Tales of a white wednesday

I would like to say a big thank you to Karen at Valentine Design for giving my blog a fabulous make over. I am delighted with the result, so if you need help she is sooo... clever
This week is my second white wednesday and I am loving being part of it.

My inspiration this week comes from this beautiful Italian Corded lace, I have several metres of this and am now using it in my designs.

I have used it to embellish this bolster cushion, it

looks so pretty over the natural linen. I have stitched small white pearls to highlight the edges of the lace. The ends of the bolster are finished with a rolled linen rose.

I'm using up lots of my lace collection in these pictures, the photograph is of my grandparents dancing on Blackpool Pier I think possibly in the early 1930's. Grandma has a white dress and white sunglasses and grandad is in his Oxford bags. Fancy wearing a suit to visit the seaside.

Talking of seaside, on my walk on Easter Sunday I found some white pebbles on the beach, I have put them with some pearly shells given to me by a friend and with a big shell from the beach in Cuba. They sit on a shelf in my bathroom.

Hope you like my whites this week , thanks so much for your comments last week.

Happy WW.
