2BuVGarWZZ73Sv58cDChnqJpZ-Cw_BWa56Sk1P5x3IP43tIC4cN-PAlweBZ3yb7i56wCgxURHiCGZvBMQ1R/s1600/IMG_2434+%28750+x+1000%29.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBr5ePJ1YF1HD4CiPM8ngBG7M6Gz669DGRnul2Lnf-aocTxWYEi9Akb4iYb2BuVGarWZZ73Sv58cDChnqJpZ-Cw_BWa56Sk1P5x3IP43tIC4cN-PAlweBZ3yb7i56wCgxURHiCGZvBMQ1R/s320/IMG_2434+%28750+x+1000%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483275152223251794" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBmaTVmleQWQ_AOm7zkenC4tn6IPqbdKzY3I8vz6LW2vOaf1pY8wQ3rSS38a1hLttUkhghnB75DicBW8e4eOdXcZLomTXtVE0LF4PeIOU4T2gWLMcB2UmEgDBlEXaEuKGvwQnREk7n6uiw/s1600/IMG_2443+%28750+x+1000%29.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBmaTVmleQWQ_AOm7zkenC4tn6IPqbdKzY3I8vz6LW2vOaf1pY8wQ3rSS38a1hLttUkhghnB75DicBW8e4eOdXcZLomTXtVE0LF4PeIOU4T2gWLMcB2UmEgDBlEXaEuKGvwQnREk7n6uiw/s320/IMG_2443+%28750+x+1000%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483275149311102962" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVkr6Y7FrN2JWCQsv9da__dN61suK6_y4d4OCvwAR6UtbKWIDw3pspsERWP5ZtT_K4vRe-g09oHO1SUmz49hWhlBVzzKYC_1ZCY3Tb6bMghPKA-zmjIvu2GpjhkGbPMXnSFt17xpH4IaTP/s1600/IMG_2431+%281000+x+750%29.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVkr6Y7FrN2JWCQsv9da__dN61suK6_y4d4OCvwAR6UtbKWIDw3pspsERWP5ZtT_K4vRe-g09oHO1SUmz49hWhlBVzzKYC_1ZCY3Tb6bMghPKA-zmjIvu2GpjhkGbPMXnSFt17xpH4IaTP/s320/IMG_2431+%281000+x+750%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483275139570857490" border="0" /></a><br />Troy Antiques has added a new area in "the vault"...anything and everything baby and child...nursery, playroom, and kid's room furniture, bedding (by order at the moment), pillows, toys...and all other sorts of accessories-both vintage and re-purposed. Stop by when you can and check out the latest!<br />Gail (aka <a href="http://www.misshetties.blogspot.com/">Miss Hettie's</a>) found this great small platform style rocker. She painted it white and distressed it a little-and brought it to me for the fabrics. And what exactly do you do? Boy, girl, pastels, brights???? How do you know what someone will like? So, we opted for white-a cotton duck gathered skirt that ties onto the base under the seat cushion. The seat and back cushions are covered on one side in white duck and the other-an old white cotton bedspread which gives a super vintage appeal and adds great texture to the all white piece.<br />But I just had to add a little color, so I decided on a little 14" ruffled pillow in a sweet pink cotton rose stripe print. The pillow, I decided, could be easily changed for a different look.<br />This sweet chair would make a charming accent not only in a nursery, but in almost any cottage-y setting.<br />Special orders for nursery items welcome!Cottage and Cabinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07941967985299498984noreply@blogger.com1
