Inspired and facinated of beautifull pillows

Since I first saw the very beautifull pillows ,made with old lace and fabric, I have been very facinated , and watching another today, I thought, they would be a wonderfull inspiration,
for very small lavender pillows.


So this was the first I made, using old handkerchief, laces, and placed a tag,
inside the pocket.


This second one, is also made with very old laces, and on the tag, I used an image
chosen from a beautifull book-page I recieved from my dear friend Liz .
I love this old engravings,-and Liz so sweet gifted me with some bird-images.
Thanks so much dear.



This white metal-bowl, alwayes holds varius displayes,-and just
now I have collected some , of my very dear gifts, and buyes,to make a spring display
inside.

The most beautifull lace on tag,and clothespin, I got in a very special and beautifull eastergift
from my so dear , and close friend -and very talented artist Julia
The little pillow ,I won in a giveaway from Marie
She has become a new, and dear friend ,too.

And then two of my latest buyes, the beautifull pear, from Diane
a wonderfull woman that I am happy to ,too call my friend

and the birds drawing -it is so sweet, ---purchased from Michelle Palmer.
Well I know I just showed the two last art pieces , but i wanted to do those two fantastic
artists credit again, I so love their work


Last photo is from my yard, showing an old iron urn with a
gorgeus Petunia in the most fantastic soft pink color.
I think it looks so very beautifull.


It started to rain, and storm now, 9,30 evening, it is dark and cold,
Hope my newsowed little things can cope with this autumn - like
weather.

Dear friends, thanks for every kind and loving word on my blog,
it makes me feel so very happy, and means more than I can express.

Love and hugs, Dorthe

Dorothe, love the little pillows! I have some antique hankies and what a great idea to use them to make some little lavendar (mmmmm, love lavendar) pillows.

Your antique white bowl and treasures makes a beautiful display and your petunias are gorgeous in that old iron urn.

Sending you some sunshine and warmth from Ontario, Canada!

Hugs,

Sue

Oh my Dorthe - these are so lovely. I love the use of the white vintage linens and the lace -what a beautiful creation. And that tag - is the perfect accessory for the little pillows. So, so sweet. Some lucky person is going to love these!

I just love that white metal bowl - what a perfect place for seasonal collections!

And those flowers - they look very happy on your porch. Sorry about your rainy weather - it has been miserable HOT here!

Your lavender pillows are just gorgeous, Sweetie! What a great idea to give them an outside pocket! The tags you made to put in there are beautiful as well!
I have a thing for such wonderful metal items and your bowl and the urn are both very pretty and lovely decorated. Hopefully the flowers can brave that ugly weather.
Have a great week, dearest Dorthe!
Big kys og knus,

What a thoroughly enjoyable post with a lovely mixture. Your little lavender pillows are just gorgeous, all that beautiful old lace, and the designs are so sweet. I am so happy that you found a use for the bird images. The treasures from your friends look so lovely displayed together. I know I would constantly fondle those beautiful tactile pretties. And your garden urn full of the most delicious pink blooms is so pretty! Have a wonderful week, Dorthe, xxx
