I'm almost as crazy about pillows as I am about aprons! Linda's blog "it all started with paint" is hosting a link party. I just couldn't resist joining in on the fun!
I made these little pillows from vintage quilt blocks & linens. There are two rooms in my home that are painted in soft pastels...our master bedroom and guestroom.
As much as I love the color RED...I enjoy peaceful pastels to slip away to for a pleasant nap or a good nights sleep.
Very inexpensive project...Made from a drapery sample & thrifted vintage crochet.
I was blessed to attend a Martha Pullen Heirloom School and learned wonderful sewing techniques.
Soft blue silk ribbon
A fun project that I made at Martha Pullen's Heirloom Sewing School.
Another inexpensive project...Made from a well worn table cloth.
A bolster that I made from drapery scraps...
Bluework embroidery on linen...Don't you love these two little sweethearts?!

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...Anotherthrifted 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?
Ahhh lighting!...One of the most important (and one of my most favorite) parts in designing a space as lighting enhances a room by greatly changing the mood-not only with actual light but with how the materials and finishes play off each other. We recently had the opportunity to visit an amazing lighting company, The Urban Electric Co. and it left us feeling OH. SO. INSPIRED!
Where all the magic happens...
The Urban Electric Co. was founded here in Charleston in 2003 by Dave Dawson who had a clear vision for the company as well as a strong passion for design and craftsmanship. Dawson personally oversee's the entire process from the in-house marketing campaigns down to the way the products are shipped, this quality-control over his brand is what has made Urban Electric the company that it is today.
All light fixtures are handcrafted by local, trained artisans who take pride in each step of the process while making these gorgeous works of art! They are made from the finest materials which makes them not just pieces you will have for a few years...but investment, heirloom pieces that you will enjoy for a lifetime!

Shade for Metro Wall Sconce
Another interesting feature about The Urban Electric Co. that you need to know...all of their light fixtures are totally customizable. Need a different color, size, finish?... They can do it! That makes Designers like me really happy! In fact, most of their designer collaborations came about due to Designers/Architects customizing some of their pieces and The Urban Electric Co. enjoying what they were creating! Some of these collections include talented Designers like Amanda Nisbet, Tom Scheerer, and Amanda Handegan. Here are just a few of our favorites...
