In one of our other posts I showed you a couple of them and now we have the others out and displayed.
Doug finally found a resting place for his huge rusty tin Paul Revere Lantern and I’m loving where it where he put it.
We just never had the right thing to balance off the cabinets on the sides of the fireplace but now we do!
The pillow is sooooo nice and now I wish I would have purchases more of them to sell - the size is perfect for the bed - I used to have 3-4 smaller pillows now and then but now this one works so much better.
And sitting next to it is my adorable doll I won from Dawn Gunning of THE FORGOTTEN BARN http://dawngunning.blogspot.com/ in one of her Give A-Ways. Isn’t she cute there - a perfect match don’t you think????

One of my passions- coverlets/table squares/throws from Family Heirloom Weavers. The quality of these items is so wonderful and if anyone has any of them I know you would say the same thing.
There are many more of these scattered throughout the house but these at least are all in one place so you can see them here.

And finally I finished up the last of my special order.
The picture shows just the 3 pieces but now they are sewn together with tabs at the top to make one long piece that she will most likely run a dowel through and use it as a hanging although it shows in the photograph that it can be used as a mantel doily or where ever one would choose to display it to hang over the edge spelling out the word 'Welcome'.
I hope those of you who have off today have a wonderful 'Presidents Day' and find lots of fun things to do with your extra day!
Hugs, Karen
Beautiful displays, Karen. I'm drooling over those coverlets. I haven't been able to find them anywhere (and I live in Philly!!). Any ideas on where to find them?

Hi Karen -
ReplyDeleteThanks for your post - I can appreciate the 'treasures'. I live where there are very few places to shop for antiques and fun decorating stuff unless it is online. I am going to go check out the coverlet website and drool. Thanks for visiting my blog. I love your home!!!!
Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteLove the lantern! I used to have one like it, but it was not rusty...gave it to my MIL because she loved it so much. Your coverlets are just wonderful! Everything looks great.
Cindy
Oh yes, Family Heirloom weavers are the best. We love the coverlet on our kind sized bed and I use one of their plaid blankets as a spread on the daybed in my office. And all their smaller throws and such - just wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYour lantern looks great there and the doll does indeed fit perfectly with your new pillow.
Your special orders are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing all your pics. I look forward to your posts!
Hi Karen! I love the pillow and the doll looks perfect with it.
ReplyDeleteYour spring hanging is so cute!
Terry
I love everything you bought!
ReplyDeleteYour penny rug hanging is so nice. I love it! Was it a pattern or your own design?
Cathy

I love those linens. The only one I kept for myself is a table runner, but i need to sift thru my catalogs and order some more! You have a beautiful home and your work is wonderful!
ReplyDeletePS which issue of Country Sampler is your home featured in?
ReplyDeleteKaren.. I just ordered the Country Sampler Home tour Edition on Feb. 11th and got it today~ I'd order it offline & save time! I don't even know if they sell them in stores~ I've never seen one! LOL
ReplyDeleteJustina

Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteThankyou for visiting my blog. I love yours as well. I also love your website. I have so much wool and have alway wanted to make a penny rug but just haven't done it yet. I enjoyed looking at your photos as well.

Hey there! This is my first time visiting you. I saw the link on another blog and was intrigued by the name.
ReplyDeleteWow, you have a great blog! I am enjoying it so much. I too, love coverlets and have one big one (not old) and a few small pillows made from old ones. I also have a few dish towels in coverlet patterns. I love to use them on tables and tucked into crocks, but never to use as a dish towel! LOL!
I am adding you to my blog list and I hope you will also visit me when you have time. I'm sure I will be back to visit you often.
Have a great week!
