June Weddings & Old Lace

June has always been the wedding month and my Mom got married in June and other family members  have wedding anniversaries this month.( I was a young June bride)

Also I have always loved white and lace and it sure is in style now we all love the old vintage lace. I still  want a lace top and have to get me one made before summer is over I am going to use one of my old tablecloths and have said that before but really I am getting it made next week!

this is a project I got done this week and forgot to take a before picture. It was a very ugly pine box



I also painted a rack I bought last summer from a shop going out of business and she used it for wrapping paper and I thought I am using it for my white linens. First of all it was a bright red color so painted it white this week and didn't get a before picture I was just thinking get it done wasn't thinking get pictures for my blog


I painted both with a primer first then a good white paint and didn't sand the corners I like them just white.
This is the wall space in the bedroom with my round iron bed that I am hanging my rack in

  I never measure with a ruler or tape I just eye ball where I want it and hang it

I added a lace tablecloth to the ends

Back to my little desk thing
                             
                      This is a little picture  I decorated once             
                                                              


                                                           
I have had these little cardboard tea pots for some time now I think I got them at yard sales
                                                                                                                  


I love this lace on an old pillowcase I have a set

I found an etsy shop on Heather Bullard's  blog anyway loved these little initial ribbons so ordered some for my cards I like to make. I believe it was on the Flea Market magazine blog
                  

This script  material  i bought in Atlanta at Country Living Fair last October
                                                                         
                 It may be a little messy looking but I love it

  8. I am guessing you live up North, I live in Orlando now and no one likes to get married in the June heat. When I lived in Minnesota, every weekend in Juneseemed to be booked with weddings, reunions, or BBQ! Oh I love the lace! I am so glad lace and frills are in style, I hope this trend lasts forever!!

  10. Raggedy Ann looks as though she feels right at home at your place!


    DAWN TO DUSK

    Yellow’s the color I wear at dawn
    When dancing dewdrops spangle the lawn.

    Red is the color I wear at dusk
    When earth and sky are dry as a husk

    And nothing stirs—not even a wing
    Of bat or swallow or anything!

  12. Hi Janice,
    Don't you just love how white paint will transform almost anything from blah to beautiful! Both pieces look great and I love all of your lace!
    Thanks for stopping by my blog....I wanted to answer your question about how I cut the tops off of the spools for the magnets I made. I put the spool in a vice and used a hand saw. The wood is pretty soft and it cut easily. Hope that helps.
