Hello, Dear Ones.
Well I have to tell you my dainty talented fingers have been busy sewing.
Sorta, kinda busy! :)

I made some tea towels.
Don't you love the vintage look?
You may remember I found this pair of vintage kitchen curtains a while back.
Knowing I wasn't going to use them on my kitchen window,
I decided to make tea towels from them.
I just love the little lined up ladies and trees, don't you?
Of course I don't intend to actually use them
but they sure make pretty 'to look at' tea towels.
So my little new olden vintage tea towels are hamming it up in the kitchen.
It's really okay to chop up vintage fabrics especially when you end up with four little darling tea towels.

I'll leave you with a little Note Song ~
Changes
I took my love, and I took it down
I Climbed a mountain and I turned around
and I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
'Till the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life~~~
Mmmm mmm mmm
Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too
(Interlude)
Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
children get older
And I'm getting older too
I'm getting older too
So, take my love, take it down
ooh, if you Climb a mountain and you turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down
And If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well maybe the landslide will bring it down
Oh the landslide bring it down

ReplyDeleteI wouldn't use them either Shelia, altogether too pretty - they make an amazing statement! I'm pretty sure I was one of the many who saw that last post and said "apron"! :)
ReplyDeleteShelia your lovely comment at my place prompted me to dash on back here as there's two things I've been meaning to say for an age! First is I am always totally amazed at how you constantly come up with just the right song at the end of each post and secondly what has happened to your delightful vacation/holiday tab?
