FOR THE LOVE OF JUNK

SOME WOMEN DREAM OF BEAUTIFUL HOMES AND PERFECTION. SOME DREAM OF THE DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH, OUTCAST ITEMS, THE TATTERED, THE CRAZED, THE RUSTED AND SOMETIMES DISCARDED TREASURES. IM A MEMBER OF THE SECOND GROUP. I'M A JUNKER FOR LIFE!

Today I'm loving...


My new bedding. All white, crisp white. It took me a couple of hours to iron the shams and comforter. I like the no wrinkle look, call me stuffy. I also like a very fitted fit on my slipcovered pieces. I know...but you got to go with what you like most. Now the count starts: How long do the white linen will stay white? Don't know,  husband+ puppy dog= trouble in Whiteland.

Ok, linen people of the world, please don't kill me!. I cut up this beautiful tablecloth. 32 panes of beautiful embroidery and tatting yumminess so I can make little curtains.

First try, straight, me no liked it as much.
Gathered at the top, me like it better, no total bliss, just ok.

That brown pillow,  it got 9 beautiful roses. I love a bed full of pillows and I need some more.

             Just cute, on top a shelf, again like, no bliss.
On another note, today I undressed Peter in order to clothed Paul. Ok, meaning; I needed stuff for my window Downtown. I went shopping in my store.The things actually look much better in the window.
 So sorry about the glare. Photographers of blogland, how do you take care of the glare when you shoot a window?
It is so cute in there now. Love the oars and the aqua glass jar.


Not possible to get a good shot from the inside because of the position of the pieces. I could not believe all the stuff I got in there with even more coming for trade days weekend. Call me a busy body, I'm off to do more...I'm linking to Faded Charm for White Wednesday. Blessings, Marta.
