Hi there, it's been a while hasn't it....you may have guessed that l've been struggling a bit with my blog of late....many reasons, however l do want to persist through these not so easy times....l really enjoy being part of the land of blogs, it's such a creative and inspiring place.... somewhere too l can record this journey and hopefully be somewhat inspirational along the way.
l purchased some new living room drapes a few weeks ago and though l would've loved roller blinds and sheers.....for me they're just not a practical option during our chilly Winter's, being that the windows make up an entire wall of this room.... so heavy duty drapes it is.....l was happy to get 5 sets alike, in a light neutral. l made some tie backs to hold them away from the windows to allow in as much light as possible.
Each tie back was sewn from hessian (burlap) and then decorated with tulle and vintage millinery flowers....all in varying shades of white.
l fell a little bit in love with this cane table which was bought at a country garage sale, even though it's headed for my stall at the Mill Market. My guess would be that it's 70's. The previous owner said it came from Bali with a matching side table, couch and two chairs... sadly none of which were for sale.
Of course this fabulous wedding dress had to come home with me.....the gorgeous lace and pearl button detail are totally my thing.
A new/old Buddha, what a face....with "peace" mother of pearl earrings. 
(Adult) son and l were walking yesterday and these gorgeous hydrangeas were growing through the fence, spewing out onto the footpath, it was a huge bush.....so come on, who wouldn't......well l picked a couple of blooms much to son's horror....l had to laugh at him taking off up the road like l'd kidnapped the Queens' corgis....and it took some convincing to get him to walk with me again....struth... aren't we the one's meant to worry about them embarrassing us:-)
Anyway hope you enjoy the pics of my ill gotten gains...haha.
That's it for now. Hope your life's going well whatever you're up to....
Til next time,
Bron.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much Karen, and it was lovely to hear that you liked the tiebacks. Yes it's hard to always be inspired to post when life happens and before you know it days, then weeks are gone and you have no photos to post....

Thanks heaps for stopping by Shel....l love that you loved the hydrangea pics, they're my faves as well and made my thievery all worthwhile haha....oh and glad you liked the tiebacks too....not clever, just me messing round instead of doing something important:-))
ReplyDeleteWhat I found most attractive with your new drapes was the way you made the ties for them, and they really show your style. They go so well with the lacy look of the wedding dress, and each item builds on the other. The living room looks like a piece of art, and the coffee table with the Buddha finishes it perfectly.
