I was the lucky winner of a give-away from
Cynthias Cottage Design and received it late last week. What with sewing frenzies and an impromptu visit from my brother I've not had the time until now to show you this lovely package. If you have never been to
Cynthias Cottage Design, go now! It is so beautiful and I love her use of color and pattern. She has great decorating ideas and a darling online store and design services. I won this gorgeous box of goodies which included one of her beautiful collages, a vintage apron, a pink toile plate, a pretty, pretty basket and this vintage cross stiched tablecloth. There was also a little blue plate that adds to my recent search for blue and white dishes and I love it all!
You can see how the collage she made looks on my beadboard backsplash in the kitchen, beautiful! I added the apron and plate just so you could see them together. I have the other plate and the basket in use elsewhere already. SO pretty:>)
I wanted to show you a photo of the table cloth all opened up because I am seeing a red cross stitch monogram in the center and this made into a pillow, what do you think? It is a small table cloth but it would make a big cushy pillow and the center of the rose ring just calls out for that monogram don't you think?
Thank you Cynthia, I enjoy your blog so much and I loved getting this package of beautiful gifts in the mail, it brightened my day!

Congratulations on your win! We are drooling over that darling tablecloth!
How fortunate you are to receive one of Cynthia's gifts. It amazes me how you can take the beautiful gift and place it so that it looks just like it belongs. The two of you together are quite a combo.
I love Cynthia's blog. Congrats on your win, so exciting!!

I know you are loving winning those beautiful things. I really enjoy Cynthia's blog too. I love how she mixes up a vintage, American, french feel. I can't wait to post photos of the apron you sent. I put it on a wire dress form that hangs on a wall. I'm thinking of using some of the vintage toweling to make some of those bread bags that were on Cynthia's blog. Have a great 4th.

Lucky girl ...what a fabulous giveaway to win! I'll be waiting to see the monogram pillow! You always work wonders with vintage fabrics. Thank you for the link to Miss Cynthia ...beautiful blog!
Just stopping by to see what you're sharing. Trying to catch up after several days out of town and I was thrilled to see that you won Cynthia's give-away. Congratulations. Yes, I can visualize the monogram and the pillow. Do it - and let us see what you come up with. ~Adrienne~
Yes, yes! Monogram it! That would be soooo pretty! I was very happy to see that you had won her give-a-way even though I had also entered...and you know I collect redwork, but really, I was happy! LOL!
Enjoy all those goodies!
