MISS MOOX: Chenille Cottage

Welcome to my Cottage Guest Room... Last April I posted just a few photos of this room. I have added several more. My April 24, 2012 has been my "most viewed" post with 2385 views.

There's nothing like a good nights sleep.
My desire is for my guests to sleep well and wake up refreshed.

I love all things vintage!
I found this old chair in an antique store in Lebanon, Tennessee.
It's the perfect place to squirrel away with a good blog.

To protect the little woven husk stool that belonged to my husband's grandparents
I slipcovered it in a minty green toile.
The images are from my favorite nursery rhyme...
"Hey Diddle Diddle...The Cat and the Fiddle".

"Precious Moments"
Each one has been a thoughtful gift from my family and friends.

"Star light, Star bright, First star I see tonight.
I wish I may
I wish I might
To have this wish I wish tonight."

"Sweet Dreams"

"Chloe's Quilt"
My sweet kitty, Chloe was only with me five years.
She suffered kidney failure.
I made this small quilt for her.
She loved to curl up and nap on it.
I miss her!

Collecting and displaying vintage children's clothing is something I love to do.

"For God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten Son,
That whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish but have everlasting life"
John 3:16

I love soft, cuddly chenille.
That's the reason why I named my blog "Chenille Cottage".

I made this Teddy Bear
with my favorite 1930 Aunt Grace's reproduction fabrics.


Lilac
Lace curtains
A Lavender and white quilt
Rose colored lighting

I found this sweet doll cradle several years ago.
It needed a little TLC.
It soon became the perfect place for a few of my favorite things.
A chenille pillow Quilted teddy bear Several small quilted pillows and my 1950 baby picture.

"Birdhouses"
This miniature quilt is something I made several years ago.
I enjoy displaying it in the Spring.

Something soft for your toesies!

"Corner Cubby"
Each item on all the shelves was thrifted.
One of my favorite things to do is to spend time hunting for treasures in my local thrift shops.

The beautiful hobnail bedspreads were thrifted.
I paid $8 for each one.

I love kitties!

Sittin pretty!

My gentle little grey tabby cat, Schlomo.

"May Day Basket"
May your day be filled with joy!

Thank you for popping in and visiting,
my dear family and friends.

ON MARCH 17, 2013 I will repost "My Cottage Guest Room"...Only this time I will share 21 delightful photos!

I'm so glad you stopped by!
This has been my "MOST VIEWED POST" this past year.

Please come right in and prop up your feet! I will, kindly, ask Miss Kitty and Little Bear if they wouldn't mind resting against the pretty pillows on the bed.

I love toile! If you look, closely, you will see my favorite nursery rhyme "Hey, Diddle Diddle...The Cat and the Fiddle" images printed on the fabric.
I love slipcovering anything that moves and this little footstool was begging for a new suit of clothes!

Above my cozy chair is perched this petite little shelf.
Thank you for popping in and visiting, my dear friends! Please come back again!
Blessings,
Carolynn xoxo

Please go to www.thecharmofhome.blogspot.com for the most wonderful blog. I added this post to her invitation.

Last year I had the pleasure of making this little pinnie for my darling adopted daughter, Paula, of "Sweet Vintage Rose Cottage" She has become so very dear to me as she has gone through so many adversities with her health. We have prayed for each other every day and encouraged one another. If you haven't visited her lovely blog, please do. You will come away blessed by one of the sweetest, most feminine blogs, ever!

I love searching for little children's shoes at thrift stores and have found such precious ones. This is a little snippet of the "before"...that, I made darling Paula's little pink and white pinnie. Happily, I still have one more sweet little shoe waiting to become a pretty little pinnie!

Thank you so much for visiting and leaving me your kind comments!
Blessings, my dear friends!

Oh, how I LOVE APRONS! They treat my heart to so many wonderful memories like...My precious Gramma Peggie, her warm, sweet smelling kitchen, her strong faith in God, her loving heart, and her melodious laughter...Times past that are dear to my heart!

SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR SHIRLEY...OF "Zetta's Apron"

This week I have been stitching up something special for the very first person who left a comment on my new blog. Her name is Shirley from "Zetta's Apron" blog. In a loving tribute Shirley has dedicated her blog to her Grandma Zetta's memory. I was so touched by this that I thought it would be most appropriate to make an apron in honor of her Grandmother. Shirley loves the color RED (like me) and she has a penchant for polka dots. My dear Shirley...I hope you enjoy wearing your red, white and polka dot apron in good health!

***AN APRON ISN'T AN APRON WITHOUT A POCKET***

***ALL TIED UP WITH A PRETTY BOW***AND A CUSTOM "Chenille Cottage" LABEL***

BLESSINGS, SHIRLEY...I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR NEW APRON!
LOVINGLY,
CAROLYNN xoxo
