Then I found this tablecloth .
And the next thing I knew I was totally ga-ga for lavender.
I started trolling ebay for all things "vintage lavender" or "vintage lilac".
I won this WONDERFUL fabric there. (Destined to be either curtains or a duvet cover for the new house.)
Two days ago I found myself trolling ebay and I noticed some vintage chenilles in my lovely lavender.And this morning I drug Jack to the thrift store (is preschool EVER going to start again???), and lookie what I found!
A vintage lavender chenille. For two bucks. Score.Now to decide what to make with it...
Even better, when we got home look what was in the mail box. Holy smokes, I love Halloween. This totally made my day.
As Jack likes to exclaim, "OH YEA!"
Now if you'll excuse me there is a magazine waiting with my name all over it.
I'm loving the lilac color. Thanks for the heads-up on the Country Living magazine. I've been working like crazy on Halloween crafts for our big Halloween party. I'm going to be stalking the mailbox!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for Halloween!!! Love the lavender stuff! Hope all is well(or at the very least, calm) at your place!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful lilacy day! Great score on the chenille. I just picked up Marta Steward halloween mag this a.m.at Borders - can't wait to see if my Country living is in my mailbox today....PLEASE!
ReplyDeletei am loving the lilac too, so pretty. can't wait to hear the details on the new house!
ReplyDeleteGood looking finds Sarah! Thanks for the magazine tip -- I'll be looking for it in the bookstore!
ReplyDeletethat tablecloth & blanket are gorgeous! i have yet to find any chenille.
ReplyDeleteLove that chenille! For the longest time I tried to find some kind of lavender spread for my bed and could never find anything. I finally gave up and went with a totally different color scheme. And you know once I gave up I started seeing it everywhere!
ReplyDeleteI keep dreaming about finding a vintage chenille bedspread for $2. The stores around here have realized how in demand they are and they are usually marked fairly high. Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteI'm freaking out! I didn't know all of the Halloween mags were out already! I always have to have the CL and Martha Halloween issues! I love Halloween too. I just got what I thought was an old punkin blow mold at a sale today, but it doesn't say anything on it, so maybe not, but it looks old. I know nothing about blow molds.
ReplyDeleteI've never been crazy about lilac linens, but that chenille spread is making me rethink that!
Some great goodies! Love the chenille bedspread! I LOVE Halloween! Now I have something to look forward to, waiting for my Country Living!
ReplyDeleteDon't you love when that happens?! I love stumbling across something that I've been looking for at the thrift store.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling better Sarah. My hubby sometimes has anxiety problems. I think it is hereditary as his mother does too. I tell him to just keep busy so he doesn't have time to think about whatever he is obsessing about. Sometimes it actually works.
Great chenille spread! I love Country Living Magazine!
ReplyDeleteOh, no fair! I haven't received my October issue yet......
ReplyDeleteMaybe tomorrow.
