MISS MOOX: pastel

  • Cottage Guest Room

    Cottage Guest Room

    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.

  • Springtime

    Springtime

    Pink, lilac, sky blue, sunny yellow & minty green...
    Yes... Spring is almost here!

    Eggs are everyday reminders of new life.
    Little Baby Chicks
    Even our gardens are showing new signs of life...
    Sunny yellow daffodils
    Purple Crocus
    Golden Forsythia

    The sweet little girl is my husband's Mother, Anne . The photo was taken in the 1930s.
    She is such a loving and wonderful Mother-in-love.
    My bedroom is a peaceful respite decorated in powder blue, soft pink and buttery yellow.
    

    I love sewing.
    One of my favorite things to make are Heirloom baby garments.
    I, especially, love Christening Gowns.
    Soft white batiste, dainty pin tucks and embroidery.
    What treasured keepsakes they make.

    "Desert Rose " from my sweet Gramma.
    I have many fond memories of family gathered around Gramma and Grampa's table on Easter Sunday.
    She always served us on her beautiful Franciscan Ware.
    
    
    

    A pretty little Rose teacup and saucer from my Mother.

    Vintage touches...
    Lace that my Gramma crocheted
    Vintage plates from my thrifting adventures.

    This pretty little cream and sugar are thrifted.
    I love the feminine touch they give my cottage shelf.

    A tiny little tea cup
    Yes...Another thrifted treasure!

    And now for a
    SNEAK PEEK!

    I've been having fun working on something special
    for the Easter Swap.
    Can you guess what I'm making?

    "Ask, and it shall be given you;
    Seek, and ye shall find;
    Knock, and it shall be opened unto you."
    Matthew 7:7

     Cottage Guest Room

    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
