New Shelf Display

Very slowly I'm redecorating small areas of my house...this is all because of all the awesome inspiration I'm finding on your awesome blogs!


Theres more coming. I'm working the area below this and also I need to add more to the wall to the right.



I picked up the first baby dress by accident online. It's the one in the middle of the 3 white dresses and it was with a bunch of laces I bought. Wrinkled and terribly stained, after a good soaking it looked so pretty that I decided I better keep it. That made me decide to pick up a few more and find a way to display them.


This sweet little picture belonged to my Grandmother. It's been floating around the house for years. Once I put the shelf up and every thing in place this just seemed to fit right in...totally by accident. It goes so well with the puppy hangers and the little girl dresses.

The shaving mug with the rose was something I bought at an antique store and I just love it. It's one of my favorite pieces. It was $5 because it has a very slight hairline crack in the back, that doesn't bother me at all.


The wooden thing hanging to the left is supposed to be a baby toy. I wonder about that but it so different I just had to get it and it was so inexpensive. I wonder if that's lead paint???
The dress in the middle is what started all of this, the embroidery doesn't show well here but it is so dainty.



This little jumper is all wool. The jumper looks to be hand made but not the cape, not quite sure if they really belong together or not but they are pretty together.




And this hankie!!! It's all completely handmade. The eyelet is hand made and the rest of it is tatted. I have an earlier post of handmade eyelet lace showing the tool that was used.

This hankie just amazes me, the time that was spent on it and what was it for...a wedding perhaps?




Thanks for stopping!
