yep! thats it exactly... you have the best resale shop. you are always finding great things... and won't this be a perfect curtain for embellishment?
I think so...is it called a Roman blind?
Jan and
nance...do you just bunch it up
like this?
Summertimes/anon...hi
it does look beautiful like this, whatever it is.
I agree with fabriquefantastique...it's a type of Roman shade.
long strips for you to gather it up, however you find it best to do so.
Manya...yes. there is part of me
that has an urge to tea dye. but
the white is just so simple and
quiet. it will have to move to
a different window once the cold
arrives.
Jaxx...i left you a message on your blog
kaite and everybody...well i googled roman blind and none i
saw were just cotton with these
great long "sashes"...the label
says made in india and actually,
it reminds me of how a window
might be covered there, kind of
haphazard billowy. i like it
cause it has a "feeling".
Hi, I thought maybe you 'swagger' it up in loose folds rather than roll it. Very pretty, great find! ;)
whatever it is, it's beautiful :)
Emma...yeah...i really didn't take
much time...that right hand side
is really bad. I'll try again
and do some folding.
thanks for offering your thoughts.
a roman blind usually has rings that the cord is threaded through and then it pulls itself up in soft pleats. this looks like a version of that and you can pleat it or just let it bunch.
what a great find, I like it this way, what sort of material is it?
xt
it is what it is and becomes what you want.
Yvette...did you see the comment
about the Komkommer??? i always
wonder if things just get lost
in this comment section...
and yes...you are right.
it is what it is.
this is great! you've found some great finds at that thrift shop of yours.
i dont like shopping at all but thriftshopping is another story.
XXXm
Martine, i have not bought one
single article of clothing anywhere
other than the local thriftshop
in 15 years..except underpants.
and i have been content!
when teaching here in Alb. i usually purchased my
"back to school" clothes at my favorite thrift store.
there is where treasures are found!
Hi! Christina! does this mean
you've done it??? Blog???
is it Savers?
What a great surprise to see you
here...Thank You for coming!
YES! to Savers.........
"not yet" to blog.
can't get the feel for a blogname
Cristina...oh wow.
about every 6 months, my daughter
and I (she's in Peralta) make a
b line to Savers. She looks for
work cloths, i look for stuff to
cut up.
about blog names, i have such
strong distinct visual memories
of your Tia's quilt on the fence
or line at your brothers...in the
sun, the coyote fence in the
background, can SEE the ditch
running clear in the back ground
where was that? maybe South Valley? maybe find a name from
your location...albuquerque is
such a layered beauty of a city/
world. or a name from your auntie's world?
i am really looking forward to
you getting it going because i
want to look at all those pictures
again.
i remember when you washed it and
were thrilled how the washing
softened everything, married it.
OH....this is really great!
THANK YOU for sharing this here!
