This Week’s Finds

Happy March, dear friends! Once again, I must express my gratitude for this kind and generous community we have here! I shared a decorating dilemma with you on Friday, and your responses have been pouring in ever since. How lucky am I? The fact that you took time out of a busy day to stop, read and share your advice, and did so gently and empathically, means a lot me. You’ve helped me make up my mind, and I appreciate it! (I’ll show you the outcome soon, I promise!)

Regarding this week’s finds, I assembled quite a few odd bits from my shopping cart, as well as my wishlist. eBay is one of my favorite places to shop for fabric that’s either been discontinued or is only available in smaller amounts. A little goes a long way, so a couple of yards of high-end designer fabric could be enough to make throw cushions, a roman shade or complete a smaller upholstery project. Below I’ve included a few lovely textiles that are typically only available through trade showrooms. I hope you see something you like. Also, I tried to resist it as much as I could, but I finally gave into the look of tiled seagrass rugs, so I’ve added a source for ready-made natural fiber rugs, available in several different sizes. There’s a pretty metal tripod table (another great Amazon find!), a set of seagrass baskets, and a few design stories to check out. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

    I am a Fabric Junkie and never thought of eBay for fabric shopping. We are currently limited now to only a few fabric shops here. I love all you showed, but the blue Monticello the best, but my mind was envisioning something for each one. Have fun creating. I always enjoy the finds you share. I normally would not be interested in a metal side table, but totally love the interesting one you shared.
    Thank you once again for sharing your thoughts and I spring ideas.

      Thank you so much, Lynn! It makes me happy to hear that you enjoy these weekly finds! The table was an unexpected find but, like you, I found it interesting and lovely. I think it could look good in any room, without stealing the spotlight.

    Yes, agree. I hope you will share what you end up doing with your fabric eventually.
