100 Year Old Linen And Vintage Hearts

Hi all,

Remember that piece of vintage Irish monogrammed linen I was trying to do something with but was too scared to ruin?

Well I did make something with it...a filled heart pillow.

Here it is above with some others I have made up for My Store.

I have teamed it with some beautiful Belgian linen which is 100 years old!

It is stunning and there is not a blemish on it. Figured they would be happy together. The back of it is natural and blue ticking. That part is not vintage, but I love it just the same =0)

The other filled hearts for The Store have also been made with this gorgeous linen. Some with other vintage fabrics, and some with newer pieces.

This is a part of one of the bigger pillows which measure 35cm x 35cm (14" x 14"). So not tiny.
There are 3 sizes in all. The largest which I mentioned above.

The medium size which is 24cm x 24cm (10" x 10"),

and the smaller size which is 19cm x 19cm (7 1/2" x 7 1/2").

They all have a piece of the 100 year old Belgian linen in them and some have vintage ticking, vintage floral and I have also used fabric from French General and some modern quilting florals which have that older style pattern to them, like the floral to the left of this photo.

I would love to know what you think =0)

Thanks for the 'get up and go'...

Have you ever had a day where you have no 'get up and go'?
Today is one of those days. I have loads of things to do, but just can't be bothered...until I seen this home in one of my favourite places in NSW...the Southern Highlands. This home is filled with things I love. Take the outside for example - box hedges, neutrals with white, French doors, Lavender...
The inside also sports my favourites - natural matting, floorboards, ticking, the glass ball lamp, squishy sofas and loads of cushions to sink into. The colour of the walls is very similar to our own home. This photo has me thinking that now I really want to cover our other sofa in blue and white ticking...in reverse though. What do you think??

Th kitchen is just a s beautiful. Tolix stools, roman blinds- which pick up the ticking on the sofa, wooden blinds, Hydrangeas, green apples in a white bowl. I could have shown you more as the list goes on, but you will have to buy a copy of Home Beautiful and see for yourself!
...off to decorate now!

...this gorgeously stunning bench. Why? Stuffed feather pad covered in a faded ticking, hint of French style and loads of white...that's why!robin stubbert
...and this beautiful blue and white linen and the cute little bowls. They all fit perfectly into this 'clean, fresh and unfussy' thing I have going on, and it also has a little Parisian chic there too. Love it all.
