Fresh Crisp Window

Good morning everyone!
Mid Week is finding the mugginess coming back.
The air will be back on once again.

Gramma H always loved her white linen.
I have been thinking more about her linens lately.
Wondering where they went after she passed.
Wishing I could have them right now.
Maybe that's why lately I have been drawn
 more to linen than ever before.

I decided to add linen for my bath curtain.
Could not find any white curtain rings,

so I purchased some silver ones.

Then I spray painted them white to match the rod.

Waited until the linen fabric on the bolt at Joann's

was at 50% then purchased this linen.

The ribbon lace was also on sale.

I did machine sew the edges of the linen
 so as not to fray,

however the lace was hand sewn.

Lace sewn just on the bottom.

A somewhat finished look.

Yes I did say somewhat as I plan 

on adding another layer to this.

I thought this was a bit too simple...

but I did not have enough time to 

finish in one day.

Day Two.
I was perusing the photos 
of my grandparents wedding poses.
Back in the early 1900's,
and lace was all the rage.
Both Gramma H and Gramma B's veils
were long and frilly lace.
They were beautiful!
So once again I went to Joann's. 

 I purchased 3/4 of a yard of this lace. 

Once again I sewed the ribbon lace onto the lace,
This overlay of lace reminded me
of my Gramma's wedding veils.

Imagine the end of a veil in this shape.

It was Gramma H's love of French linen
and both my Gramma's wedding veils
 that inspired this window treatment.

My mom loved it and the story behind it!

Speaking of mom,
she is getting stronger each day.
She starts out-patient therapy next week.
We walk 10 minutes a day.
She walks with her cane each morning...
and hopefully soon se can lose the walker.

Fresh Crisp Window Blessings To All!
