Vintage Doily Project

I am so ecstatic for Mad Men tonight! I have been so patient! I cannot believe it has been 17 months since the last season. I  cannot wait to see what Don Draper and Peggy Olson are up to!

But enough about television.....let me share a project I completed this weekend......

I had a few vintage doilies that I had been collecting and I thought that if framed, they would be sweet little accents to our bedroom. 


My doilies were very delicate and were quite yellowed, so I had to use a combination of Oxyclean and Woolite to brighten them up. 


I purchased two antique-style frames and picked up some acid free card stock to mount
them on.  Then, my sweet hubs hung one above each side table in our master bedroom. 


I am so pleased with the result and I am looking forward to my next project. I just bought one of these......   

Have you embellished one before? If so, please share a link to your project for some inspiration!  

Bridal Inspirations

Oh how I wish BHLDN existed back when I was planning my wedding! This online store has extraordinary vintage-inspired gowns, lingerie, shoes, jewelry, and other accessories for your special day. For the wedding industry, their prices are pretty reasonable too! Not surprisingly, it comes from the same folks behind Anthropologie (a store I wouldn't mind moving into)! 

Here are a few of my favorite looks: 

You can even take a quiz to see what type of bride you are -- apparently I am a nostalgic romantic -- I'll take it!

If you love wedding fashions, you should definitely check them out!

Take Me Back to Beverly Hills

Can't get enough of vintage 90210 episodes! I heart watching them while I cook or craft at night! The fashion blows my mind sometimes. I wonder if bodysuits or chokers will ever come back? 

Check this out -- 90s Flashback: Luke Perry and Jason Priestley | Lopez Tonight! They look pretty good, though their  hair is just not the same. I'll leave you with the theme song. What in the world is Donna wearing?
