How does your garden grow? ~ Cottage Garden Party

 

  

  

 My Garden - June 2013

I love my gardens in June.  

June is my favorite month of the year.
The weather is perfect.  Just enough rain and not to hot.
My gardens are filling out and most of the flowers have started to bloom.  Everything is thriving.
What a beautiful sight.  

Hope you enjoyed the tour.

Wishing everyone a wonderful week!

Feminine Luxuries ~ Pink Saturday!

 

 Handmade Hanger Covers

I have a large collection of antique and vintage clothing of which I love to display.  They add something very special to the decor and I enjoy looking at them.  

I wanted a pretty and stylish way to protect them from sun exposure and dust.  Some of them are very fragile and couldn't withstand a cleaning (not even dry cleaning).  

  I have piles and piles of vintage fabric, lace, and notions and decided to put some of them to good use.  

I made several sets of covered garment hangers.  

I used quality velvet hangers and made fitted covers for each.  On some of them I added little pockets (for a belt or piece of jewelry).  You can hang your garment over or under the cover.  They make everything look so pretty and organized.

I made a few extra of which are available for purchase via my Etsy shop:

A Treasure Box ~ Wallpaper Roses & Old Lace

 1920's Wallpaper Box

Some of my favorite things......  roses, old lace and millinery flowers.  

When flea market shopping.....  they are always at the top of my list.    

I really hit the jackpot this time!  

I found an antique wallpaper box filled to the brim with old lace, millinery flowers and velvet ribbons.

Most of the flowers and the velvet ribbon are PINK!!  Yeah!

The box is gorgeous!  with huge pinky red roses and blue ribbons.

Now.....  what to do with it all???

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
