Granny-Chic

Vintage needlepoint, thrifted crystal vases, limoges plates, antique gold tables with pretty-patinas and classic paintings of sewing inspire me. My decorating style marches to a vintage-vibe.

I can't wait to show you the Ballard Designs Claire chandelier I finally ordered. It wasn't the exact color I expected so I lightly painted it with some Renaissance-gold to give it an antique-gold appearance.

A new cross stitch pattern is on the horizon too. I've designed another simple heart. I'm stitching it with Paris-pink silk on crisp white linen. Stay tuned!  xx ~ Jilly
         

Vintage Needlepoint

Hi Friends!

As promised, here's the vintage-needlepoint-treasure I recently found on etsy. The frame is painted with white chalk paint. I love the cheerful flowers against the shell-pink background. I like to keep clutter at a minimum in my tiny home. But somehow I always find space for sweet and nostalgic vintage needlework. 

I hope you're having a wonderful weekend! I'm off for a walk in the park near the sea. The flowers are in full bloom. The sky is robin's-egg-blue. After the nor'easter we just had, I'm grateful for the warm sunshine. 

Happy Stitching! xx ~ Jilly
