Several folks have asked what prize the winner receives. The winner receives 10 yards of Waverly fabric. Waverly makes some of the most beautiful fabric you've ever seen, so I'm excited and nervous at the same time about having won. I haven't done a huge amount of sewing in my lifetime...just a few costumes shared in THIS post and some pillows for a 4th of July porch shared in THIS post. Something tells me there may be a sewing project in the works here on BNOTP before long. If/when that happens, I promise to share it all with you--after all YOU were the catalyst behind this--from start to finish!
Stylist Home:
The Huffington Post has a new website devoted to design and DIY, called Stylist Home.
I discovered their site when they contacted me recently to ask about featuring one of my previous napkin folds. If you're looking for some fun ideas for a future tablescape or DIY design project, or if you just want to check out the napkin fold they chose to feature on their site, you'll find it at Stylist Home.
♦Julia added a fabulous sunroom to her home a while back and she's been busy decorating it for fall. I love the new lamp and ottomans she just bought for this beautiful room. Hooked on Houses
♦Need some inspiration for your holiday mantel this year? Melissa's wonderful mantel was featured in Cottages & Bungalows! The Inspired Room
Kathleen made whimsical wreaths using vintage toys. I love these!
What a wonderful way to feature vintage or collectible toys! Do you have any from your childhood?
Liz (Infuse with Liz) decorates her chandeliers with wreaths each year. She said, "The wreaths were hung at the bottom of the chandeliers using plastic tie wraps to fasten them. The one at the dining table came with a few pine cones and then I added picks and ornaments.
"The red accented one has a garland of sparkly decorated balls that I laid on the top and then I hung the ornaments randomly with hooks underneath."
I don't know about you, but this has my wheels turning! Would love to do this with my breakfast room chandelier.
The Charmed Life Giveaway:
The winner for The Charmed Life Giveaway has been announced on the giveaway post, HERE. Thanks to everyone who entered! I'm having trouble reaching the winner...hope she sees this post!
See you tomorrow for Tablescape Thursday!
Wow! Congratulations, Susan! This is wonderful and your pumpkins are gorgeous. I do love the Blue Willow looking one! I can't wait to see what fabric you pick and then what you'll do with it! You're the best!
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Thanks, Shelia! ♥
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you won. I liked the blue one the best and you deserved the win. I have one thrifted chair covered in Waverly fabric and that fabric is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Susan. You are very deserving. Everything you do is classic and your photos are so professional looking.
ReplyDeleteI guess everything old is new again. I have been using the wreaths on the breakfast room chandy for years. I change them up a bit each year. I will send you a photo of this year's. This year it will have my collection of vintage Norman Rockwell ornaments.
It's funny, I see so many wonderful new ideas in blogland. Then, I have been around soooooo long, many things are making the rounds again. Blogland gives them a venue in which to live a new life. It is so good to see. Hope all is well with you. Blessings
Congratulatons!! You deserve the kudos! I love them both, but voted for BLUE!! Thanks for the continued inspiration ;}
