the softest shade of pale lavender blue
I fell in love with the color of this cloth even though it wasn’t
something that I would normally buy.
It was plain.
It was rectangular.
It was frankly kind of boring other than the color.

It was frankly kind of boring other than the color.
A soft pale lavender blue delicious color that is absolutely dreamy.
I knew it was perfect for something that I had in mind.
Something pretty and romantic
Something sweet, soft and charming…
something for my dining table for a Summer party.

So…
I took that fabric and cut it up into pieces and started
sewing.. and sewing…and sewing…
and in a little bit of time
and in a little bit of time
a most dreamy ruffled cloth was created.
uhm…
I do not usually have tons of blue around my home
but I have been adding more lately…
and this is closer to a periwinkle- blue with a touch of purple.
I’ll let you in on a little secret…
while sewing, I had an ooops that altered the ruffle
but… I absolutely adored the way it changed it
and so I continued on and finished it that way~ I’ll share more soon and
excited that this is just one of many things that is a part of

That's a gorgeous table cloth. It's like one of those hyper expensive linen tablecloths that you could buy at a boutique store, but better because you made it yourself! And of course it's fabulous on your table, in your beautiful dining room!

I'm in love with the light fixtures that are in your home. They are beautiful. I know there is a better word to describe what they are other then light fixtures but I just can't remember how to spell it.
