Shabby Chic Lamp Shade Satin Rosette

Hello Darling friends!
Happy Pink Saturday!
Think twice before you throw out that outdated, snagged or
ill fitting lingerie!
I picked up a plain pink and white gingham lamp shade at the "Pink Door".
I knew it needed some fluff soooooo, I dipped into my pretty Shabby lace collection!
I layered lace like a waterfall from the top of the lamp shade all the way down.
Next I created this beautiful silky rosette out of the trim of
an ill fitting nightie shirt, too pretty to throw away, I knew it would have a future use.
I cut a 1 inch piece from the hem of the shirt top all the way around, so I would not have frayed edges. I then carefully made a pretty rosette taking care to leave the hemmed edge on the outside.
I had enough to make a pretty rosette attached to a clippy for my hair!
Oh so pretty and breathtakingly shabby!
I will be sharing this with

How Sweet the Sound

Happy Pink Saturday my lovely friends!
Hugs,
Olivia

    Olivia, you make such pretty things. Love the lamp shade. Just so cute. I also love your tea cup on the candle stick. I collect candle sticks and am sick of just having a votive on top of them and I have seen this in your post before, so this fall as I am re-doing things, I am going to be gluing a saucer on top of candle sticks and displaying some pretty teacups this way for the holidays! Thanks so much for all your inspiration!

    Hi Olivia,

    I use vintage linens on all of the lamps in my great room. They are fun to play with. I love the use of the lingerie on your lamp..it's really sweet and shabby..just perfect.

    Pink Sparkles,

    Olivia when I go to yard sales I look for lacy lingerie and other clothes that have interesting fabric to use when I sew!!
    As usual sweetie your lamp shade is gorgeous!
