It's About Time

I featured this mezzaluna rug here on my blog a looooooong time ago. I tried to consider it finished, but something just wasn't right. It wasn't as large as I wanted it to be, and it was just, well, blah.

~*~

I searched and searched on and off for several weeks to find a coordinating fabric that would make it look more special. Then, of course, once I found it, I had to make the time to go back and revamp the original.

~*~

If I had known how awesome the result would be, I'd have completed this a long time ago! The raspberry color in the second fabric is such a perfect match. I am thrilled to say that this neutral beauty has finally claimed her rightful place on the *shelf* in sosorosey; she's ready to be chosen for a special new home!

Makeover Monday: 11/16

I started with a gorgeous king size Ralph Lauren cotton sheet...

...and I am almost finished with mezzaluna number 2. I love the way this one has a neutral effect with a burst of festive shabby chic-ness. I plan to try to have one of these half moon rugs in my shop at all times. I'm taking suggestions about what the next color should be. Any thoughts?

Makeover Monday: 11/8

For this week's project, I started with a gorgeous, recently thrifted set of vintage Cannon Royal Family sheets.

And I came up with a new pattern for a half-moon rug! This one is super cushy and will last years and years. Fits perfectly in front of a sink or a door- it measures 34" across and is 15" at its widest point. Over half an inch thick, too!

I need to take a few more photos, but look for it in my shop this week. Price tag: $45. Once this sweetie has been snatched up, I'll offer a custom half-moon rug option- you pick the color!

Happy Monday, everyone :)

Exciting Earth Day

I had a very special surprise today! My super friend Angela from aandboriginals sent me the screenshot above... That's my orange tray down on the bottom, and this was an Etsy front page this morning.

~*~

I am particularly flattered by this as it was a collection chosen by Etsy admin, found using the word "upcycled"...I am so humbled and excited to have my "eco-friendliness" honored this way on Earth Day.

~*~

And this gorgeous purple and mustard collection was on the front page yesterday! What a rush! Thank you to 3dots for including my bowl set, and thank you Amy from ThePeachTree for sending me a message to let me know!
