Curtain call...

I bought my vintage bedroom drapes at Farm Chicks earlier this year. Tracey and Tara and I were strolling through on the second day and they caught my eye.

I loved how they had such vibrant color a the top, but age and the sun had faded them toward the bottom.


 The only problem was there were only two panels and I needed 4; but at for $20 for the pair, how could I pass them up?! I knew even if I didn't use them as drapes, it was great fabric.
Luckily, my good friend, Anne, and I brainstormed and decided to split each panel in half and use them for decoration only. I have to admit, when pictures are not being taken, my hubby and I are black-out shade people. I am like a vampire with the morning sun.



I decided not to line them, because I love the  sunlight coming through them.. AFTER I am already up. :)

Hi sweet friend...can't get into your etsy shop to leave you a note..but was wondering if you could send me another flower for my brown messenger bag..I lost it in Seattle and can't find it anywhere!!! I was soooo sad and mad..some person has a nice flower. The bag is just not the same without it...let me know the cost.
