So Ho Mode {So So Pretty}

I love these floral (and butterfly) dresses with coordinating wide band fabric belts, and the garden and geometric print skirts - all made from vintage fabrics. Wouldn't they be lovely to wear to a tea party or garden party? These pretty whimsies are made by Louise Hedley of Soho Mode, her online Etsy store. I discovered her creations on Hello! Lucky. Ms. Hedley also has a wonderful blog. Check them all out.

Shabby Chic Romance {Whimsical Lovelies}

Look at these lovelies from A Rose Without A Thorn designed by Maureen Reid. Her whimsical mannequins, crochet tote bags, faux cupcakes and beautifully laced cones, baskets and keepsake boxes are dreamy, and all are made from vintage fabrics! If I could afford to buy her mannequins and totes, I would buy them all and display them in every corner of my home! Also check out her Etsy shop for more whimsies.

Craft Room

Craft rooms - they are the inspiration rooms for many decorators and decorators-to-be. Craft rooms are great, especially vintage influenced craft rooms, showcasing the bolts of vintage fabrics, the vintage sewing machine maybe used by your mother or your grandmother, the colorful vintage ribbons, the vintage desk or table that you sit at to create, the collage board displaying vintage wallpaper samples - it all allows your imagination to go beyond your dreams.
