I ordered the below very cute bunting from Joyce who sells her wonderful handmade items on Etsy (from Joyce's blog you can get to her Etsy shop and her Ebay shop). Joyce had the bunting wrapped in cream and black toile tissue paper, tied with a pretty red ribbon. She also included a really cute book mark that she had made. It was so fun to get that package! I took a few pictures of it. This is in Evy's room. The bunting lines the front of two shelves.
Closer picture. Geez, in looking close up, I didn't get it attached very straight. Oh well.
Another....even closer
I'll post some pictures of the snow tomorrow. I just need to get out there with my boots and take some pictures. It's so beautiful.
Cute bunting.

Hi Allison, The bunting is adorable. It looks great where you decided to place it. I just love getting packages in the mail, even when I paid for them. It's just so exciting. I also wanted to tell you that I love your choice of favorite books. Ina and Nigella are 2 of my 3 favorites on Food Network, and I LOVE Shabby Chic. I always have, even before it was "in style". And I was looking at the Caroline Atkins book in the bookstore 2 nights ago. And the Miss Marple and Poirot goes without saying... Stay warm with all of that snow. Kim.

Love that bunting! Is it made from old quilts?

What a suprise when I checked in on your blog...I guess I didn't realize the the lady who bought the bunting and the one with this adorable blog were the same! It looks very cute in your daughter's sweet room. I'm glad you liked it.

Isn't that funny, I've been going to Joyce's blog at http://gardenjunk.blogspot.com/ and I didn't even realize it was that Joyce that I bought the bunting from. Boy, it's a small, small blogging world isn't it. Thank you Joyce!
