Shabby Bohemian

Last month I bought a headband simply because I loved the fabric.

I never wear headbands...they look awful on me, but I had to have this fabric.

I found it in a little hippie shop in Freeport Maine and try as I might to find a scarf or something bigger than a headband in the same fabric, it didn't happen.

So, here is what I came up with using these beautiful bits of fabric...

I made tiny lavender sachet pillows and combined them with recycled wooden beads and handmade glass beads.

I hung them from an old chair spindle and added a shabby reclaimed silk rose.

I know it's a bit quirky and unusual, but hey, that's me.

I was thinking that this idea in a larger version would be cool as a window treatment or a room divider.

The fragrance from the lavender is heavenly!

See ya soon.
