Vintage Prom Gowns

Faded, vintage, prom gowns used as accessories for home decor is such a fun way to add some soft color to a room. Most times they are quite pricey, but I was lucky enough to find these for only $10 each.

I think this white one may have been a wedding gown.

They add a little romance to my dressing area.

 I found the pink ballet slippers for only $10 as well.

 Old millenary flowers are one of my favorite things to collect.

Delicate layers of sheer fabric.

So girly.

 Tiny dots.

Pretty colors

I love my romantic little corner.

A New Shop Opening

Hi everyone!

I would like to announce the opening of my NEW SHOP.

SHABBY CHIC, PRAIRIE, COTTAGE, and RUSTIC wares for you and your home.

I am planning to have it up and running November 1, 2014.

The shop will be filled with lots of vintage goodies and some handmade items as well.

Some of the things you will find there are vintage clothing like these:

Some for wearing and some for display.

Decorative Items

 

 Useful Items

 

 Crafting Supplies

 Handmade Gifts

These are just a few examples of the many handpicked and handmade items that will be available.

My goal is to keep the shop filled with interesting, reclaimed, vintage items at affordable prices.

I want folks to be able to have that Shabby Chic or Prairie Style look that you see in all the magazines, without having to spend a ton of money. 

Items listed in the shop will be featured HERE at

www.shabbylaundrydrygoods.blogspot.com, where you can view more photos of the items you find interesting and also gather ideas for using them in your own home.

A huge THANK YOU to all of my readers and followers.

Please take a moment to stop in at www.shabbylaundrydrygoods.blogspot.com and follow along for a chance to win a pretty lavender sachet. A winner will be chosen on November 1st. I hope you will join me there.

May you find peace in your day!

Pastel Vases

Found this sweet pink ice bucket at the thrift store yesterday.

 It's chipped, but I still love it.

 I mean how often do you see a big pink ice bucket?

 Perfect for the last of my pink hydrangeas.

 No point leaving them outdoors to freeze.

 So pretty.

 This vase looks good even without flowers.

 One of my favorite colors.

Thanks for looking.

Take care.

Shabby Yellow

I know Shabby Chic usually brings thoughts of white, pink, and blue, but what about yellow.

 Just a few pretty flea market finds that I couldn't pass up.

 And the roses were a steal at just $1.99.

 Hope your weekend was bright and cheerful too.

Thanks for visiting.

A Shabby Corner

Over the years I've changed the look of my home many times.

I find the shabby look to be the most comforting and cozy.

I especially love white with a little color here and there.

This is a corner in my bedroom.

It's a little space where I keep pajamas, hankies I've collected, and lavender sachets.

These are some sachets that I made last night.

Some blingy jewelry that I've been collecting.

I love the softness of shabby decor.

I think pillows with ruffles will be my next DIY project.

See ya soon.
