Back from a week at the beach in Westport,Wa. ...Theres just something about the ocean that is truly inspring....Our little cottage we stay in #7~ home away from home...
Starfish line the powder blue drapes throgh out the cottage which is located almost right ont he beach and right next to one of my favorite little shops ,The Mercantile...
The place is an old 1920's school house turned into a huge antique shop full of inspiration. I could just live at the cottages...A little store across the way ,the prettiest antique shop next store...I am really thinking about it ....
A vintage pincushion made of the prettiest linen and ols pale blue floppy worn ribbons, just the way I like them ...And some old trim with more old ribbon woven through.
Vintage hankie keeps, I just love the old fabric on these and the worn ribbons.
Sweet vintage handmade seam binding , don't you just love this and a whole spool of it.
The inside of the most prettiest candy box I have ever found ~
A pale satin blue with floppy ribbon bow on top with old ribbon work flowers. Oh my ,this is definalty a keeper.Also a pair of old shoe forms with the prettiest pale blue silk ruffled with more old ribbon work and some old hat netting with velvet ribbons. I just love all these little details ,don't you ?
And I could have bought a whole lot more if I would have let myself! The winner for the Romantic Homes August issue is .................
