Hey all, hope your having a beautiful week so far. I think we're having a bit of a heat wave here in So Cal, so I'm trying to stay in as much as possible. I found some beautiful lilacs this morning, no I didn't cut them from someone's yard, :) I got these from Whole Foods. Trader Joe's use to carry them years ago but I can never find them there anymore. The price was fabulous, so I bought 2 huge bunches for $4.99 each.
I got this vintage grainsack pillow from the flea market on Sunday. The stripes and monogram are a wonderful raspberry color.
The Union Jack pillow is from Loretta, it's made with linen and vintage lace and is so lovely!!
Sorry for the dark photos, I didn't have time to edit them except for the first one. It just takes way too long!
Have a great day.
Sincerely,
~Melinda

I want to come tour your house. How has it not been a full featured spread in a home mag. It is soooo gorgeous
Ah yes, photo editing! I used to do so many fun things in Picnik, now I just adjust them a little in Picasa. Blogging takes enough time! The lilacs are gorgeous, I swear I can smell them now! :-) I will check Whole Foods, thanks for the tip. I love your grainsack pillow, too. I've been wanting one but can't afford them. Hope to make myself some "knock-off" covers someday!
