Pillows and Duvets

Posted by MAKMU ta On Friday, February 03, 2012 No comments

Two wonderful things came together for me.

Earlier I shared with you some good news about Goodwill. Several of you shared that you’ve experienced higher prices.

Also, I mentioned in my Home and Garden Thursday post

my desire to transform our Green Room into an ‘as Shabby

Chic as I can’ room.

So, yesterday I ventured out to our local Goodwill.

I was able to find several wonderful things.

I began my search in the linens and found this Duvet

with the down comforter still inside! I just love the rose pattern.

I also found a

Battenburg lace flat twin sheet and pillowcase as well as

A Battenburg lace pillow sham.

Upon closer inspection when I brought it home to wash, I discovered that this duvet is homemade from two sheets.

This charmed me.

Also, I received a bag of clothing and fabric that my husband and daughter will use to make quilts.

In the bag were two little girl dresses. I loved the colors

and immediately knew what I wanted to do with them.

I made this heart pillow, (which I filled with lavender and stuffing)
with one of the dresses and the pocket

pillow with the other.

Transforming our Green Room into a Shabby Chic room is

Well underway!
Postscript: I have made a few more changes, not ready to share but, I showed these pillows to my daughter and she exclaimed, 'that was my favorite dress"! She's now in college and this was a little girls size 10. The dress had been passed along to a family member who put it back in a bag for quilt making...serendipity.
