DAY 2 of 7 Days of Pillows!!

Hello again everyone!! I have another great pillow for you all today. This pillow cover has a modern and graphic feel to it. I love the black and white combination and the black back makes the print stand out that much more. I think it's great!! The pillow has a zipper closure that runs along the bottom edge. The zipper is sewn in under a flap so it is hidden from the eye. This pillow is currently available in 18 inch by 18 in, but I love to work with custom sizes and could make what ever would suit your needs. What do you think of this pillow?

Don't forget to visit my etsy shop to see all of the pillows available.

7 Days of Pillows!! DAY 1

Hello Everyone!

I've been busy finding new fabric and creating wonderful new pillow covers for my Etsy shop. I'm so excited to share them with you so I've decided to do 7 Days of Pillows. A new pillow everyday that is available now on my Etsy shop. I hope you like the new playful, modern, traditional and beautiful new pillow covers.

Today's pillow is the Pink and White Chevron print pillow cover. It's available in my shop right now in 16x16. If you are interested in the pattern, but need a different size I would be more than happy to create a custom listing for you and make the size you need. I created this fabric on Spoonflower and it is also available for purchase in 9 different types of fabric. The pillow cover that is shown here is made of Cotton Poplin.
I hope you guys enjoy this pillow cover and visit my shops to see more of my interior design ideas and items. Tune in tomorrow for another new pillow cover!

THANK YOU!!

Vintage Veil

I found a 1940's era white hat at a vintage store years ago. I have a tendency to buy items that I am drawn to. I didn't have a specific purpose for it, but as my fiance and I started planning our wedding, it dawned on me that with french netting it would be the perfect veil for our vintage-romantic wedding. I purchased my french netting from BirdcageSupply on etsy.com. I gathered the netting and sewed it to the top if the hat to create a veil. I think it turned out to be a great headpiece and I only spent about $25 total. Are you planning a vintage themed wedding? What does your veil look like?
