My Fuchsia Shawl Vignette!


I love this pink silk shawl. Actually, it is a piece of silk I found in a markdown bin at a fabric store years ago. I tried to think what I could make out of it but, alas, there wasn't enough of it for anything other than a "shawl" so I "fringed" the edges and put it over a table in front of our family room sofa. It is the most gorgeous shade of pink I've ever seen and I get to gaze at it daily from my chair in that room!

The little vase I found at a specialty store in Boise and just loved the MacKenzie-Childs look of it and bought it fast! I just stuck some very real looking roses in it and plopped it down on that table. I love little vignettes around my house!

  7. Great idea, Connie! I have several of those pieces that are just so lovely on their own, you hate to cut them up. Think I'll go get one now and "fringe it" up.
