Snippets of Inspiration...from the vault!

What does "from the vault" mean?

I don't know, but it sure sounded good!

No, really, these goodies are from my saved files ~

you know the ones where you have to ditch a magazine

because your stack is falling in the floor and you need to get rid of a few?

These are a few of the pages I snagged because I loved something on them.

Not this first image though...
it's from a book of sheet music I bought a few weeks back.

I just love it and had to share with you ~

PS. I'm so mad about this new format Blogger has decided is so grand.

When you click on my scans that I love to share with you,

they DON'T GET ANY LARGER!

UGH!

I will figure out another way to share large scans and good stuff with you....

I have a beautiful idea to share below!

Do you love the feel of a canopy bed?

Simply install two curtain rods you love to your ceiling,

then add a giant swath of GORGEOUS fabric and VOILA!

You are sleeping in luxury....

I'm so in love with Ralph Lauren.

Well, not really HIM but with his classic, timeless style.

This bedding below is a Ralph Lauren pattern, Guinevere.

I have a piece of fabric in the pattern and a ruffled sheet too.

Sick, huh?

That I would settle for fragments of it...

But I always thought that the fabric

would make such beautiful accent pillows in our living room.

I worked in a drapery workroom for a VERY short time
(can you say "sweat shop"?)
and I learned how to create

this gorgeous window treatment.
We called it a butterfly shade....

I'm still so in love with it.

And I've always loved toile. ALWAYS.

It's timeless to me....a classic.

The snippet below is from a dining room but don't you

absolutely LOVE how those curtains are scalloped????

A guest bedroom would so gorgeous

in all blue and white toile,

don't you think?

And the icing on the cake of my post?

Our angel.

Clara.

Growing like a little WEED!

Talking all the time...

we're all so in love with her!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend dear friends....

Remember to take time to enjoy the little things ~
seems time is passing by so quickly!

much love and hugs,

Dawn
