We're off to the Brimfield Show today... OK, so we're not off to the Brimfield Show today. The English teacher couldn't read the website and mistakenly thought the show began today... it doesn't. That sigh of relief you might have heard from wherever you are reading this was Rob, of course. So hopefully some pictures from the show next weekend.
Yesterday felt so like Saturday around here, it was lovely. Rob has been working incredibly hard on the house, I actually finished the papers I needed to grade (all 54 of them at 4 pages each) and we're looking forward to more productivity around here today, as we will not be scouring the mother of all antique markets.
I did find the above "linens" as we went shopping on Saturday at our local out-door mall. Our new table-cloth is from Williams Sonoma, the two matching napkins (dijon yellow and grey in the middle) are going to be used as fabric. The other napkins were found at the lovely Anthropologie and will also be part of some sewing projects really soon. Mostly, I'm looking to update the Spool Sewing bird mobile that I attempted to make a few months back. It was actually one of my first sewing projects...
They're exceptionally pastel and so I'd like to use some heavier and more muted fabrics to make a mobile that will grace the loft. The thought of snipping up those napkins to use as fabric might seem a little crazy, but they're gorgeous and I can't wait to see how it comes together.
Little teaser for the coming week... around here a decision has been made, an addition will be added to our little household and it will be making it's debut on Saturday... I could not be more excited! So, onto a new week, a new season... with new linens and new projects and new little additions to the house to see. Make sure to head on over to Flickr to see what we've been up to. Have a happy week, hope you are having as many productive moments as we are, wether that be preparing for the coming season, relaxing with pugs, enjoying family or all of the above.
