A Little Somethin, Somethin...

Hi Bloggerettes!

Staying on the "Frenchy" theme y'all!  I found four perfectly white placemats at the thrift and decided they needed a little somethin, somethin....so, french images from Graphics Fairy to the rescue...


There in my booth ready to go....
Sweet embroidered beach chair pillow....


These salt and pepper shakers are vintage reproductions.
I just love the look.


My kitchen is very happy since I added them to the tray.

Here on the coast we are all waiting to see what happens with Hurricane Irene and hoping she blows out to sea.

Everyone stay safe and have a wonderful weekend.

~~hugs~~

Yes, stay safe, Sissie! You will see Irene before we do. I'm hoping she doesn't make land. Love your placemats. It is so nice to see such lovely things on your blog. I am so tired of looking at boxes and everything in disarray!

Oh Sissy, I love the placemats, as far as I'm concerned you can stay on the French theme forever, I can't get enough. I forgot where you live....Somewhere on the East coast, stay safe!

People Who Know Me Would Say: said...

Are you guys ready for Irene, Sissie? I always think of all my Carolina friends this time of year. Yes, we're all going to see a something on the east coast, but the Carolinas stick out there in nerve-wracking fashion.

Why don't you do a post on transferring graphics for dummies like me and, well, maybe some of your other readers...but at least me. :)

Lynn said...

Cute placemats Sissie! Yes, I hope Irene takes a sharp right. At this point it sounds like Sunday and Monday will be sloppy here. Stay safe:@)

Unknown said...

Hi Sissie! Just trying to catch up on some long past due visiting. Looks like you've been busy creating beautiful things. Love those placemats and the pillows in your previous post. Keep those kitties safe during the storm!

Amy Chalmers said...

Those placemats are awesome Sissie! love the little green shakers too, always something happening over here!

ShabbyESP said...

Sissie,
I love those placemats!!! They look great and original, you have been busy with all your creations!!!
Enjoy your day and I am watching the news and pray that Irene fizzles out. Living in Orlando and had "Charlie" visit was very scary for us.
Suzann ~xoxo~

Donna said...

Oooh, la, la, Sissie! I love all things French (of course!) and your placemats are perfection! Maybe sometime you can divulge your secret to making them? Iron on transfer, maybe? I've not yet been brave enough to try it. Anyway, they won't last long in your booth:)

Sissy, you always us such pretty things. Adding the Frenchy look to the plain place mats was a great idea. Stay safe!! Shannon

Linda@Coastal Charm said...

Sissie,
Thinking about you with Irene coming...hoping that you have all your windows covered and have a safe place to stay inland during the storm. Coming from a gal that has gone thru a ton of hurricanes...you don't want to mess with these storms...get lots of supplies and stay safe.

Blessings,
Linda
