So Seventies!

It looks like green has made its debut for the fall in CB2's newest ad campaign. The banding on the white pillows reminds me of the banding on this vintage pyrex baking dish. Good for baking up fudge brownies or a special cake, this 8 x 8 dish is looking for a place to call home.

Vera + Martha = a very good thing

This vintage Vera Neumann scarf can be turned into the perfect "bangle bag" as featured in Martha Stewart's new magazine, Blueprint. Easy instructions for the "bangle bag" as well as 2 other types of bags that can be made from scarves are featured on Martha's website, under Blueprint. You will need to become a member in order to view the instructions, but once you have signed up (free, of course) just find the Blueprint section (under magazines) and click on "3 simple scarf bag patterns." There are so many uses for this pretty scarf. Please feel free to list any suggestions you might have. If you like Vera Neumann, I will be listing more scarves in the weeks to come.

Peaches & Cream

This tablecloth would be the perfect finishing touch to an upcoming special dinner and the "Peach Lustre" casserole dish by Fire King adds a touch of glamour to the setting. Paired with any simple white dishes, these 2 beauties take center stage!
Please post comments if you have suggestions such as yummy recipes that would serve up well in the casserole dish!

magnolia blossom (cocoa) 24" x 24" vintage fabric remnants
