So, off to my fabric stash I went and found some fall looking floral cotton. Now, I don't mean to shock you, but I decided it was time to
shake things up a bit, you know, get a new look, a new groove,
something different, fresh, innovative, awe inspiring!! Whew, I'm tired now, so how about a picture.....
Oh, would you like to see that chair a little better?
I bought two of them about twelve years ago. Back when I had no sense about prices and being thrifty. They cost an arm and a leg, but I just loved them and HAD TO HAVE THEM! They were handpainted for heavens sake, so that justified the price, right....am I right??
Ooops, I goofed. I started this post yesterday and last night
I found some BURLAP! It was hidden way in the back of the closet.
So, I whipped up this little number. Sweet ain't she?
Ruffle mania!!!
Love this silky ribbon.
My blog anniversary is coming up next week, so I need to think of something wonderful to giveaway.
I just love all of you to pieces and wish that we could all have a big ole group hug. Sorry, I'm gettin sloppy, but I do love you!
~~hugs~~

Dear Sissie,
I missed you! I've taken to my bed. Summer with my kids finally exhausted me. LOL I love the yellow floral fabric. It looks like a vintage pillow case. I would have paid a fortune for the chairs too. Their awesome. I thought for a minute someone had hijacked your blog! I mean, Sissie out of burlap?? No Way! Hummm, blog anniversary, giveaway....that burlap pillow in the previous post with the doily on it. The one with the bird cage & runner. Yes, that one, that's my pick~ Lisa
Your handpainted chairs are so scrumptious, I can see why they had to come home with you! I love handpainted furniture. It is such a sweet look.
PS And I love your pillow too.:)
AGHHHHHH out of burlap!!! It can't be!!! Although that did give you the opportunity to make a new lovely! I think the vintage yellow floral is perfect for fall. I bet someone will snatch it up in a hurry! But then... you found burlap and was able to save the day! "Super Sissie saves the day... burlap found"! LOL and it's a good thing cuz I gotta tell you, nobody does burlap like you do! Have a great night! Theresa xoxo

I absolutely love that burlap pillow with the beautiful ruffle on it. I can't wait to try my hand at making some things out of burlap. I am loving it more and more in decorating. The floral pillow is so pretty too. I am just sick that I did not get to see your booth when I was down visiting in your area. That will be on my list for the next trip. Love & blessings from NC!
Oh Sissie,
I love everything! So glad you found some burlap after all but I hear you on getting tired of things. When we've had it, we've had it, right? What is the item on your dresser? Looks like metal and glass case... whatever it is, I love it! Sorry it's taken me so long to get over here but so glad I did. Have a great weekend!

Oh Sissie we should know you've got a "stash" of burlap hidden somewhere around the house. They say thats what all addictive personalities have, aaaaahhhh...kinda like my chocolate stash! It may not be in plain sight, but if you dig hard enough you can turn some up! te he. Love the chairs. They have a "Swedish" look to them!
Big Hugs...
xo,
Debra
Oh so pretty Sissie! Love the chair and I love the ruffle on the pillow! Did you make the ruffle or did the ribbon come like that?
Lovely as always Sissie, seems like we both have a bit of a yellow thing going on, I see yellow in your fabric too!! The ribbon ruffle is just beautiful:-)
Tracey
The chairs are gorgeous...no wonder you HAD to have them! I love all that you show us! Great pillow!~Hug back to you! Patti

Sissie, I am in love with your pretty chairs. I can see why you would fork over a little more than maybe you thought you should, but they look like they are so worth it.
Yellow is my favorite color and the painting on the backs is beautiful.
Thankyou so much for all your lovely comments, I really do appreciate them.
You had better get as much of that burlap as you can, because if I find it, I am bringing it all home. HA!! Char
Oh Sissie.....I am always awed and amazed at the wonderful things you "just whip up". Just beautiful.......

OMGosh...that ruffled burlap pillow is AWESOMELY BEAUTIFUL !!
With the party going on at Kelee's place today, I have been teary all day long..just reading my post of my two grands being hurt so badly brings me to tears...then, knowing they were both brought back to health makes me cry again. Oh, dear, I can see I am going to have to go to bed early tonight with 2 Tylenol PM's.
Seeing your pretty pillows and chairs has made me smile, tho. :)

Love your chairs! So totally justified Sissie! You are too funny... Love the pillow you just "whipped up." The yellow floral pattern has a vintage look to it. It is very pretty.
Hugs back to you!

That pillow is STUNNING! So glad you found a secret stash of burlap! It's like finding money in your coat pocket from last year!

Oh Sissie, I always love your work! The pillows are beautiful, and your chair is not only very sweet, but inspiring as well! I have a computer/desk chair/OLD KITCHEN chair that could use a makeover, now that it's been moved to my bedroom.. But then again, my whole bedroom could really use a makeover! (Sigh).. We'll see what I can do. Patience is a virtue, right?!.. Have a wonderful weekend! ~tina
