Lovely freebies for lovely followers- Read on! Boy, do I have a treat for you, each and every one of you in fact! I know a large percentage of my followers are partial to pretty things inspired by the French, rustic, vintage style…and some of you LOVE anything to do with Paris. Some others love inspirational phrases, signs and wonderful mantras. Most of you, just like pretty things…and come on, who doesn’t? I have a little link that will lead you to three free printable prints. They are all so sweet and will look wonderful in mismatched frames. So go, download them, print and hang them. If I were you, I would make them a feature and hang them in a group of three to make a real positive statement in your home, guaranteed to bring a smile on the grayest of days!

Offcuts like these are perfect for crafting and DIY-ing with. You can line envelopes, brighten up an old piece of furniture, line your drawers or even put some in a frame as a lovely piece of art.

From my home to yours- Part 2: I have this ugly, modern, reproduced coat rack on my bedroom wall- I can’t remove it, the flat doesn’t belong to me and I don’t want two ugly holes on my wall. So, I covered the damn thing with all my little hanging treasures and it has become a real focal point of my room! Mine features some of my many hanging hearts, some Laura Ashley photo framed, a vintage style clutch bag, a birthday card that I love a lot, some roses and an East of India trinket. Why don’t you try it to? Simply get yourself a cheap, boring coat rack and get hanging all your little wonders, the prettier the better. Your treasures will get the attention they deserve and it’ll make for a lovely feature in your bedroom…or any room infact!  Whoever said coat racks should only be for coats..was a fool!

From my home to yours- Part 1: Necklaces as curtain ties, it definitely works. I had this pearl necklace lying around and I needed a curtain tie. You can buy some lovely ones but they are often expensive. So I put my necklace around the curtain and this is what I got. Very pretty, very French Chic, it has lasted me a long time and at a minimum cost. I have also done this with a pair of burgundy curtains using a very cheap string of pearls and the effect is adorable!  So, try it…you might like it.
