I wanted show you these amazing curtains I found while we were in the mountains ~ two pair, 96" long, and they are absolutely gorgeous to me!!!
They had never been used, old as dirt and still had a little paper inside of them telling how to care for them. Of course I washed them right away, they were a little dirty and were crisp like cardboard! Even if the stains didn't come out, I knew I could use the fabric....well, now they are this wonderful slinky, crinkled gorgeousness that I've GOT to figure out what to do with them!!
I would love to hang them on either side of the guest bed,
coming out from the wall on each side ~
but have to figure out how to do it!
I need those swing arm rods I guess :)

Plus I found a small bolt of scrim! I've been looking for this stuff forever ~ a little bit tighter weave than cheesecloth....this piece I washed to see how it held up ~
And here are two of my very favorite glitters for the holidays ~
Dear Dorthe....I want you to see the difference in the texture,
please click on the photo to enlarge.
I love them both and use them separately and also together!!

You sure are up late, missy! Wow, those curtains are gorgeous. My fave purchase from Warrenton was my antique French lace curtains. Love the bird, and loving Artist Class!
Oh, and love you, too!

i use that diamond dust too, i like how chunky it is!!! your snow bird looks super cute Dawn!!!
Dawn,
The threads running through the curtains are beautiful, can't wait to see that sweet guest room finished. Could it be a birdie tuitorial? I can't resist anything bird-like. Lisa
PS Your blogging buddies love you too!
Those curtains are gorgeous! What a great find. In fact, everything you got from the mountains was wonderful. I think you need to organize a shopping trip!! How far is it from VA?!
Dawn, thumbs up on the curtain find! I do have a question though, is diamond dust like mica flakes? Thanks!
Hello Dawn!!! Snowbird Love..Curtain Love..Diamond dust Love...and they say you can only love people! Ha! Well pretty true but we sure do enjoy all these wonderful things too, don't we! I know right were I'd use those pretty curtains...Happy creating my friend, xoxo~Kathy @ Sweet Up-North Mornings..
Dawn,
A friend of mine hung curtains beside her daughters bed like you are thinking of doing by using thin towel bars. The curtains slid over the bar and the bar was screwed to the ceiling. It look like really great hardware. I have also seen it done with a closet cup, double threaded screw, and short closet pole with a finial on the end. Just some ideas if you can't find great swing arm rods. Regardless, they will look divine. I can't wait to see the finished project.
You find the best stuff. I want to come JUNK with you!

So that's what scrim is! I'd been wondering....because if looks like cheesecloth. Your mittens are so very very sweet, just like you!

Abundant blessings to you, dear one,
