I think the chintz quality to the fabric is like that anyway.

I was reminded of a beautiful scrapbook I saw as a child that my mother made when she was a child of dried ferns, flowers and grasses. Sadly, since her passing, I have no idea what happened to the book. Many thanks for reminding me of such a precious, precious memory. Lois xxx

Intriguing for sure.

I really do love reading these entries, it’s so nice to see the before and learn the history of those who came before us.

Completely unique. Imagine that woman who was what-iffing long ago, all alone, no blogging friends to carry her along, and yet she persisted and here is beautiful proof of her journey. Is the fabric really soft, or is there a stiffness where the paint was sprayed? Just curious. Love, JM

I just love these! And of course the minute I saw them I was thinking what did they use to spray with? I wonder if this would work with bleach water? I’ll give it a try this weekend. So many things to explore in this world!
