Dazzling Diamonds Fabric

When I think diamonds, I think argyle or kites (or jewels...), but how many of us think of diamonds on fabric, let alone vintage fabric? There are so many various decorative patterns featuring diamonds that are beautiful to work with. Sew a skirt, curtains, pillows, reupholster the kitchen chairs, make a journal or picture frame, create doll clothing, incorporate this into your quilt...... Use your imagination, stretch the limits with your creative ideas. In the meantime, check out a few of these diamond-patterned fabric from a few vintage etsy shops. Click on the links and take a closer look!

Retro Butterflies

I often go outdoors with my children in the summer to relax near our garden among the trees. I often see an array of lovely butterflies as they dance with colorful elegance across the sky and onto our flowers. There is nothing like the musical symmetry of a butterfly in the sun. So, let's celebrate the beauty of summer with these decadent antiques. Here are the links to a few examples of etsy's vintage butterfly collection from various shops. Enjoy!
