I got in a creative mood today and came up with linen hand towels and two pillows and of course...I found something wonderful!
The hand towels are made from vintage pillow slips that were in good condition on one side only. So, I cut them in half and used the good side... added this wonderful Paris floral image. {iron on image from Etsy Shop Whit and Whimsy Studio} I stitched a hem all the way around the pillow slip leaving the pretty lace. The result is this...
What could be more French than a Paris Flea Market Basket....
Serious love here.....

Remember the wonderful vintage sheets I found at Habitat Restore?
I used one to make this pillow. I added some vintage crocheted lace, a vintage rhinestone brooch....and instant sweetness!
This pillow is made from a vintage tablecloth. All it needed was a little image to sweeten it up a little...
Okay, that's it. Time to go fluff up the booth.
Be sure and start your week out by creating, painting, sewing, photographing, writing....or whatever makes you happy! And, if you found something wonderful over the weekend....share it with us!
And most of all...
"Keep Calm and Carry On!"

I am lovin' all you did here that is creative. Love the image on the towel. You took your own advice and did something creative. How fun. After reading your posts I always get inspired to do something creative too! Housecleaning can wait:)

Beautiful elegance!!! You do such beautiful work!
Love the tea towels and of course the pillow. Just beautiful.
Just beautiful Sissie.
I just came back from foofing my booth. It never ends.
I need to learn to make the tea towels! They are just the cutest! Everything you make is so feminine and pretty! ♥
Love the pretty tea towel and the vintage sheet pillow! You have the prettiest things. I spent all day Sat. Fluffing my booth. Lots of work!
Lovely "new" vintage linens and very lacylicious. Blissful...
Love those tea towels Sissie and love the pink Keep Calm and Carry On pillow!
Had to come over and catch up.
Your pillows are lovely, as always.
I'm loving your header, Sissie!
The mantle looks so pretty with the bunnies, and candle sticks.
I just enjoy coming over to see everything you do, girl!!
Have a wonderful week.

I am totally drooling over your towels, Sissie! They are way too pretty to use! I'll have to check out that Etsy shop, love the gorgeous image. And your other creations are so pretty, too!
Oh Sissy you are truly the pillow queen!!! They are all so lovely- love love the one with the crochet trim and vintage brooch.
The towels are simply lovely too! I am sure you have told us how you do the graphics but am wondering if you could remind me which technique you use. I am wanting to do a graphic on my craft chair but have never done any graphic transferring and am not sure which is the best way. Would love your imput if you have a wee bit of time!

Sweet dear Sissie, you alwayes amazes me, with all the beauty you create. The tovels are so beautiful, and I also love your lovely pillows. They will find new homes very quickly.

Sissie~
LOVE your tea towels!!
Creative minds think alike!
I love "iron on images". They are so great. I buy sheets and pillow cases from the thrift shops and make all sorts of things out of them. They are also great for "backing" things. They give "added strength" to antique fabrics.
Thanks for sharing your lovely creations.
Will visit again soon!

Beautiful Sissy! Love the towels, and the image!

Big hugs,
Isabelle

Gorgeous, as usual! My mother tried to teach both my sister and me to sew when we were growing up but unfortunately neither of us got proficient at it. Now I can barely sew on a button! Sure wish I had tried harder.
Once again, you make pretty out of the simplest thing... I love the way you "get" the fabulousness of old linens, and bring them back to life.. you're amazing!
Cindy
Love, love, love the towels. They are beautiful!
Those towels I love Sissie!!! Now tell me, your photos are crystal clear~have you been using a new camera or different settings? Looks fantastic~that shot of the white chair and pretty pillow, well its a great one!
Beautiful towels! Love your creativity.
Sherry
They are all pretty...my fav is the one with the brooch.
Blessings,
Linda
Pretty, girly, wowza! Well done, Miss Sissie!
Everything is so pretty as always. Those vintage linens were certainly a score! Good thing you didn't let that lady talk you out of them because they would need to be washed!
Beautiful, Sissie! The image on the towels is gorgeous and I love all the pillows.
Hugs, Sherry
So pretty! Everything here makes me smile!
