Yes...it was a most excellent score a couple of weeks ago.
Last sale of the day...a house that looked like Tara and a precious quirky little old lady.
She had on her best black outfit and HUGE black rimmed ROUND glasses.
Her hair was up in rollers and she had a feathered roller-cap (if that's what you call them) on her head. The black feathers stuck out a good 8-10 inches and when she walked...they floated and swayed.
She was adorable and fascinating at the same time.
Her garage looked like an antique store and most everything was priced out of my range.
And then I saw it...the fabric.
Heavy linen...gorgeous colors...and she had just reduced it to $20.
There is somewhere between 20-30 yards. Um, yeah...I'll take it!
I think I want to use it in the kitchen.
This is a huge color commitment for me...I'm honestly, kind of skeeeeeeered.
I am thinking about cafe type curtains so that I can keep them open.
I really don't want anything to block my light as I don't get alot of it.
Can you see my tee-tiny little clay witches hanging over the table?
They are riding little straw brooms.
I also have 2 chairs I'd like to slipcover for the ends of the table.
The bench was another yard sale find last year...$30.
Don't know if it will stay,
but my kids love sitting on it and I figure when we have company...
I can pack at least 6 little kids on it.
The mirror is propped up...would you want to watch yourself eat at every meal? :)
Sorry for the overload of pictures, but it is a rainy day today and it was hard to get anything decent.
I would love to hear any other ideas for window treatments.
I don't plan on using it as a tablecloth...I just spread it out that way to take a picture.
Now I'm off to wash and dry a yard of it to see how much it shrinks. I'd like to be able to wash it if I use it on the chairs.
