Pajamas and Pillows

January 10, 2014 By Meegan 2 Comments

Happy Friday!! I am thrilled to be with you here today! There is always something going on around here, and I am sure the same it for you, too. Life keeps us busy, doesn’t it? I took some time out this week to make some pajamas and pillows. It was nice to sew again. I really enjoy my Mother’s Day present from my Hubby.

Anyway…As you can see I like pillows. They make me feel at home, and cozy. How about you??

I made this pillow when I first starting changing our home from deep reds and golds to lighter whites and blues. I still don’t even know why I chose this fabric. Sometimes I just have brain freezes like that.

Christmas Decorating Tour

December 13, 2016 By Meegan 10 Comments

Welcome to my Christmas Decorating Tour. I have always had a love of Vintage Christmas decorating. It might be because I grew up at a time with the Christmas decorations were all from the 40s and 50s. It was about 20-40 years old then. But it is what I grew up with so it is written upon my Christmas soul.

The vintage pieces that I am drawn to are chippy, worn and colorful. Everything from colorful to faded and torn with some glitter thrown it there too.

Summer Beach Cottage Shelf

May 7, 2013 By Meegan 13 Comments

This is a post from last Fall, but I think it applies to now just as well, since Spring and Summer are upon us. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did pulling it together.

I know for some of you Summer is almost over. But, I don’t want it to end. I love the sun, the water, the warmth, the sound of people enjoying the outdoors, etc… I like to pretend we live in a beach cottage. I know I am old, I shouldn’t be pretending like that. But it is my dream-and we live in the desert so this is my only way to get that Summer beach cottage feeling.

In an effort to avoid getting my Fall Decor out, I rearranged my shells, and my candles on the top shelf of our bookcase. I looked around my home to see what I could come up with. It took me about 15 minutes to finish. I have shared this part of our living room with you before.

Before:

It is nice. But I still needed the frame for the book page wreath, and the shelves are way too crowded.

After: I looked in our bathrooms, and in the kitchen, then found just what I had in mind. Much Better!

A close up of my goodies. Yes, those are dried artichokes in the vase. Thanks PB! The candlesticks were all thrifted and placed in various areas of our home. I like them together now. I tied string around each candle for a more beachy feel.

The rocks and shells each represent a vacation or a beach trip. The books are some of our favorites that we have taken to the beach or pool with us to relax and read as we soak up the sun.

Another look. I found the sticks from a stick tree I added to our living room. I just love sticks, don’t you??? I LOVE how everything looks so good with the frame and wreath, too.

The coral is from Maui and the smaller shells are from Tahiti. The candlestick is a thrift find. Everything looks better tied with twine or string, doesn’t it?

You will recognize this stand when I made a $3 cloche. The cloche is just under this shelf with dried hydrangeas in it now. LOVE!!

Yep, I am not ready for Summer to end!! So I will leave my Summer beach cottage shelves up for awhile. Until I absolutely need to change them. But, for now it is still summer, right? Come on-tell me “Right”.
