It's party time!!
I was so happy with the sweet and enthusiastic replies that I received. How wonderful to hear that my blog buddies also love the idea!
So, here is to you:
Simply Neutrals Tuesday #1!
A party needs some decoration, don't you think? So for this party I felt like making a little fabric autumn leaves garland.
And made a little DIY for anyone interested. It's very easy to make.
Some tips though:
1) You can find many leaf templates on pinterest.
2) Use sturdy fabric that doesn't fray too much (for this one I used an old table cloth).
3) Next time I will probably try leaving less space between the leaves and/or stitch them by hand using thicker thread.
Because although I like it as it is now, the garland is quite delicate the way I made it and the thread was pulling - well, you'll notice when you try this method - I just pulled back :)

And I'm also sharing with you today some lovely old linen with lace.
I so loved this photo that I decided to make a blog button out of it. Also because I thought the other one was a bit dark.
